Kifolyócs

Kifolyócs is a Hungarian term used in engineering and plumbing contexts to refer to small outlets or drainage channels that provide a controlled path for liquids to leave a vessel or system. The word stems from kifolyó, meaning to flow out, with a suffix commonly used in technical terms to form concrete components. It is a specialized term and is not widely found in everyday language or in all dictionaries, but it appears in technical documentation, schematics, and installation manuals.

In practice, kifolyócs can take several forms. They may be simple drilled or cast outlets on a tank wall, small spouts or nozzles, or drain ports connected to piping networks. Their exact shape, size, and connection type depend on the application, including the required outflow rate, the properties of the fluid, backpressure considerations, and safety requirements. In industrial or chemical processing, multiple kifolyócs may be used to distribute drainage or to prevent pooling and overpressure within a system.

Because terminology can vary by industry and region, kifolyócs is often complemented or replaced by more general terms such as outlet, drain, or port in non-technical communication. In Hungarian technical literature, however, kifolyócs serves as a concise label for the specific components that facilitate liquid drainage within equipment and installations.
