Definitions

  • the invention relates to an S-connection for connecting a valve to a water pipe.
  • Known S-ports for this purpose have a 1/2 "male thread for connection to a water conduit and a 3/4" male thread for connection to a fitting, the longitudinal axes of said threads being parallel and spaced apart.
  • the S-terminals are S-shaped as a whole, so that by adjusting the angle of rotation after screwing the 1/2 "male thread into an internal thread of a water pipe connection a lateral position (ie the arrangement of the longitudinal axis of the 3/4" male thread in the plane
  • the distance between the two longitudinal axes is also referred to as adjustability because of this adjustment possibility, and it is particularly important to precisely adjust the lateral position of the 3/4 "external thread in order to be able to install a fitting exactly horizontally with two connections arranged at a standardized distance for hot and cold water.
  • Hahn extensions are used, which are screwed with a 1/2 "male thread in the wall plate and at its other end a 1/2" female thread into which the 1/2 "male thread of S-connection is screwed in.
  • the tap extensions are available in many different lengths in 5 mm increments, eg. B. from 10 mm to 50 mm in length.
  • the S-piece can be shaped similar to a conventional S-connector.
  • it has a 3/4 "male thread, which is connected to the fitting in the manner known from conventional S-type connections, for example with a union nut provided on the fitting, which fits onto the 3/4" male thread of the fitting S-piece is screwed on and clamped a sealing surface of the valve with a front side of the S-piece.
  • the seal is done here so in the Usually not in the area of the thread, but on the front side of the S-piece at the end provided with the 3/4 "male thread.
  • the lateral offset is caused by the distance between the longitudinal axes of the 3/4 "male thread on the one hand and the female thread of the S piece on the other hand, thus allowing the side of the 3/4" male thread of the S-piece to be similar to conventional S-type fittings be adjusted by twisting the S-piece.
  • the pipe section in addition to the S-piece there is a piece of pipe which is responsible for the adaptability of the length of the entire S-connection.
  • the pipe section can be straight and completely rotationally symmetrical. It has a 1/2 "male thread for connection to a water pipe which, in particular, can be screwed directly into a wall disk, of course the 1/2" male thread of the pipe piece can also be in the manner known from conventional S-type fittings with a tap extension be bolted, if the distance between the wall plate and fitting is so large that it can not be completely bridged by the S-port.
  • the pipe piece In addition to the 1/2 "male thread for connection to a water pipe, the pipe piece has an S-piece side portion which has an external thread which can be screwed into the internal thread of the S-piece of the 1/2 "male thread for connection to the water line.
  • the external thread of the S-piece-side portion of the pipe section can be screwed into the internal thread of the S-piece, wherein a reliable seal in the region of this threaded connection can be made for example with the aid of a sealant such as hemp or sealing tape.
  • the S-connection according to the invention like a conventional S-connection, forms a 3/4 "male thread at one end
  • the lateral adjustability can be achieved by twisting the pipe section relative to the water pipe, on the one hand, and by twisting the pipe, on the other hand S-piece relative to the pipe piece can be realized.
  • Another advantage of the S-connection according to the invention is that the total length can be easily adapted to a given distance between the water pipe and the fitting by shortening the S-piece-side portion of the pipe section as needed.
  • the shortening of the S-piece side section leaves the connections between the water-line-side section and the water pipe on the one hand and the 3/4 "male thread and the fitting completely unaffected on the other hand.
  • the liquid-tight connection between the pipe section and the S-piece can be produced, in particular, prior to installation on the water line, so that the connection region to be sealed is particularly easily accessible. Errors in the seal can be avoided.
  • the external thread of the S-piece-side pipe section has a length of at least 30mm.
  • the excess length can thus be easily shortened to adjust the overall length of the S-terminal in the desired manner. Shortening can be infinitely variable and accurate to the millimeter, so that an exact positioning of the 3/4 "male thread is always possible.
  • the 1/2 "male thread of the water pipe side portion of the pipe piece and the male thread of the S piece side portion of the pipe piece are spaced apart by 10 mm or less, and the distance may be even smaller, for example less than 5 mm or less than 2 mm.
  • the two threads can also be directly adjacent to each other or merge into each other. The smaller the distance between the two threads, the more the pipe section can be shortened.
  • the 1/2 "male thread of the water pipe side portion of the pipe piece is a tapered thread, in particular, this thread can be made according to EN10226 and / or DIN2999 standard Slightly close to the end of the water-line-side section, so that when screwed into a cylindrical internal thread of a wall plate, a metallic seal is achieved, unlike the above-mentioned, from the document DE 20 2015 100 038 U1 known S-terminal, which also has a shortened external thread, is thus possible with the S-connection according to the invention as a particularly safe, metallic seal between S-port and wall plate. This is of particular importance because it is precisely this connection that is located particularly deep inside the wall so that leakage is particularly difficult to detect and correct. Leakage in this area often causes particularly large water damage.
  • the external thread of the S-piece side portion of the pipe section is a cylindrical thread.
  • the outer diameter of the thread is constant over the entire length of the external thread.
  • the internal thread of the S-piece is a cylindrical thread. This is particularly easy for the screw with the external thread of the S-piece-side portion of the pipe section, the seal can be done as usual with the aid of a sealant.
  • the internal thread of the S-piece is a tapered thread. This may also comply with one of the above standards. It has a with increasing distance from the pipe piece facing the end of the S-piece slightly decreasing inner diameter, so that when screwing the pipe piece also a metallic seal is achieved, which is considered particularly reliable.
