Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a mount for sanitary pipe fittings, mixing fittings, or mixer taps. More specifically, the present invention relates to a mount for mounting a pipe fitting on a surface of the type where the mount is incorporated in a building structure such as a wall, and the pipe fitting is located on an external side of the building structure.
  • mounts of the above mentioned kind are known in the art.
  • mounts are build into a building structure such as a wall, by forming a hole in the building structure and anchoring the mount within the building structure, e.g. to beams hidden within the building structure, or by immuring the mount.
  • the mount serves the dual purposes securing the pipe fittings, mixing fittings, or mixer taps in a desired position on the building structure, and connecting the pipe fittings, mixing fittings, or mixer taps to a piping hidden in the building structure, such as hot and cold water piping.
  • a type of mount known in the art is a so-called coupling constituted by a small plastic box, having a side opening to one side of box intended to face the external side of the building structure and part intended to be concealed within the building structure.
  • the latter has means, e.g. an internally threaded connecting piece, for connecting the coupling to the piping extending hidden within the building structure to the hole made in the building structure.
  • the former has means, e.g. an externally threaded connecting piece, for connecting the coupling to the pipe fitting, mixing fitting, or mixer tap, the connecting piece extending towards the opening in the box.
  • two such coupling may be joined parallely by an interconnecting flange.
  • Such types of couplings are typically anchored by screwing or nailing the coupling to a beam or post or to masonry of the building structure. Subsequently the hole including the coupling is filled with mortar or cement, to level the hole with the surface of the building structure, such that the connecting piece(s) emerges from the surface to allow for mounting of the pipe fitting, mixing fitting, or mixer tap.
  • the surface surrounding the embedded coupling may then be covered by a water impenetrable barrier, such as a rubber mass coating, to prevent moisture from entering into the building structure via the thus provided pipe connection.
  • a water impenetrable barrier such as a rubber mass coating
  • the building structure is e.g. a wall of a sanitary room/wet-room
  • the wall may be covered with tiles.
  • a sanitary mount being connectable to a holed elongate piece of metal, the piece of metal being pent to anchor the sanitary mount in a hole of a wall. Subsequent to anchoring the mount in the hole formed in the wall, the hole must be filled with a mortar or cement in order to provide a planar surface on which to form a moisture barrier and/or e.g. a tile wall cover.
  • Another disadvantage is that is difficult to make a watertight connection around the connection pieces exiting the wall. Therefore, during use, water may pass, along the connection pieces and into the wall structure. Also, there is a risk that the connection on the back side of the mount to the water piping is not made properly, such that it may leek, which of course is a problem when the mount has been embedded in cement. Such leaks are common, and lead to moisture related problems such as miscolouring of the wall structure, and fungus formation.
  • a further disadvantage of the prior art mounts is that once the mount is in place (mounted) and the cement has dried it takes considerable, and destructive effort to access the piping hidden in the wall structure, thus making it difficult to make repairs to the piping and connections, and even to change a mixer, connected on the outside of the mount and wall. After some time such a mixer or other external piping, tubing and the connection pieces will corrode a little and be very difficult to separate. The separation will often take a considerable amount of strength from the craftsman, and the procedure often forms damages to the cement structure, moisture barrier etc. thereby increasing the risk of leaks.
  • a mount for mounting a sanitary pipe fitting, mixing fitting, or mixer tap on an external side of a surface of a building structure the mount being anchorable to the building structure, said mount comprising a plate-shaped element defining a plane and having a perimeter; a first connecting piece extending from a first side of said plate-shaped element, said first connecting piece being connectable to a sanitary pipe fitting, mixing fitting, or mixer tap; a second connection means formed on a second side of said plate-shaped element opposite said first side, said second connection piece being adapted for connecting to a water carrying piping;and first anchoring means formed on or in said plate-shaped element for anchoring said mount to elements of the building structure, wherein said first connection piece nd said second connection means communicate through said plate-shaped element and wherein said plate-shaped element is adapted for stably supporting cover elements such as tiles on said first side of the mount.
  • a mount according to the invention may comprise a plate-shaped element designated by the reference number 10.
