Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Armaturenanordnung nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 und Verfahren zur Montage der Armaturenanordnung nach Anspruch 13.The present invention relates to a fitting arrangement according to the preamble of claim 1 and a method for assembling the fitting arrangement according to claim 13.

STAND DER TECHNIKSTATE OF THE ART

Aus dem Stand der Technik sind Armaturenanordnungen, welche Unterputz oder hinter einer Vorwandkonstruktion angeordnet werden, bekannt geworden. Beispielsweise zeigen die EP 3 168 375 , die DE 20 2015 101 146 U1 oder die DE 10 2008 023 671 derartige Armaturen. Eine weitere Armaturenanordnung, die den nächstkommenden Stand der Technik darstellt, ist aus der WO2006/090963 bekannt.From the prior art, valve arrangements which are concealed or arranged behind a front wall construction have become known. For example, the EP 3,168,375 , the DE 20 2015 101 146 U1 or the DE 10 2008 023 671 such fittings. Another fitting arrangement, which represents the closest prior art, is from WO2006 / 090963 known.

Die aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Armaturen haben den Nachteil, dass deren Montage meist sehr kompliziert ist, weil sich anzuschliessende Armaturenteile hinter einer Vorwand liegen oder Unterputz montiert sind. Insofern sind diese Teile nicht direkt zugänglich, was die Montage erschwert.The fittings known from the prior art have the disadvantage that their assembly is usually very complicated because fitting parts to be connected are located behind a wall or are flush-mounted. In this respect, these parts are not directly accessible, which makes assembly more difficult.

DARSTELLUNG DER ERFINDUNGDISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION

Ausgehend von diesem Stand der Technik liegt der Erfindung eine Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Armaturenanordnung anzugeben, welche die Nachteile des Standes der Technik überwindet. Insbesondere ist es eine Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung eine Armaturenanordnung anzugeben, welche einfacher zu montieren ist.Proceeding from this prior art, the invention is based on an object of specifying a fitting arrangement which overcomes the disadvantages of the prior art. In particular, it is an object of the present invention to specify a fitting arrangement which is easier to assemble.

Diese Aufgabe löst die Armaturenanordnung nach Anspruch 1. Demgemäss umfasst die Armaturenanordnung ein erstes Einbaugehäuse mit einem Innenraum, der über eine Einsatzöffnung zugänglich ist,

  • ein im Innenraum des ersten Einbaugehäuses zu montierenden Armaturenblock mit mindestens einem Versorgungsschlauch, der mit einem Frischwasseranschluss zu verbinden ist,
  • mindestens ein Installationsrohr, welches von einer Durchgangsöffnung im ersten Einbaugehäuse vom ersten Einbaugehäuse weg führt,
  • ein zweites Einbaugehäuse mit mindestens einer Durchgangsöffnung, über welche das Installationsrohr in einen Innenraum des zweiten Einbaugehäuses mündet, wobei im zweiten Einbaugehäuse mindestens ein Frischwasseranschluss vorgesehen ist, an welchen der besagte Versorgungsschlauch anschliessbar ist und
  • ein Montageelement, welches für die Montage des Armaturenblocks in den Innenraum des ersten Einbaugehäuses einsetzbar ist, und welches mindestens einen
This object is achieved by the fitting arrangement according to claim 1. Accordingly, the fitting arrangement comprises a first installation housing with an interior space that is accessible via an insert opening,
  • a valve block to be mounted in the interior of the first installation housing at least one supply hose that is to be connected to a fresh water connection,
  • at least one installation pipe which leads from a through opening in the first installation housing away from the first installation housing,
  • a second built-in housing with at least one through opening through which the installation pipe opens into an interior space of the second built-in housing, with at least one fresh water connection being provided in the second built-in housing to which said supply hose can be connected and
  • a mounting element which can be used for mounting the valve block in the interior of the first built-in housing, and which has at least one

