ABSTRACT:
A snake cleanable fluid flow system is provided which incorporates a first fitting in the form of a clean-out pipe and a second fitting in the form of a baffled tee. The two fittings may be formed integrally. The clean-out pipe is in the form of a tee with the leg of the tee being divided by an interior partition into first and second fluid passageways. The crossbar of the tee is also longitudinally bisected by a partition to form second and third fluid passageways. The partitions are disposed at right angles to each other so that the first and second fluid passageways are in communication with both the third and fourth fluid passageways. A snake may be selectively directed down various paths formed by the four fluid passageways. The baffled tee fitting has a baffle which will divert a snake out either end of its crossbars. The various baffles and partitions facilitate cleaning the entire flow system by deflecting the snake inserted into the clean-out pipe and baffled tee into a preselected one of a variety of possible paths formed by the various partitions and the baffles. The clean-out pipe may be positioned in the interior of a building when the fluid flow system is used as a drainage system.
