Claim:
A kit for coupling pipes together, comprising: a single-piece U-shaped adaptor having a first end and a second end, the U-shaped adaptor comprising a pair of spaced apart pipe members adapted for fluid flow therethrough and disposed parallel to each other and connected by a bridging member that defines inside and proximal to the first end of said U-shaped adaptor a concave passage between said pair of spaced apart pipe members, wherein each of said pair of spaced apart pipe members includes an opening at the adaptor first end and at the adaptor second end, each opening being adapted to receive an additional pipe, a U-shaped member adapted for fluid flow therethrough, wherein the first end of said adaptor is open such that said U-shaped member contacts said concave passage of said bridging member when said U-shaped member is received within the U-shaped adaptor; and additional pipe members placed within each opening of said pair of spaced apart pipe members at said adaptor second end, wherein the additional pipe members contact the U-shaped adaptor and are fluidly connected with said U-shaped member.
