Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a lead-through element according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the present invention is also directed to a method for leading pipes through floor structures via lead-through elements.
  • the sanitary rooms, i.e. bathrooms, lavatories or washrooms, of buildings with several floors and several apartments have water and sewage installations arranged into vertical shafts running inside structural walls, and into horizontal lines inside the floor/ceiling structures between the floors.
  • the pipes and other conducting elements for water and sewage installations are embedded within structures of stone, concrete, tile or other such building material.
  • costly and time-consuming cutting-in operations are needed to access the pipes.
  • installation assemblies or plumbing arrangement elements are intended to be installed in a vertical line in each vertically successive sanitary room of a building.
  • the installation assemblies may comprise a cassette or cabinet with at least part of the plumbing, piping, insulation and connecting points pre-installed within the cassette casing at a factory by experts, thus eliminating the need of on-site precision work and possible installation mistakes.
  • the installation assembly may need to have correct dimensions and very tight tolerances for the variation in different dimensions to ensure a successful final on-site installation.
  • the objective of the invention is to provide an improved lead-through element for leading pipes and other conducting elements through structures.
  • the lead-through element is particularly intended to be used in connection with plumbing arrangement elements that are installed in a vertically aligned line in several sanitary rooms or units arranged on top of each other, for example in an apartment building or block of flats with several floors.
  • the present invention provides a lead-through element for leading pipes through a floor structure.
  • the lead-through element is specified in claim 1.
  • the first part is continuously connectable to a water barrier membrane of the first space.
  • the lead-through element Due to the single continuous water barrier membrane connections for each and every individual pipe led through the lead-through element, the space requirement of different pipe and pipeline arrangements may be significantly reduced. Instead of providing every pipe individual water barrier membrane continuations between the joints of each pipe and the floor structure, the lead-through element provides one effective water barrier membrane continuation between the first part and the first space, and the second part and the second space. Therefore the pipes may be installed closer to each other, reducing the space required for plumbing lines. For example, even small sanitary spaces can be renovated in line with current building codes and requirements without sacrificing space to the plumbing lines. The space requirements may be even further reduced by leading more than one pipe through one lead-through channel.
  • the pipes may comprise at least one of the following: tap water pipe, grey water pipe, hot water pipe, cold water pipe, waste water pipe, thermal pipe, or other conducting element, including electric wires and telecommunications or data communications cables.
  • a system for leading pipes through floor structures to establish a continuous vertical line of pipes between at least two vertically adjoining spaces is disclosed.
  • the system is characterized by what is specified in claim 16.
  • a method for leading pipes through floor structures via the lead-through elements, to establish a continuous vertical line of pipes between at least two vertically adjoining spaces is disclosed.
  • the method is specified in claim 18.
  • the lead-through element, the system and the method may be utilized in connection with a plumbing arrangement element.
  • the plumbing arrangement element may be prefabricated so as to improve the quality of different parts and their installation, reduce work required at the installation site, improve installation time and ease, and cause less error in installation.
  • a prefabricated plumbing arrangement element may require significantly smaller installation surface area, as the critical installation operations may be performed in the prefabrication stage.
  • these plumbing arrangement elements may require skills and precision in the on-site installation operations, for example in aligning the vertical line of pipes and other conducting elements, leading them through the floor structures between two vertically adjoining spaces, and connecting all pipelines.
  • securing the wet sealing of the spaces (floor and ceiling lead-through points, as well as the entire floor structure at the area surrounding the lead-through), and vertically aligning the water and sewage lines through all the floors of the building, may be challenging.
  • lead-through herein is meant generally the connection or joint between two separate spaces one of which is located wholly or partially above the other, the connection extending from the ceiling of the space below to the floor level of the space above, and extending through the floor structure between the two spaces.
  • pipeline and pipe herein is meant any extended conduit or conducting line, comprising several individual pieces of pipe connected to each other to form a conducting line, including but not limited to fresh water pipes, grey water pipes and sewage pipes.