  • the plate-shaped element 10 defines a plane, P, and has a perimeter 11.
  • a first connecting piece 20 extends from a first side 12.
  • the first connecting piece is connectable a sanitary pipe fitting, mixing fitting, or mixer tap (not shown), e.g. as shown by an outer threading of the connecting piece, or by any other suitable means known to the person skilled in the art.
  • a 3 ⁇ 4" connecting piece is used for mounting such sanitary pipe fitting, mixing fitting, or mixer tap. Consequently, the connecting piece may be a threaded 3 ⁇ 4" connecting piece.
  • the connecting piece may have other dimensions e.g. 1 ⁇ 2" or other.
  • a second connection means 30 is formed in a second side 13 opposite said first side 12, such that it extends from the second side 13, e.g - and as shown, in the form of a connecting piece.
  • the second connection means 30 is adapted for connecting to a water carrying piping (not shown), e.g. by an outer threading. Often a 1 ⁇ 2" connecting piece is used for mounting such sanitary water carrying piping, but other dimensions may be applied as well.
  • the first connecting piece 20 and the second connecting means 30 are of the same dimension, e.g. 1 ⁇ 2" or 3 ⁇ 4".
  • the first connecting piece 20 and the second connecting means 30 are of different dimensions, e.g. the first connecting piece 20 is 3/4" and the second connecting means 30 is 1 ⁇ 2".
  • the first connection piece 20 and the second connection means 30 communicate through said plate-shaped element 10 to allow the passage of water, or e.g. a tubing through said plate-shaped element.
  • first anchoring means (40) are formed, in the form of through going holes.
  • the holes are adapted to receive secondary anchoring means in the form of screws or spikes, nails.
  • the mount is intended to be secured to elements of a building structure.
  • a sanitary water connection is formed by providing a hole in, e.g. a wall, that may for instance be a brick wall or it may be wooden or metal beam structure covered by e.g. gypsum plates.
  • the mount according to the invention is fixed/secured/anchored to elements of the building structure e.g. bricks or beams accessed via the above mentioned hole, e.g. by screwing or any other manner ordinary in the art.
  • the plate-shaped element is large enough to cover the hole formed in the building structure, e.g. the wall.
  • the mount is anchored to the hole formed in the wall such that the first surface 12, or plane P is substantially flush with the plane of the building structure,/wall
  • the first side of the plate-shaped element 10 forms a stable foundation for forming a moisture barrier, and/or a wall finish such as a plaster or tiling.
  • the anchoring means may be formed as fixed structures, such as spikes extending from the back or second side 13 of the plate shaped element 10.
  • the anchoring means are preferably of a type that can be loosened from the first side 12, such as screws, in order to allow the plate shaped element to be dismounted, in order to make maintance of the water connections hidden by the mount.
  • the water piping (which is usually hidden in the building structure/wall) must be mounted to the second connecting means 30 prior to anchoring the plate shaped element 10 to the building structure/wall.
  • the plate In order to cover the hole formed in the building structure (which must be large enough to allow handling of the concealed water piping), and to form a stable support for moisture barrier etc., the plate must extend at least 5 cm or more from the first connection piece, such as 6, 7, 10, 15 or 20 cm from the first connection piece.
  • the plate shaped element may be square, rectangular, round or irregularly shaped.
  • the plate shaped element may not necessarily form a closed plane, but may have openings, e.g. a perforation, provided that the openings are small enough, e-g. below 2 cm, in order to provide a stable foundation for e.g. tiles or other.
  • the second connecting means 30 may simply be a hole formed in the plate shaped element 10.
  • a flexible piece of tubing 60 may be led through the hole and fixed to the mount at the external side thereof.
  • the flexible tubing being a part of the water piping hidden in the wall/building structure may e.g. be a PEX tubing.
  • the flexible tubing 60 may be connected to the fisrst connection piece 20 by a cutting ring 70 and a nut 80 holding the cutting ring 70, the nut 80 having e.g. an external threading corresponding to an internal threading formed in the first connection piece 20.
  • the first connection piece may have outer threading as well, in order to allow connection to a mixer or the like.
