Improvements in Fittings for Hot Water Circulating Pipes.
I, CHARLES PATULLO KINNELL, of 65, Southwark Street, Southwark, in the
County of London, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to
be as follows;-
This invention has for its object to provide means whereby it will be possible
in cases where two pipes are fixed side by side or one above the other, to take
a branch from the pipe furthest from the desired point which the branch is to
connect, in a direct manner, that is, without making sets in either of the pipes
or bending the branch connection over the pipe interposing, but as above men-
tioned, it will permit the branch from tee piece or other fitting in the outer pipe
to travel direct to the desired point of connection without setting across the
interposing pipe.
My improved fitting has a divided waterway and an opening through its centre
to permit of the passage of the pipe which would otherwise require to be bent over
the interposing pipe or a set off made in the interposing pipe to permit the
connection from the point desired to the pipe which it is required to connect
up to, to pass in a direct line.

Improvements in Fittings for Hot Water Circulating Pipes.
I, CHARLES PATULLO KINNELL, of 65, Southwark Street, Southwark, in the
County of Surrey, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and
in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement: —
This invention has for its object to provide means whereby it will be possible,
in cases where two pipes are fixed side by side or one above the other to take a
branch from the pipe furthest from the desired point which the branch is to connect
in a direct manner that is without making sets in either of the pipes or bending
the branch connection over the pipe interposing but as above mentioned, it will

to the desired point of connection without setting across the interposing pipe.
My improved fitting has a divided waterway and an opening through its centre
to permit of the passage of the pipe which would otherwise require to be bent
over the interposing pipe or a set oft made in the interposing pipe to permit the
connection from the point desired to the pipe which is required to connect up
to, to pass in a direct line.

A opening through which the branch from underneath pipe is passed.
BB shows the divided waterway.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion & in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:-
1. An improved fitting with an opening in its centre to permit the branch
pipe from the furthest main pipe, to pass through the opening in the nearest
main pipe, in a direct line & so avoid the necessity of bending or making sets in
either of the pipes.
2. A fitting with a divided waterway, so that the water travelling along the main
pipe into the fitting divides itself & so flows past on both sides of the branch pipe
going through the opening in centre of fitting.
3. An improvement in fittings for hot water circulating pipes as set out &
described in the foregoing specification & shown on the drawing filed with my
Provisional Specification.