  • the term pipeline may also encompass conduits such as electric wires or data/telecommunications cables.
  • the two terms pipe and pipeline may be used interchangeably throughout this disclosure.
  • water barrier membrane herein is meant a continuous water and moisture proof layer or structure of material that prohibits movement of water, liquid or moisture from a space towards the surrounding building structures (floors, walls, ceilings).
  • a water barrier membrane may typically be a layer of spreadable waterproofing material or a layer of waterproofing film, sheet or tape.
  • Figures 1a , 1b , 2a and 2b show a lead-through element 1 for leading pipes, pipelines or other conduits through horizontal building structures such as floor/ceiling structures or floor structures 180 which may be for example concrete floor slabs, disposed between two vertically adjoining spaces (toilets, washrooms, bathrooms, lavatories or other such sanitary rooms, as well as various technical spaces or basement spaces of a building).
  • the lead-through element 1 may be used for leading through pipes in connection with a plumbing arrangement element 8 (see Figures 2a and 2b ).
  • the plumbing arrangement element 8 is an installation cabinet or cassette comprising a at least side walls 81, 82, and a front panel (not shown), a top part 83, and further comprising at least partially pre-installed pipes 70 for water, waste water and heating, as well as other conduits such as electrical wires or telecommunications wires, as well as different connections for those pipes and conduits, for example connections for a plumbing fixture such as a toilet bowl or a washbasin, for a shower, or for a washing machine water inlet pipes.
  • the lead-through element 1 may be used in connection with all kinds of sanitary piping and/or plumbing pipelines, without the plumbing arrangement element 8.
  • the lead-through element 1 comprises a first part 10, intended for installation or mounting onto and into a floor 150 of a first space 801; and a second part 20, intended for installation or mounting onto and into a ceiling 170 of a second space 802, located below the first space and separated from the first space 801 by a floor structure 180.

  • At least one intermediate casing 31, 32, 33 is extended from the first part 10 to the second part 20 to form a lead-through channel 310, 320, 330 from the first space 801 to the second space 802, the lead-through channel 310, 320, 330 providing a channel through the floor structure 180 for pipes 70.
  • the intermediate casing or casings 31, 32, 33 may have a circular cross-section, as has the lead-through channel or channels 310, 320, 330.
  • the intermediate casings 31, 32, 33 have a length chosen according to the thickness of the floor structure 180 so that the casings 31, 32, 33 have a sufficient length to extend from the first part 10, disposed in the first space 801, to the second part 20, disposed in the second space 802.
  • the first part 10 comprises a rectangular face 100 comprising a first edge 100a, a second edge 100b, a third edge 100c, and a fourth edge 100d. From the first edge second, third and fourth edges 100a, 100b, 100c, 100d, corresponding side walls 101a, 101b, 101c, 101d extend downwards at a right angle (i.e. towards the floor 150 when the first part 10 is installed in place) .

  • the first plate 102 forms a collar structure around the first edge 100a, the second edge 100b and the third edge 100c of the face 100.
  • the first plate 102 comprises an upper side 102a and an underside 102b. Further, the plate 102 has a first back edge 102d.
  • the first plate 102 may have rounded corners.
  • the plate 102 extends upwards at a right angle (i.e. away from the floor 150 when the first part 10 is installed in place) to form a first flange 103 comprising a first face side 103a and first backside 103b.
  • the first flange 103 is perpendicular in relation to a plane defined by the face 100 and the plate 102.
  • the first flange 103 may have rounded corners.

  • the first plate 102 extends outwards from the face 100, again at a right angle so that the first plate 102 is aligned with the floor 150 when the first part 10 is installed in place.
  • the first plate 102 forms a collar structure around the first edge 100a and the second edge 100b of the face 100.
  • the first plate 102 comprises an upper side 102a and an underside 102b. Further, the plate 102 has a second back edge 102c. Also in this embodiment, the first plate 102 may have rounded corners.
