Abstract

A plaster guard for a wall mounted faucet valve assembly. The plaster guard includes a body having a central opening configured to receive the valve assembly, and a coupler configured to couple the body to the valve assembly.

Claims (23)

1. A plaster guard for a wall mounted faucet valve assembly, the plaster guard comprising:
a body including base having a central opening configured to receive a valve assembly having a longitudinal axis, and a flange supported by the base and positioned in spaced relation to the central opening, the flange extending in a direction substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis and having a substantially rectangular cross-section in a plane transverse to the longitudinal axis which surrounds the central opening; and a coupler supported by the body and configured to couple the body to the valve assembly.
2. The plaster guard of claim 1, wherein:
the valve assembly includes a valve housing and a mounting bracket coupled to the valve housing; and the coupler includes a plurality of retaining arms supported by the body and biased to releasably couple to the bracket.
3. The plaster guard of claim 1, wherein the flange of the body has a square cross-section in a plane transverse to the longitudinal axis.
4. The plaster guard of claim 3, wherein:
the flange of the body includes a first pair of parallel walls, and a second pair of parallel walls, the first pair of parallel walls being connected to, and disposed perpendicular to, the second pair of parallel walls; and the first pair of parallel walls and the second pair of parallel walls being configured to provide an opening within a wall for receiving the valve assembly, the opening being of substantially the same size as a conventional wall tile.
5. The plaster guard of claim 4, wherein the first pair of parallel walls and the second pair of parallel walls, each of the walls having a length substantially equal to four inches.
6. The plaster guard of claim 1, further comprising a cover supported by and frictionally engaging the valve assembly, the cover being positioned in spaced relation to the body.
7. The plaster guard of claim 6, wherein the cover is configured to operably couple with a test cap sealingly received within the valve housing.
8. A plaster guard for a wall mounted faucet valve assembly, the plaster guard comprising:
a body including a central opening configured to receive a valve assembly, and a flange positioned in spaced relation to the central opening, the flange including a first pair of parallel walls and a second pair of parallel walls, the first pair of parallel walls being connected to and disposed perpendicular to the second pair of parallel walls; and a coupler supported by the body and configured to couple the body to the valve assembly.
9. The plaster guard of claim 8, wherein:
the valve assembly includes a valve housing and a mounting bracket coupled to the valve housing; and the coupler includes a plurality of retaining arms supported by the body and biased to releasably couple to the bracket.
10. The plaster guard of claim 9, wherein the first pair of parallel walls and the second pair of parallel walls are configured to provide a rectangular opening within a wall for receiving the valve assembly, the opening being of substantially the same size as a conventional wall tile.
11. The plaster guard of claim 8, wherein the first pair of parallel walls and the second pair of parallel walls each have a length substantially equal to four inches.
12. The plaster guard of claim 8, further comprising a cover supported by and frictionally engaging the valve assembly, the cover being positioned in spaced relation to the body.
13. The plaster guard of claim 12, wherein the cover is configured to operably couple with a test cap sealingly received within the valve housing.
14. A plaster guard for use in combination with a wall mounted faucet valve assembly, the plaster guard comprising:
a body including a base having a central opening configured to'receive a valve assembly, and a flange extending outwardly from the base; and a cover concentrically received over the valve assembly, the cover being uncoupled from the body and fully supported by the valve assembly.
15. The plaster guard of claim 14, wherein the valve assembly includes a bonnet and a housing configured to threadably receive the bonnet, the inner surface of the cover being in frictional engagement with the bonnet.
16. The plaster guard of claim 14, wherein the cover includes a plurality of radially inwardly extending engagement members configured to frictionally engage the valve assembly.
17. The plaster guard of claim 14, wherein the cover is configured to operably couple with a test cap sealingly received within the valve housing.
18. The plaster guard of claim 14, further comprising a coupler configured to releasably couple the body to the valve assembly.
19. The plaster guard of claim 14, wherein the body includes a rectangular flange configured to provide an opening within a wall receiving the valve assembly.
20. A valve mounting assembly comprising:
a valve housing;
a mounting bracket coupled to the valve housing and configured to couple the valve housing to a wall support;
a plaster guard including an opening configured to receive the valve housing; and a coupler supported by the plaster guard and configured to releasably couple the plaster guard to the mounting bracket.
21. The valve mounting assembly of claim 20, wherein the coupler includes a plurality of resilient arms, each arm including a catch configured to releasably engage the mounting bracket.
22. The valve mounting assembly of claim 20, further comprising a cover supported by and frictionally engaging the valve assembly, the cover being positioned in spaced relation to the body.
