Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for connecting a sprinkler, in particular a sprinkler connection box, comprising a connecting piece of a metallic material, a housing having fastening means, which allow positioning and fastening on a surface, a sealing plug, which allows the leak test and a transition piece and a method of mounting it in a ceiling.
  • the DE 10 2009 041 415 A1 discloses a method and apparatus in which bell-shaped parts are screwed to the respective pipe ends during installation of the sprinkler system by means of centering pieces.
  • the bell-shaped parts can be additionally positioned by nails.
  • a disadvantage of this system is the high assembly and disassembly effort, since each bell-shaped part mounted by means of a centering piece, as well as after the shuttering panel has been removed, must be dismantled. Furthermore, this system has a separate seal, which on the one hand leads to additional costs and on the other hand to possible assembly errors in forget to install seal.
  • connection height is not variable, since this is fixed by the can height as well as the fitting and the connection part.
  • the DE 20 2009 004 938 U1 discloses a mounting kit for connecting a sprinkler.
  • This mounting kit includes a hollow cylinder cap which is to be mounted on the shuttering panel by means of fasteners. Subsequently, the sleeve is fastened by means of the screw on the connector, to which an elbow, which allows the connection to the pipe, is plugged. Which takes a lot of time during the installation. Then the assembled unit can be slipped over the cap.
  • a disadvantage of this system is that the plugged units are not fixed against the top. So you can fall at any time due to carelessness of the mechanic from the leadership of the cap.
  • the caps must be removed from the formwork panel.
  • a sprinkler connection box is fixed by fastening means, preferably nails, on a surface, preferably a shuttering panel. Then the leak test is carried out, then the sprinkler connection box is poured in, the surface is removed after curing, the fasteners are pulled out and the plug is replaced by the sprinkler.
  • the fitting is made of brass or gunmetal.
  • the connector is also secured against rotation in the housing, so that the connector does not rotate during the removal of the plug or the screwing of the sprinkler in the housing or the sprinkler line by torsional forces loaded.
  • the rotation is achieved by a hexagon arranged on the connector, but other anti-rotation or twist-proof geometries are conceivable.
  • the plug for leak testing is already installed in the sprinkler connection box, which saves the installer additional work steps such as sealing and screwing in the plug.
  • the plug has a phase or slope, which is sealed in the screwed state with the slope in the connector, thereby no separate sealing elements such as O-rings, gaskets or hemp needed.
  • the plug is made of plastic, preferably one of the plastics: PA6, PA66, GF30, PE, PA or POM.
  • the transition piece which is fixed to the connector, is variably cut to length, which has the advantage that the connection height can be adapted individually to the line system. For this purpose, the transition piece must be cut to length only in the appropriate length.
  • a connection to the fitting which connects the sprinkler line with the transition piece, a welded connection is provided, which makes the connection of the transition piece to the line system very easy.
  • the housing of the sprinkler connection box is made of plastic, preferably made of PE, or other polyolefins such as PP or PB.
  • the housing will not be removed from the concrete ceiling after pouring the sprinkler connection box.
  • the advantage of maintaining the housing on the molded sprinkler connection box, apart from the disassembly effort, is that the housing forms a watertight plastic insulation between concrete casing and the metallic components that are prone to stress corrosion cracking.
  • the outer geometry of the housing is protected against rotation that when loosening or tightening the screw, not the complete housing with integrated connector in the concrete ceiling rotates.
  • the outer geometry is a stepped polygon, which goes in the direction of sprinkler connection in a circular geometry.
  • the housing is also a polygon, which is suitable for receiving the rotation of the connector.
  • This means that the rotation is preferably a hexagon on the connector in the polygon of the housing.
  • the hexagon on the connection piece is pressed into the housing.
  • the sprinkler connection box is fixed on a surface, so that it is no longer displaceable in any direction.
  • the invention is additionally characterized by the fact that different sizes of sprinklers can be installed in the connection piece.
  • sprinklers with both a smaller and a larger thread can be screwed into the fitting, preferably 1 "or 1 ⁇ 2" threads.
  • This is achieved by screwing an adapter piece into the thread on the connector, which has, for example, a 1 "male thread and a 1 ⁇ 2" female thread.
  • the outer diameter seal preferably an O-ring, the tightness of the adapter piece is guaranteed.
  • the screwing of the adapter piece to stop a predetermined or firmly defined installation height, unlike a hinged threaded connection, guaranteed.
  • the hinged threaded connections are not to be mounted on stop, since the sealing element such as hemp applies differently and thus can not be determined exactly in which position the thread to be screwed is screwed deep enough into it until it seals optimally.
  • the O-ring seal unlike a hinged threaded connection, reduces the risk of stress corrosion cracking because in the thread flanks no additionally squeezed sealing element in the form of hemp and thus no additional tension forces can act.
  • Fig. 1 shows a sprinkler connection box 1 as supplied by an installer pre-assembled. Ready assembled for installation in a ceiling.
  • the installer must hammer the sprinkler connection box 1 only by means of fastening means 4, preferably nails, on the shuttering plate, whereby the sprinkler connection box 1 is firmly positioned in all directions. Subsequently, he must connect the transition piece 6 to the sprinkler line 23, which is possible by a welded connection.