  • the plate 102 extends upwards at a right angle (i.e. away from the floor 150 when the first part 10 is installed in place) to form a first flange 103 comprising a first face side 103a and first backside 103b.
  • the first flange 103 is perpendicular in relation to a plane defined by the face 100 and the plate 102.
  • the first flange 103 may have rounded corners.
  • the first plate 102 may also be arranged around the perimeter of the first sidewall 101a and the third sidewall 101c to form a collar structure around the first edge 100a and the third edge 100c of the face 100; and the first plate 102 may also be configured to extend upwards at a right angle at the first back edge 102d and a first front edge 102b to form a first flange 103; in order to achieve a mirror image version of the first part 10 of a lead-through element 1, to be mountable in a left-hand corner of a space 801, 802.
  • the first plate 102 has mounting holes 40 arranged into a number of locations, for example at the corners, for mounting and installing the first part 10 onto and into the floor 150 of the first space 801. Further, also the first flange 103 may have similar mounting holes arranged into a number of locations, for example at the corners, for mounting and securing the first part further onto a wall 160 of the first space 801.
  • the mounting may be executed in any suitable manner, for example by bolts, screws or pins (not shown) arranged through the mounting holes 40 and secured into the floor 150 or into counterparts arranged into the floor 150, and/or wall 160 of the room or counterparts arranged into the wall 160.
  • the mounting holes 40 may be so configured as to accommodate sunk screws, for example by counter-sinking.
  • the first part 10 When the first part 10 is mounted in place, the underside of the first plate 102 engages the floor 150, and the first backside of the first flange 103 engages the wall 160 at its backside 103b, as can be seen in Figure 2a .
  • the first part 10 is mountable onto the floor 150 of the first room 801 by engaging the underside 102b with the floor 150, and onto the wall 160 of the first room 801 by engaging the first backside 103b with the wall 160.
  • the first part may thus be mounted onto the floor 150 only, or onto both the floor 150 and the wall 160 of the first space 801, depending on what is required in a particular installation.
  • the insides of the sidewalls 81, 82 of the element 8 are brought in contact with the second sidewall 101b and the third sidewall 101c, and the front panel of the assembly 8 brought into contact with the first side wall 101a, to ensure that the plumbing arrangement element 8 ends up secured in a correct position.
  • the face 100, the edges 100a-d and the side walls 101a-d define a stand 105 for securing the plumbing arrangement element 8 in a correct position.

In other embodiments, the height H 103 of the first flange 103 may vary between 20 - 50 mm, being for example 25 mm, 35 mm, or 45 mm. The width W 102 of the first plate 102and the height H 103 may be equal. The width W 102 of the first plate 102and the height H 103 may depend on the particular installation environment on site, for example by the joining strip chosen to join the first part 10 to the water barrier membrane of the space 801.

  • the first part 10 may further comprise at least one vertical support member 50 integrally arranged or fixed onto the face 100.
  • the vertical support member 50 is intended for providing support and/or load-bearing for a plumbing fixture, for example a body of a toilet bowl or toilet seat.
  • the vertical support member 50 may, for example, comprise a spindle, a threaded rod or screwing rod, and a nut or other such stopping element with which an appropriate height for the plumbing fixture may be chosen by shifting the nut upwards or downward the rod, and which may effectively bear the weight of the plumbing fixture towards the floor 150.
  • the vertical support member 50 may also comprise an angle iron with suitable connecting members.
  • This kind of vertical support member 50 offer advantages over previous solutions, where full-wall mount structures or feet structures have been used to provide enough support for a plumbing fixture. Such prior art solutions require post-installation adjustments as a separate installation procedure. Further, as the support members 50 in the first part 10 are a part of the lead-through element 1, a water barrier treatment that forms a continuous water barrier membrane between the floor 150 and the first part 10 may provide a water barrier also for the vertical support member 50 bearing the weight of the plumbing fixture to the floor 150 without any additional water barrier treatment or structures, which may be needed with conventional support structures.

