Abstract (en)
[origin: US2005235409A1] A whirlpool tub fitting assembly includes a suction cover, a threaded nut, a threaded fitting, and an offset elbow. The fitting assembly is located in a respective aperture in the tub wall. The threaded fitting defines a conduit fitting draft angle of approximately 15 degrees. As tub walls are typically angled at approximately 3-5 degrees and the fitting draft angle is approximately 15 degrees, water within the piping will drain into the tub rather than being retained within the elbow.