  • a large number of sprinkler connection boxes 1 are connected to a sprinkler line system, so that a simple installation saves a lot of assembly time.
  • the tightness test can be carried out directly in order to test the system for leaks.
  • the sprinkler connection box 1 has a connection piece 2, which is preferably made of brass or gunmetal.
  • the transition piece 6 is provided with a welded connection, which in Fig. 6 shown adapted to a fitting of the sprinkler line 23.
  • the advantage of this transition piece 6 is that to a bare tube, preferably made of plastic, can be used to which the connector 2 is attached.
  • the transition piece 6, in that it is a plastic pipe is simply separated to the length required for the installation or the connection.
  • the sprinkler connection box 1 also has a housing 3, preferably made of plastic, which is pushed or pressed over the connecting piece 2 and the transition piece 6 or can be attached by encapsulation.
  • the housing 3 is used for insulation against condensation or moisture between concrete or the concrete floor and the metallic connection parts such as fittings 2, adapter piece 16 or the sprinkler 18. Thus, the stress corrosion cracking can be greatly reduced in these parts.
  • fastening means 4 in the illustrated embodiment four nails are provided for this purpose.
  • other fastening means are conceivable as well as a different number of possible.
  • the fastening means 4 are arranged in the housing 3 such that they can not fall out of the housing 3 prior to assembly of the sprinkler connection box 1, which means that they are easily pre-mounted in a clamped and self-retaining manner in the housing 3, but in such a way that it contributes to hammering in assembly does not constitute a hindrance.
  • Fig. 2 the sprinkler box 1 is shown in an exploded view. It can be seen that the housing 3 for simplified end positioning of the seal 12, which is arranged on the transition piece 6 above the clamp 15, as an installation aid inside axially extending recesses 14 has.
  • the arranged on the outer diameter of the transition piece 6 O-ring 12 serves to ensure that no water from the direction of the Kochgans Cultures 6 in the Sprinkler connection box 1 penetrates.
  • the O-ring or the seal 12 is in the preassembled state above the recesses 14.
  • the connector 2 As anti-rotation and centering and fixing of the connector 2 to co-rotation or damage due to torsional forces of the sprinkler line 23 when screwing in and unscrewing the plug 5 or to avoid the sprinkler 18, the connector 2 has a hexagon 11 which is received in the polygon 13 of the housing 3.
  • a stepped transition of the polygon 13 on the recess 14 in the form of a phase or slope 21, serves as a stop of the connector 2 to the phase or slope 20.
  • the predetermined distance from the lower edge of the ceiling 22 and the determinable distance to the sprinkler line 23 complied with and always falls out the same constant while cutting the transition piece 6.
  • the plug 5 serves to seal during the leak test. In addition, this provides protection against dirt and thread damage on the job site.
  • the plug 5 which is preferably made of plastic, is screwed into the connecting piece 2 via the external thread 7. Since the phase 9 of the plug 5 sealingly abuts the bevel 10 on the inside of the connector 2, can be dispensed with an additional sealing element such as hemp or an O-ring as well as a flat gasket.
  • the housing 3 has an outer geometry of a polygon, which is stepped to arrange the fastening means 4 at the corners and merges in the direction of the sprinkler connection in a circular shape.
  • the external geometry of the housing 3 may also have a different shape, it is important that the shape is against rotation to prevent turning of the complete sprinkler connection box 1 during the screwing in and out of the plug 5 and the sprinkler 18 in the concrete or concrete ceiling.
  • the housing 3 remains in the concrete ceiling, which in addition to the already mentioned advantages of insulation also brings with it the advantage that no additional disassembly effort arises.
  • the shuttering panel can be removed and further only the fastening means 4 must be pulled out of the ceiling.
  • the nails can be easily pulled with the help of a pair of pliers through the housing 3 from the ceiling. By removing the nails from the ceiling, the formation of corrosion can be avoided become.
  • the fasteners remain in the ceiling and the fasteners are not made of a corrosion-resistant material they begin to rust after a certain period of time and form visible spots on the ceiling.
  • remaining fasteners must be removed flush with the ceiling which is a complex process and thus causes additional costs.
  • Fig. 4 an embodiment of a sprinkler connection box 1 is shown, which is suitable for sprinklers 18 with 1 ⁇ 2 "as well as 1" connection threads.
  • An adapter piece 16, which has a 1 "external thread, is screwed into the connecting piece 2.
  • the plug 5, which has a 1 ⁇ 2" external thread, is arranged in the adapter piece 16.
  • the plug 5 and the adapter piece 16 also have the sealing phases or bevels 9, 10, which ensure the tightness when performing the leak test.
  • the adapter piece 16 has a seal 17 which is arranged on the outer diameter, preferably an O-ring seal is used for this purpose.
  • connection height is variable, but a minimum installation height is given due to the SprinkleranQuerybox 1, which ensures that the sprinkler line does not fall below a minimum distance from the lower edge of the ceiling and thus there is no risk that, for example, a fastening of a lamp By mistake a pipe is affected.
  • FIG. 5 The embodiment of the sprinkler connection box 1 with a built-in adapter piece 16 is in Fig. 5 shown again explosively.
  • Fig. 6 a sprinkler connection box 1 is shown, which has been cast in and the plug 5 has already been replaced by the sprinkler 18
