Rodding branch unit
The branch unit (20, Figs 2a-2e) has an inlet pipe portion (22), and outlet pipe portion (26) arranged at an angle to the inlet, and a further pipe portion (28) providing access to the unit via an open end (30). The further pipe is provided with means for retaining an end cap (32). The retaining means may be retained by lugs 34 with bolts 36, the cap may threadingly engage the pipe, or there may be a push fit connection. In use the cap may be removed such that rodding equipment can be inserted to remove any blockages. The unit may include lugs 42a/b to facilitate attachment of the unit, by hanging or suspension, underneath a floor. The outlet pipe may be at a 45 degree angle to the inlet pipe. The outlet pipe and further pipe portion may be in line. The unit may also be used as a 2 to 1 junction to connect three pipes together, rather than for rodding access.
