Abstract:
An adjustable sewer inlet section for collecting and directing surface water drainage into a subterranean conduit, comprising a receiving member defining at least one opening for receiving the surface water, and a hollow member having first and second opposed parallel end portions which are off-centered with respect to one another, said first end portion being able to be connected in flow communication with the subterranean conduit while allowing said hollow member to be adjustably rotated with respect to said subterranean conduit wherein said second end portion displaces in an orbit-like fashion about an axis of rotation of said hollow member, said receiving member being able to be connected in flow communication with said second end portion of said receiving member and being adjustable with respect thereto, whereby inaccurate lateral positioning of the subterranean conduit is corrected by rotating the hollow member to displace the second end portion thereof to a lateral adjusted position, thereby enabling the receiving member connected to said hollow member to be properly laterally positioned with respect to a reference line.
