Title: Device for accommodating ready-to-install domestic water connection stations

The invention relates to a device for accommodating ready-to-assemble domestic water connection stations in order to limit the assembly effort and the subsequent work on the construction site to a minimum.

At the moment, the components for creating domestic water connection stations, such as water meter brackets, dirt filters, pressure reducers, safety, non-return and shut-off valves, and possibly water treatment systems, are offered by different or the same manufacturers, mostly through specialist wholesalers. The installer then buys the components according to the given requirements and assembles them directly on the relevant construction site. These domestic water connection stations usually differ in the number of water outlets required, as cold water pipes, garden and boiler supply lines are connected from the distributor to the tap via separate shut-off devices. Up to now, these individual components have been put together on the construction site to form a complete assembly, i.e. individual fastening devices have to be installed, the required pipe sections are machined individually, and then the individual components are assembled and attached to the wall. This initially involves a relatively large amount of organizational effort on the part of the material planning department, as this requires larger material extract lists. The order is then placed, whereby there is a risk that errors will creep in during this workflow, in which several people are involved from the order to the delivery, which then leads to delays during assembly on site, which also means more time is required. In most cases,

These assemblies, made from individual parts, are mounted on the unplastered wall, as the plasterer begins work after the shell has been installed. This results in a considerable additional workload for the plasterer, as the subsequent plastering behind distribution stations is very difficult and time-consuming, and if the components are not adequately protected, they become dirty, so that cleaning or protecting them requires additional work.

The invention is based on the task of manufacturing the domestic water connection stations under economical conditions in order to reduce costs on the one hand and to keep the assembly effort on the construction site as low as possible on the other hand, whereby the prefabricated connection stations and their installation can also be carried out by semi-skilled workers.

The invention enables the commercial organizational effort to be reduced to a minimum, since the complete domestic water connection stations usually only differ in the number of distributor outlets, so that this fact must be taken into account when ordering and the effort is kept to a minimum. Since only complete distributor stations are delivered, schedules can be adhered to precisely, which is not always the case with conventional installation due to incorrect deliveries and incorrect orders. If these components are delivered to the construction site on the day of assembly, incorrect deliveries or material backlogs can lead to complications, which are characterized by increased time expenditure and delays. With a complete assembly unit, the increasing shortage of skilled workers is counteracted, since the assembly

This complete unit is relatively simple and can therefore be carried out by less qualified personnel, which means that labor costs can be saved. If this assembly unit is installed in an unplastered room and the assembly is held in a closed unit, the plasterer's work is made easier, so that this labor cost can be included in the assembly cost and profitability is thus increased. Since the quality of series production meets high standards, the positive result is an improvement in the company's image.

Advantageous embodiments of the invention are specified in claims 2-15.

The design according to claim 2 advantageously has a continuous surface, so that after the installation of the domestic water connection station, no heavy soiling occurs in the area of the connection station during any plastering work that may still be required. The lateral bend is approximately the same size as the plaster thickness, so that the plasterer is given a lateral plaster stop, which makes his work easier during subsequent work. A continuous device also eliminates the time-consuming plastering work between the fittings, which advantageously saves working time.

The design according to claim 3 contains a rail system arranged parallel to the base plate in the center, which is held to the base plate by means of a screw connection. This enables flexible movement of the fastening system, so that for different house

Water connection variants that can be individually adapted to the given requirements.

The further development according to claim 4 has the plaster thickness to be applied subsequently in its angle, so that the plasterer applies his plaster flush with the front edge of the panel and thus advantageously achieves a flush finish, so that no additional devices have to be installed from this side.

The design according to claims 5-7 enables a rational mounting of the base plate on the relevant wall surface, whereby in claim 7, tabs are advantageously provided in order to avoid any cavities that may occur in the masonry.

The features identified in claim 8 offer a cost-effective fastening surface, since these are already taken into account in production and can therefore be processed without great additional effort when the house connection is used uniformly. Since the hole provided for the pipe fastening consists of an elongated hole, any inaccuracies that may occur can be corrected via the elongated hole.

The compensation part for the ceiling, as characterized in claim 9, enables a complete closure up to the top, since in most cases the pipe installation runs in this area and thus relieves the plasterer of the subsequent, time-consuming plastering work to the extent that the side part serves as a plaster stop and the pipework is thus largely protected from dirt and the associated cleaning work. The compensation part is slightly larger in size than the base plate, so that these can be pushed into one another and

are then fastened to the wall in the upper area by means of screws, and connected in the overlapping panel parts by means of rivets or self-tapping screws, as described in claim 1Q).

The fastening systems mentioned in claims 11 and 12, compensating part to the ceiling, mirrors that of the base plate.

The rail system mentioned in claims 13-15 is more cost-effective in its design than the system used throughout, but is only suitable for finished wall surfaces, since subsequently applying plaster would only be possible with great effort, while the covering and subsequent cleaning work would be very time-consuming. The rail system used simultaneously serves as a support for the complete house connection assembly unit, and it can also serve as a holder for the fastening system.

An embodiment of the invention is shown in Figures 1 - 5. They show: ¹

Figure 1 shows the device of the base plate (1) in front view, on which the base plate fastening (2) is provided by means of through holes and is held to the installation wall by means of screws. (3) designates the irrigation system, which in the fully assembled state is held on the base plate (1) by means of pipe fastening (9) via the rail system (8). (4) designates the drainage channel, which is held on the base plate (1) with a through screw connection and serves to collect waste water from the safety fitting (5) and its overflow line (6), whereby the waste water connection piece (15) is provided for the waste water side house connection.

In Figure 2, (10) indicates the compensation part for the ceiling, on which the rail system (8) is held to accommodate the pipe fastening (9), whereby the movable part (12) above the upper part of the base plate (1) up to the rail system (8) can be flexibly adjusted and thus provides height compensation. Point 2 shows the fastening device, which is mounted to the wall using screws.

Figure 3 shows the base plate (1) in side view, whereby the pipe fastening (9) is held on both sides via through holes on the base plate (1) using lock nuts (11) and the lateral bend (7) has the required installation clearance.

Figure 4 shows the device (1) in the form of a rail system (13) which is held together at its connecting surfaces by means of screw connections (17) and has holes at these points. The arranged holes (2) are used for wall fastening using screws.

Figure 5 shows the rail system (13) in side view, from which the device in Fig. 4 is constructed. The rail system (13) is variably adjustable in all directions and can therefore be assigned to the corresponding domestic water connection type, whereby the pipe fastening (9) can be locked at any point on the rail using lock nuts (11).