  • the external thread of the S-piece side portion of the pipe section has a length of at least 50 mm or at least 80 mm.
  • the male thread of the S-piece side portion of the pipe fitting and the female thread of the S-piece are 1/2 "threads., Other diameters are generally possible built and allow optimal flow.
  • the S-piece has a total length of 40 mm or less.
  • the total length of the S-piece may be in the range of 25 mm to 40 mm, preferably in the range of 30 mm to 35 mm.
  • the total length of the S-connection can be kept particularly short.
  • Another advantage is that the connection between the pipe section and S-piece can be outside the wall, for example, in front of the level of a surface of applied to the wall tiles. A leak in the connection area between the S-piece and pipe section can be particularly easily noticed and eliminated. The risk of leaking water inside the wall unnoticed in this area and causing long-term damage is reduced.
  • the S-piece has a fitting-side portion having the 3/4 "male thread, a pipe piece-side portion having the female thread, and a middle portion forming a transition between the fitting-side portion and the pipe-piece-side portion.
  • the lateral offset of the longitudinal axes between the two threads of the S-piece is realized by the middle section.
  • the length of the middle section is 10 mm or less. This favors a particularly short-sided construction of the S-piece.
  • the length of the female thread of the S-piece is 15 mm or less.
  • the internal thread is sized so that a reliable seal against the external thread of the pipe section is possible.
  • a length of the internal thread in the range of 8 mm to 15 mm, in particular in the range of 8 mm to 12 mm or of about 10 mm may be sufficient.
  • the S-piece can also be made very short overall.
  • the distance between the longitudinal axes is in the range of 3 mm to 40 mm.
  • An adjustability in this range preferably in the range of 5 mm to 20 mm, is usually sufficient for the required lateral adjustment of the arrangement of the 3/4 "male thread.
  • the S-piece in addition to the female thread, has a 1/2 "female thread concentric with the 3/4" male thread.
  • the S port is not only suitable for connecting a fitting to the 3/4 "male thread in the manner described above, but may also be used for connection to, for example, an angle valve located in the concentric with the 3/4" male thread This also allows the lateral arrangement of such an angle valve and its distance to the water pipe with the aid of the S-connection can be adjusted.
  • the external thread of the S-piece-side portion on a corrugation can facilitate sealing with a sealant such as hemp or sealing tape when screwing.
  • the S-piece-side section can be shortened with a pipe saw. Shortening with a pipe saw is particularly easy and possible with sufficient accuracy without special tools.
  • the S connection can be made from all materials that can be used in the sanitary sector.
  • the S-port is made of brass and or is chrome plated. He is thus particularly durable. Also used can be gunmetal or stainless steel.
  • the in Fig. 1 shown S-port consists of an S-piece 10 and a pipe section 12, so it is in two parts.
  • the S-piece 10 has three longitudinal sections, namely a fitting-side section 14, a pipe piece-side section 16 and a middle section 18.
  • the middle section 18 forms a transition between the fitting-side section 14 and the pipe-piece-side section 16.
  • the armature-side portion 14 has a 3/4 "male thread 20 which extends substantially the entire length of the armature-side portion 14 and has a longitudinal axis 22.
  • the tubular-piece-side portion 16 has an internal thread 24 which extends substantially over the The two longitudinal axes 22, 26 are arranged parallel to each other and at a distance d from one another In the example shown, the distance is approximately 10 mm and the internal thread 24 has a diameter of 1/2 ".
  • the female thread 24 may be cylindrical, as shown. Alternatively, a tapered internal thread can be used at this point.
  • the total length 1 of the illustrated S-piece 10 is about 35 mm, of which 10 mm or less accounts for the central portion 18.
  • the tube piece 12 has a substantially uniform inner diameter and has a longitudinal axis 28, to which it is completely rotationally symmetrical.
  • the pipe section 12 has an S-piece side section 30, which has a cylindrical external thread 32 with a length of at least 30 mm.
  • the S-piece-side section 30 together with external thread 32 can be shortened as desired, for example with a pipe saw.
  • the pipe section 12 also has a water pipe side portion 34 with a tapered 1/2 "male thread 36, with which it can be connected to a water pipe.
  • the pipe section 12 is shortened in the region of the external thread 30 to the required length and connected to the S-piece 10.
  • the external thread 32 of the S-piece-side portion 30 of the pipe section 12 is screwed into the internal thread 24 of the S-piece 10, wherein a sealant such as hemp or a sealing tape can be added.
  • Fig. 2 shows the S port Fig. 1 in a typical state of installation. Shown is a wall 38, in which a wall plate 40 is fixed, which represents an on-site completion of a water pipe not shown.
  • the wall plate 40 has a cylindrical 1/2 "internal thread 42.
  • the given installation depth s of the wall plate 40 in the wall 38 is measured, for example, from an end face 44 of the wall plate 40 to a front side 46 of the wall 38 corresponding to, for example, the front of a tile. Thereafter, the length of pipe 12 is trimmed so that the total length of the S-port is shunted to the mounting depth s and the desired distance of the 3/4 "male thread for connection to the fitting from the front of the wall 46 when properly seated 42 of the wall plate 40 is screwed.
  • a rosette 48 can be screwed onto the 3/4 "outer thread 20 of the S-piece 10 so that the rosette 48 rests against the surface 46 of the wall 38 and a longitudinal section of the 3/4" sufficient for attachment of a fitting. External thread remains free.