  • the dimensions of the second part 20 correspond to the dimensions of the first part 10 in any particular lead-through element 1, to form a single suitably dimensioned entirety of a lead-through element 1.
  • the second part 20 further comprises at least one circular second opening 21, 22, 23, arranged into the plate 200, from which the at least one intermediate casing 31, 32, 33 is arranged to extend upwards through the floor structure 180 towards the first room 801, all the way to the first part 10, which has a corresponding number of circular first openings 11, 12, 13, as explained earlier.
  • Each second opening 21, 22, 23 has a collar 210, 220, 230 surrounding the edge of the opening 21, 22, 23.
  • the collars 210, 220, 230 extend upwards from the ceiling-engaging side 200a of the plate 200 (i.e. towards the room above when the second part 20 is installed in place onto the ceiling 170, and either outside or inside the intermediate casing 31, 32, 32 and lead-through channel 310, 320, 330).
  • each intermediate casing 31, 32, 33 is arranged to contact the ceiling-engaging side 200a of the second part 20 so that the upwards-extending part of the collar 210, 220, 230 ends up either outside or inside the intermediate casing 31, 32, 33 and the lead-through channel 310, 320, 330.
  • the ceiling-engaging side 200b of the second plate 200 may be used to retain the intermediate parts 30, 31, 32 in place once the second part is mounted in place.
  • the height of the collar 210, 220, 230 may be for example 5 mm. In other embodiments, the height of the collar 110, 120, 130 may vary between 2 - 10 mm, being for example 6 mm, 7,5 mm or 8,5 mm. The height of the collar 210, 220, 230 may depend for example on the method of production of the first part 20, the installation room available for installing the lead-through element 1 in a space, or on country-specific building codes and regulations concerning installation of structures in wet spaces.
  • the second part 20 may further comprise at least one connector 60, which is intended for engaging a plumbing arrangement element 8.
  • the connector 60 may be a pin, a bolt, a screw or any other suitable type of connecting element that has a counterpart arranged at the top part 83 of the plumbing arrangement element 8.
  • the top part 83 of the assembly 8 is brought in contact with the second part 20, and two connectors 60, arranged at or near the outer corners of the second plate 200, are inserted into their counterpart (not shown) to ensure that the plumbing arrangement element 8 ends up aligned and secured in a correct position.
  • the second part 20 and the connectors 60 enable support for the plumbing arrangement element 8 during its installation, thereby eliminating the need for separate support structures during installation of the assembly 8.
  • the first part 10 and the second part 20 may be constructed from sheet metal, stainless steel, or plastic.
  • the two parts may be constructed for example by folding or by welding metal sheets, or by deep drawing plastic.
  • the intermediate casings 31, 32, 33 may be constructed from plastic, such as polyethylene (PE), cross-linked PE (PEX), polypropylene (PP), polycarbonate (PC), polybutylene (PB), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), from or a plastic-metal composite (e.g. a thin layer of aluminum surrounded by any suitable plastic such as PP, PE or PEX, on both sides), or from stainless steel.
  • the intermediate casings 31, 32, 33 may, for example, be suitable lengths of pipe made from one the aforementioned materials. The material may be chosen to accommodate any country-specific building codes and regulations concerning construction of wet spaces and for example fire safety.
  • the lead-through element 1 is installed or mounted into place between two vertically adjoining spaces as follows: First, a continuous vertical line is established for all the required pipelines and/or conducting elements, the vertical line extending from the bottom-most space to the top-most space in one plumbing line of a building. Between each vertically adjoining space 801, 802, a required number of initial circular lead-through holes or openings are arranged or pierced by drilling or boring through each intervening floor structure 180, the floor structure being for example a voided or a solid concrete floor or slab.
  • each circular hole may vary 1) according to the type of pipe/pipes or conducting element/elements to be led through that channel, and 2) so that the continuous vertical line, as well as the alignment of plumbing arrangement elements 8, should any be used, may be kept constant despite any possible variations in placement of the different lead-through channels.
