Definitions

  • This invention relates to the installation of conduit in buildings, an example being the plumbing required for central heating.
  • the present invention consists in one aspect in a method of installing conduit in a building, wherein the conduit is laid on top of the flooring and adjacent a wall, floor covering fitting means being provided adjacent the conduit to enable fitting of floor covering in a manner so as substantially to conceal the conduit.
  • the conduit comprises pipe of rectangular cross section which is laid flat on the flooring.
  • the floor covering fitting means comprises teeth adapted to grip carpet fitted over the conduit.
  • the present invention consists in conduit means comprising a channel of generally rectangular uniform cross-section having therein two parallel conduits and adapted to be laid flat on flooring adjacent a wall; and floor covering fitting means provided along the length of the channel to enable fitting of floor covering in a manner as substantially to conceal the channel.
  • a channel 1 formed preferably of aluminium, the channel comprises a top plate 2, side portions 3 and 4 and, connected to side portion 4, a mounting portion 5 which is provided at intervals with screw holes.
  • the top plate 2 is formed by, for example, stamping with a series of teeth 6.
  • Within the channel 2 there are provided two lengths of rectangular pipe 7, this pipe being outwardly dimensioned as a complementary fit within the channel 2.
  • the manner in which the described conduit means is used can best be described with reference to Figure 4.
  • the two lengths of rectangular pipe 7, being respectively the flow and return lines of a central heating system are laid on the floor adjacent the skirting board 8.
  • the channel 2 is then positioned over the pipe and nailed or screwed to the floor so holding the pipe in position.
  • a connector 9 (shown also in Figure 8) is used to connect the rectangular pipe to conventional round pipe 10 leading to a conventional radiator shown generally at 11.
  • carpet is fitted in the room using the channel 1 in place of the usual carpet gripping strip.
  • the carpet underlay extends only to the inner edge of the channel land the carpet itself is stretched over the top plate 1 so as to be gripped by the upstanding teeth 6.
  • the vertical height of the channel 1 is of the same order as the height of strip normally used to grip carpet and once carpet has been fitted the pipe work fitted according to the invention is substantially concealed.
  • conduit means shown in either Figures 2 or Figure 3 in place of the Figure 1 embodiment.
  • the arrangement shown in Figure 2 may be used where the carpet does not extend fully up to the wall and the arrangement in Figure 3 is useful where pipe work is required to cross a doorway.
  • the conduit means shown in Figure 3 is in fact used in place of conventional doorway carpet fitting strips and differs only from such conventional strips in that it has a hollow interior through which pipes 7 can extend.
  • FIG. 7 shows a female elbow joint
  • Figure 7 shows a female connector
  • Figure 10 shows a male T-piece.
  • joints such as that shown in Figure 6 can be employed.
  • a joint such as that shown in Figure 8 or a compression joint such as that shown in Figure 9.
  • Figure 11 illustrates a T-joint enabling one run of pipe to intersect another.
  • the joints illustrated in the drawings and described briefly above can be formed of copper and connected to the copper pipe with conventional techniques. Alternatively it is possible to employ plastics pipe work and joints with, for example, solvent welding techniques.
  • An alternative embodiment of conduit means according to this invention particularly suited to the use of plastics material is shown in Figure 12.
  • the channel 20 is formed as an extrusion of plastics material and includes two parallel conduits 21 separated by a mounting portion 22 through which extend screw holes 23.
  • a top plate 24, preferably formed of metal, is placed over the channel 20 before screws are passed through the holes 23 securing the assembly to the floor.
  • the plate 24 is formed with teeth 25 and carpet is fitted over the installed conduit as described above.
  • a method for installing the vertical pipe work which is usually necessary to complete the central heating system in a house.
  • the vertical lengths of conduit are directed, so far as possible, adjacent either a wall or a door.
  • Conduit such as that shown in Figure 13 is employed and is mounted in place of portions of the existing architrave.
  • the moulding shown in Figure 13 may be a plastics extrusion and inserts may be provided to cover screw holes 23 once the conduit has been screwed in place.
  • the described methods according to the present invention have numerous advantages. There is no necessity for floorboards to be lifted and the method can indeed be employed with the solid floors. There is little or no structural damage to the building and the method is generally more convenient for both the installer and the user. Since the pipes are disposed above the floor all available heat is directed into the rooms and there is no necessity for insulation of pipes. The method is ideally suited for DIY as should lead to cheap installation costs as compared with conventional underfloor installations.
  • carpet fitting means other than the described toothed strip could be used and -suitable configurations will be obvious to those skilled in the art of fitting carpets.
  • the invention is also applicable to floor coverings other than carpet, such as for example vinyl floor covering. It should also be understood that although this invention has been described using the example of central heating, it is applicable to conduits of all kinds including gas pipes, air lines, water supply pipes and conduits intended to house electrical wiring.
