ABSTRACT:
A siphon elbow for pivotally connecting separate horizontal and vertical siphon pipes in fluid communication, comprising a horizontal body and a pivot body. The horizontal body has a first, longitudinally-extending passageway defined therethrough between opposite first and second open ends, the first open end connectable to an end of a horizontal siphon pipe. A second passageway is defined transversely through the horizontal body and intersects the first passageway. The second passageway is at least partially defined by opposite openings in the horizontal body. The pivot body has a passageway defined transversely therethrough between first and second open ends, the second open end being connectable to an end of a vertical siphon pipe. The pivot body is freely rotatably supported within the second passageway of the horizontal body so as to permit the positioning of a vertical siphon pipe connected thereto between a first position, characterized in that the vertical siphon pipe is generally longitudinally aligned with the first, longitudinally extending passageway of the horizontal body, and a second position, characterized in that the vertical siphon pipe is aligned at an angle relative to the first, longitudinally extending passageway of the horizontal body.
