Description

Assembly unit for plumbing installations The invention relates a factory-made assembly unit for plumbing installations to which several sanitary facilities such as shower, bathtub or hand wash basin at the same time in various possible combinations or optionally one or the other Part can be connected individually to the hot water pipes, It is general Common to the facilities in sanitary rooms such as bathtubs, showers, hand basins and others to install in such a way that the hot water pipes in the Walls and the sewage pipe in the floor or in the walls up to the taps or drainage points and laid at the exit points of the lines respectively the connection with the relevant sanitary facilities in manual work manufactures.

This means a considerable amount when building the sanitary rooms Manual labor. Since the pipelines are to be laid under plaster, corresponding recesses must already be created during the shell construction or - if this is the case not possible because of the use of uniform shaped bricks - retrospectively carved out of the walls. In older brick buildings, this is very labor-intensive and therefore correspondingly expensive. Such ducts can be found in half-timbered walls no longer attach.

In addition, however, the installation of the sanitary facilities also requires In particular, fitting the line connections requires a lot of manual work Work, especially if there are several sanitary facilities in one room, e.g. Legs Bathtub and a shower cubicle or a hand basin and a shower cubicle should be installed, inevitably in the usual way of instalation the pipe connections for each facility in a different location on the wall or step out of the floor.

The invention is therefore based on the object of a factory-wise economical To create a manufacturable component, through which the very expensive craft work a minimum is to be restricted. This applies to both the preparatory work during the shell construction, as well as the installation of the facilities themselves. In addition should be made possible, also in Old buildings as well as in so-called Prefabricated housing nacilträglici sanitary equipment to install without removing the walls @@@ having to lay the cables to the connection points.

The object set is achieved according to the invention by a structural unit, the main feature of which is that they are used as an installation wall element end with at least one deconative or decorable one, including a wall cavity Wall surface consists of sheet metal or the like plate-shaped material, wherein in the wall surface or surfaces the tap and drain fittings for one or more sanitary facilities facilities such as bathtub, shower, wash hand basin and others are provided and in the wall cavity behind it on the back of the wall surfaces the water supply lines and sewer pipes are arranged for the tap and drain fittings.

Expediently, those are arranged on the back of the wall surfaces Pipelines each with the connections for various sanitary facilities equipped, to which optionally the fittings of the respective desired sanitary facilities are connectable.

At least one assembly opening is expediently in the wall surface or one of the two wall surfaces arranged through a removable wall cutout or a door is locked.

Another technical improvement of the invention consists in that the wall element has the height of a shower cubicle and is designed as part of such and with devices for attaching a curtain, a door or another Cabin wall is provided.

In the following, the invention is illustrated by way of example Drawing explained in more detail.

Fig. 1 shows a schematic representation of a side view of a bathtub and an attached shower cubicle, which are jointly connected to an inventive Installation - Wande lement are connected, the latter in a vertical Section is shown.

In Fig. 2, the installation wall according to FIG. 1 is in a view shown from the shower with the mounting opening open.

The installation wall element 1 according to the invention consists of two Outer layers la, lb, which leave a cavity lc between them and made of sheet steel are shaped. On one side of the installation wall element 1 is a bathtub 2 and on the other side a shower 3 arranged.

In the cavity le are the pipes for hot water 4 and cold water 5 arranged. From each of these pipelines there is a branch to the outlet 6 and a hand shower 7 above the bathtub 2 and after that in the shower cubicle 3 shower 8 fixed at the top and one also in the shower cubicle 3 provided hand shower 9.

Above the shower tray 3a is lb in the wall surface facing it of the installation wall element 1 provided a mounting opening lo through which the Connections 11, 12 to the domestic water pipes 4, 5 are accessible. This assembly opening lo is closed by a removable wall section.

Also the sewer lines 13 from the bathtub 2 and 14 from the shower tray 3a are in this embodiment with their connections in the installation wall element 1 arranged. All lines come close to one another from the floor 15 of the sanitary room out. At this point, the installation wall element 1 is placed and with its pipelines connected to the corresponding inlets and outlets. Through this the installation of the taps for the bathtub and the shower becomes quite significant simplified.

The installation wall element 1 also forms a wall of the Shower cubicle 3, which is separated by a further wall 3b, a curtain 3c and a wall of the Sanitary room is completed.

The application of the inventive concept is not to that described here Embodiment limited. Instead of the shower cubicle 3, for example a hand basin at the foot of the bathtub on the installation wall element 1 be arranged. Conversely, a shower 3 instead of the bathtub 2 a hand basin can be combined.

This relates to embodiments, the inventive Wall element as a free-standing wall part with two external surfaces visible in the sanitary room is trained.

The wall element can also be designed so that there is only one has visible wall surface. Any number of such wall elements can be placed side by side be arranged so that they together form a complete wall covering of the sanitary room form. It can be a row arrangement of similar sanitary ware facilities such as hand wash basins, showers, toilets or other things the combination of several such sanitary facilities on one wall of the sanitary room.

The wall elements can be adapted to the floor height of the room be. But you can also to the amount corresponding to the purpose - z. B. for shower stalls - be limited so that above them there is a free space up to the ceiling of the room remains.

A technical perfection of the original assembly unit is that they are a waterproof facility for installing lamps owns.
