Benefits of technology

The patent text describes a handle for lifting and moving water tanks. The handle has a connecting portion and two pipe nuts that are connected to the water tank piping connections. The handle can also have a knob for easy gripping. The technical effect of this invention is to make it easier and more efficient to move water tanks around, saving time and effort.

Problems solved by technology

Water heater tanks can be extremely heavy and difficult to lift and move.
Water heater tanks become especially heavy if calcium and other sediments have accumulated at the bottom of the tank over the course of many years of use.
Therefore, lifting and moving a water heater tank can be very difficult or awkward.

Embodiment Construction

[0016]While this invention is susceptible of an embodiment in many different forms, there are shown in the drawings and will be described herein in detail specific embodiments thereof with the understanding that the present disclosure is to be considered as an exemplification of the principles of the invention. It is not intended to limit the invention to the specific illustrated embodiments

[0017]Water heaters comprise various sizes (e.g. number of gallons, height, circumference), but tank water heaters 100 are generally cylindrical in shape (See FIG. 1A) and include some dimensions that are standardized by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).

[0018]FIG. 1B generally illustrates a composition of a top portion 102 of a water heater 100. The top portion 102 of the water heater 100 may be generally circular in shape and generally include a cold water inlet port 104 and a hot water outlet port 106. Gas water heaters may further include an exhaust vent pipe 108 (FIG. 1B). El...

Abstract

A water heater handle may comprise a connecting portion, a first pipe nut connected to the connecting portion on a first end of the connecting portion and configured for attachment to a first water tank piping connection, and a second pipe nut connected to the connecting portion on a second end of the connecting portion and configured for attachment to a second water tank piping connection.

Description

FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to water tanks, and more specifically, to equipment for assistance in manually lifting and moving water tanks.BACKGROUND[0002]Water heater tanks can be extremely heavy and difficult to lift and move. Water heater tanks become especially heavy if calcium and other sediments have accumulated at the bottom of the tank over the course of many years of use. Also, the circumference of water heater tanks is usually larger than the wingspan of the average human (e.g. 62-69″). Therefore, lifting and moving a water heater tank can be very difficult or awkward.[0003]It would be advantageous to provide a better and more convenient system and method to manually lift and move water heater tanks.BRIEF SUMMARY[0004]The disclosed embodiments relates to a handle for assisting in manually lifting and moving a water tank. The handle may comprise a connecting portion, a first pipe nut connected to the connecting portion on a first end of the connecting portion an...
