Abstract The invention has for its object to construct a discharge pit in a manner such that the height of incorporation is adjustable, whereas the effective height of the water trap remains unvaried under any condition so that the dimensions can always be adapted in the factory to the standards imposed by the authorities. In order to achieve the above-mentioned object the invention provides a discharge pit with a water trap comprising a housing that can be fastened to the discharge tube, an annular pot vertically displaceable therein and having a perforated lid adapted to be mounted in the plane of the floor and having a tube stub extending vertically in the pot and having a predetermined height to form the water trap, said pot being vertically slidable in sealing relationship in said housing or around a tube end connected with the discharge tube.
A discharge pit having a water trap and adapted to be connected to a discharge pipe, said discharge pit comprising: a housing adapted to be connected to said discharge pipe; an annular pot vertically displaceable within said housing and having an outer cylindrical wall, an inner cylindrical wall of lesser height than said outer wall, and a bottom wall connecting said outer and inner walls, one of said outer and inner walls slidably engaging said housing; a perforated lid removably supported on the upper end of said outer wall and having a tube stub extending vertically within said annular pot; and a seal carried by said annular pot and engaging said housing.