  • the second part 20 or lower part of the lead-through element 1 is installed or mounted in place onto and into the ceiling 160 of the second space 802, i.e. the space below the floor structure 180.
  • the openings 21, 22, 23 are aligned with the initial lead-through openings arranged into the floor structure 180, and the second plate 200 is brought into contact with the ceiling 170 so that the ceiling-engaging side 200a contacts the ceiling 170.
  • the second flange 203 is similarly brought into contact with the wall 160 so that the backside 202b of the second flange 203 engages the wall 160.
  • the second part 20 is then secured in place with suitable securing elements such as screw or bolts connected to their counterparts in the ceiling 170 and the wall 160 through the mounting holes 40.
  • the ceiling 170 may be treated with a suitable water barrier treatment so that a continuous water barrier membrane is formed over the ceiling 170 and the second part 20.
  • the second part 20 may be connected to an existing water barrier membrane of the second space with a joining strip of suitable material. In an embodiment, this may be achieved by applying a layer of water barrier membrane in the form of a waterproofing material or waterproofing mat over the face side 200b of the second part 20 and extending material well into the similar waterproofing material of the surrounding ceiling 170 to ensure the formation of a continuous water barrier membrane.
  • the second part may be pre-treated with a water proofing material prior to the installation, and only the seams or joints between the second part 20 and the ceiling 170 need to be retreated with a water proofing material.
  • a plumbing arrangement element 8 may be installed in place and connected to the second part 20 via the connectors 60, as explained earlier.
  • the first part 10 or upper part of the lead-through element 1 is installed or mounted in place onto and into the floor 150 of the first space 801, i.e. the space above the floor structure 180.
  • the openings 11, 12, 13 are aligned with the initial lead-through holes arranged into the floor structure 180, and the first plate 102 is brought into contact with the floor 150 so that the underside 102b of the first plate 102 engages the floor 150.
  • the first flange 103 is similarly brought into contact with the wall 160 so that the backside 103b of the first flange 103 engages the wall 160.
  • the first part 10 is then secured in place with suitable securing elements such as screw or bolts connected to their counterparts in the floor 150 and the wall 160 through the mounting holes 40.
  • the floor 150 may be treated with a suitable water barrier treatment so that a continuous water barrier membrane is formed over the floor 150 and the first part 10.
  • the second part 10 may be connected to an existing water barrier membrane of the first space. In an embodiment, this may be achieved by applying a layer of water barrier membrane in the form of a waterproofing material or waterproofing mat over the totality of the first part 10 above the floor 150 and extending material well into the similar waterproofing material of the surrounding floor 150 to ensure the formation of a continuous water barrier membrane.
  • the first part may be pretreated with a waterproofing material prior to the installation, similarly to the second part 20 as explained above.
  • a plumbing arrangement element 8 may be installed in place and connected to the first part 10, as explained earlier.
  • the second part 20 may be installed before or after the first part 10, or the two parts 10, 20 may be installed simultaneously.
  • the intermediate casings 31, 32, 33 are inserted into the initial lead-through channels for example via the second openings 21, 22, 23 of the second part 20 and secured in place to form the lead-through channels 310, 320, 330. This may be done in connection with mounting in place the second part 20 so that the second collars 210, 220, 230 are inserted into the intermediate casings 31, 32, 33 which are then retained by the second plate 200.
  • the intermediated casings may also be inserted later so that the second collars 201, 220, 230 end up outside the intermediate casings 31, 32, 33. In that case, the two parts need to be connected by suitable means.
  • Each lead-through channel 310, 320, 330 may house one pipe 70 or conductive element, or several pipes.
  • the installed lead-through element 1 may function as a fire stopping compartment. It is also possible to install additional fire-stopping and/or preventing materials and/or products within the lead-through element 1.
  • the lead-through element 1 may also provide an effective leak water guidance member, shielding the floor/ceiling structure from any water or moisture in case the pipes or pipe connections above the lead-through element 1 are compromised.
