Abstract
An adapter is disclosed for connecting a multi-passage conduit section to a plurality of single bore pipes. Both the conduit and the adapter have partition walls forming passageways, and the adapter has a male end receivable in the female end of the conduit. The partition walls at the male end of the adapter are generally rectangular and correspond in configuration to the partition walls at the female end of the conduit, whereas the partition walls at the opposite end of the adapter along with the enclosing walls of the adapter define a plurality of cylindrical sleeves into which pipe sections are receivable. The partition walls taper generally uniformly from a generally rectangular to a cylindrical configuration. The pipe sections can be coupled to single bore pipes. The partition walls at the female end of the conduit section include an inclined projection, and the partition walls at the male end of the adapter have a correspondingly inclined recess to allow interlocking telescopic mating of the adapter and conduit section. The inclined projections and recesses provide mutual surface to surface reinforcement to support the joint between the adapter and conduit section against shear loading.
