Abstract
A fitting is provided to permit granular material carried in an air stream to be deposited within a storage vessel without having the air stream entering the storage vessel itself. The fitting has a tubular filter screen within the housing of the fitting and an air and dust exit port communicates with the filter screen to permit air and dust to be carried through this filter screen and out of the fitting housing. Because of the close proximity of the fitting to the storage vessel, the momentum of the granular material being carried through the fitting deposits the material within the storage vessel.
