A gooseneck (or goose
neck) is a 180° pipe fitting at the top of a
vertical pipe that prevents entry of water. Common implementations of
goosenecks are ventilator piping or ducting for bathroom and kitchen
exhaust fans, ship holds, landfillmethane vent pipes, or any
other piping implementation exposed to the weather where water ingress would be
undesired. It is so named because the word comes from the similarity of the
pipe fitting to the bend in a goose's neck.
Gooseneck may also refer to a
style of kitchen or bathroom faucet with a long vertical pipe terminating in a
180° bend. To avoid hydrocarbon
accumulation, a thermosiphon should be installed at the low point of
the gooseneck
