Improvements in the Means of Connecting Outlet Pipes from Closets
and like Places to Soil or Waste Water Pipes.
I, CHARLES TAYLOR, of 26, Wellington Road, Eccles, in the County of Lan-
caster, Plumber, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention is for an improvement in the means of connecting the outlet
pipes of closets, baths, or other like places such as are ordinarily contained
within a building, to the soil pipe or waste water pipe that is usually placed on
the outside of the building for conveyance to the drains.
The objects of my invention are to enable said outlet pipes to be united to
the soil or waste pipe at any preferred angle, to facilitate the operation of forming
the connection between said pipes, and to obtain a perfect joint: For the pur-
pose of this invention I form the outlet pipe at the part where the connection
is required to be made with a vertically elongated aperture having a flange
around said aperture which forms a face against which to place the face of a
corresponding flange formed on to the end of the outlet pipe from closet or
other place.
I form the flange on said outlet pipe by first placing a flat metal ring on over
the end of the pipe and then bending up the end of the lead outlet pipe so as to
form a flange such as herein before described, the lead flange on the end of the
outlet pipe coming between the aforesaid metal ring and the metallic flange on
the soil pipe.
These flanges are then bolted together and a perfect water tight joint is
obtained.

and like Places to Soil or Waste Water Pipes.
I, CHARLES TAYLOR, of 26, Wellington Road, Eccles, in the County of Lan-
caster, Plumber, 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:-
The improvements which form the subject of this invention relate to means
for connecting the outlet pipes of baths, closets, or other like places such as

page_text: are ordinarily contained within a building to the waste water or soil pipe which
may be placed on the outside of the building for conveyance to the drains.
The objects of my invention are to enable said outlet pipes to be united to
the waste water or soil pipe at any preferred angle without requiring a special
form of flange for each angle, to facilitate the operation of forming the con-
nection between said pipes, and to obtain a perfect joint.
In the accompanying drawing Fig. 1 is a vertical section of the wall of a
building showing connections between a closet in the interior of a structure
and the soil or waste water pipe outside the wall. Figs. 2 to 5 are details showing
the manner of forming the pipe joints and connections.
In these views similar letters refer to similar parts.
For the purpose of this invention I form a vertically elongated flanged aper-
ture in the pipe a, as Fig. 2, as the part where the connection is required to
be made with the outlet pipe c from closet as shown or other place.
The flange b around the aperture 6 provides a face against which to place
the face of a corresponding flange that is formed on the end of the outlet pipe c,
said flange is obtained by first placing a metal ring or washer as d on over the
end of the lead outlet pipe c and then bending up the end of said pipe outside
the ring the lead flange thus formed is placed against the flange b' on
the soil pipe a to which the metallic ring d is bolted, the lead flange c¹ being
retained firmly between the two metallic flanges b and d.
By these means the outlet pipe may be connected at any angle as in Fig. 4,
with the vertical flange on the soil or waste water pipe outside the wall or in
other position and a perfectly water tight joint is obtained and noxious effluvia
prevented.
When pipes of smaller diameter as e are required to be united to the aforesaid
vertical flange, a lead washer e¹ is soldered to the end of the pipe e on which a
metallic ring as d has been previously placed, which is bolted to the flange b¹
on the pipe a in the manner herein before described, the washer that has been
soldered to the end of the pipe and which forms the flange being secured between
the metallic flange 61 and the ring d.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:
1. For forming connections between baths, closets, or other places, and the
waste water or soil pipe, outlet pipes that are formed with flanges to suit any
angle by the combination of a ring or washer placed on over the end of said
outlet pipe which is then bent up outside the ring, for fixing to a vertical
elongated flanged opening in the soil or waste water pipe in the manner and
for the purpose substantially as herein before described.
2. For forming connections between baths, closets, or other places, and the
waste water or soil pipe, outlet pipes that are formed with flanges to suit any
angle by the combination of outlet pipes as c provided with flanges as c¹, rings or
washers as , and soil or waste water pipes with elongated flanged openings as b
all substantially as described.
