Abstract
An adjustable suction pipe assembly for use in a liquid transfer system including at least first and second pipe members wherein one end of the second pipe member includes a seal member and wherein the second pipe member is frictionally insertable within the first pipe member, the seal member being slidably adjustable along the length of the first pipe member. The seal member is oriented such that a portion thereof extends away from the outside diameter of the second pipe member and sits in a space formed between the engagement of the first and second pipe members. If the fluid level within the supply tank is below the location of the seal member, atmospheric air which may enter the first pipe member at a location above the seal member will force the seal member against the inside diameter of the first pipe member thereby further sealing the connection therebetween.
