ABSTRACT:
A weldless and solderless fluid distribution piping system incorporating solely mechanical retention of one or more inlet/outlet fittings in holes in the side wall of a pipe. In each case, the fitting has at one end a fishmouth configuration and an annular bead, and this end end is first inserted into the hole in the pipe and the bead thereafter forcibly expanded into tight mechanical and sealing relationship with the edges of the hole. A deformable and resilient sealing gasket can optionally be interposed between the fitting and pipe to provide an improved seal, if desired. Novel apparati and a method for attaching such fittings to a pipe are also disclosed.
