Abstract
An improved combination suction elbow assembly and light assembly for use in conjunction with whirlpool bath systems, wherein the embodiment of the invention shown herein is uniquely configured to provide a light assembly which may be readily removed from the inside of the bathtub for replacement of the bulb. The light assembly of the present invention is configured behind a removable deflector with a light transmissive angled surface. The deflector's angled surface minimizes the effect of the light assembly on flow through the suction elbow. In addition, the removable deflector provides a water tight seal connection to prevent any water from reaching the light assembly. A simple tool in the form of an elongated cylinder, having a plurality of wrench pin keys is disclosed. The keys are adapted to engage wrench pins along the peripheral surface of a flange of the removable deflector to enable easy threading and unthreading of the deflector into the housing from inside the tub, without requiring any access from outside the tub.
