Abstract
An orifice shield for a wastewater drainage conduit is an injection molded unitary body which is cylindrically-shaped with a first open end and an opposed second open end. The body is provided with a top wall and rounded sidewalls extending from the top wall. At least one flow through slot is provided in the top wall of the body to allow the flow of effluent therethrough. The rounded sidewalls terminate in spaced edges which extend along the length of the unitary body for receiving and gripping a conduit. Longitudinally extending spacers are provided along an interior surface of the unitary body for spacing the top wall of the orifice shield from the drainage conduit.