Führungskanal mit einer Frontöffnung und einer rückwärtigen Öffnung aufweist. Die Frontöffnung ist bei eingesetztem Montageelement frei zugänglich und die rückwärtige Öffnung liegt bei eingesetztem Montageelement im Wesentlichen deckungsgleich zur Durchgangsöffnung, derart, dass der Versorgungsschlauch über die Frontöffnung in den Führungskanal einschiebbar ist und vom Führungskanal über die rückwärtige Öffnung und die Durchgangsöffnung in das Installationsrohr führbar ist. Das Montagelement ist nach Einschieben des Versorgungsschlauchs in das Installationsrohr aus dem Innenraum des ersten Einbaugehäuses entfernbar, derart, dass der Innenraum des Einbaugehäuses freigegeben wird, so dass der Armaturenblock in den Innenraum des ersten Einbaugehäuses einsetzbar ist.Has guide channel with a front opening and a rear opening. The front opening is freely accessible when the mounting element is inserted and the rear opening is essentially congruent with the through opening when the mounting element is inserted, in such a way that the supply hose can be pushed into the guide channel via the front opening and can be guided from the guide channel via the rear opening and the through opening into the installation pipe . After the supply hose has been pushed into the installation pipe, the mounting element can be removed from the interior of the first built-in housing in such a way that the interior of the built-in housing is released so that the valve block can be inserted into the interior of the first built-in housing.

Durch den Einsatz des Montageelementes mit dem Führungskanal ergeht der Vorteil, dass der Versorgungsschlauch sehr einfach vom ersten Einbaugehäuse in das zweite Einbaugehäuse geführt werden kann. Ein langwieriges Einfädeln des Versorgungsschlauchs, insbesondere an schwer zugänglichen Stellen, entfällt somit. Hierdurch wird die Montage wesentlich vereinfacht.The use of the assembly element with the guide channel has the advantage that the supply hose can be guided very easily from the first installation housing into the second installation housing. A lengthy threading of the supply hose, especially in hard-to-reach places, is therefore no longer necessary. This significantly simplifies assembly.

Die beiden Einbaugehäuse sind vorzugsweise hinter einer Vorwand oder Unterputz montiert, wobei der Innenraum der Einbaugehäuse jeweils durch einen Durchbruch in der Wand zugänglich ist.The two built-in housings are preferably mounted behind a pre-wall or flush-mounted, the interior of the built-in housing being accessible through an opening in the wall.

Für den Frischwasseranschluss ist im zweiten Einbaugehäuse vorzugsweise an Anschlussblock vorhanden. Der Versorgungsschlauch kann mit dem Anschlussblock beispielsweise über Kupplungen verbunden werden. Der Anschlussblock steht weiter mit Frischwasserleitungen in Verbindung.For the fresh water connection, there is preferably a connection block in the second installation housing. The supply hose can be connected to the connection block be connected for example via couplings. The connection block is also connected to fresh water pipes.

Vorzugsweise ist das Montageelement aus Kunststoff gefertigt.The mounting element is preferably made of plastic.

Vorzugsweise wird das Montageelement auf Anschlag in den Innenraum eingesetzt. Beispielsweise können die Innenflächen der Seitenwände und der Rückwand des Innenraums einen Anschlag bereitstellen, wobei die Innenflächen dann mit den Aussenflächen des Montageelementes in Kontakt kommen. Durch das Einschieben auf Anschlag entfällt eine weitergehende Positionierung im Innenraum.The assembly element is preferably inserted into the interior space against a stop. For example, the inner surfaces of the side walls and the rear wall of the interior can provide a stop, the inner surfaces then coming into contact with the outer surfaces of the mounting element. By pushing in to the stop, further positioning in the interior is not necessary.

Vorzugsweise ragt das Montageelement aus der Einsatzöffnung heraus, so dass die Frontöffnungen gut zugänglich sind.The mounting element preferably protrudes from the insert opening so that the front openings are easily accessible.

Besonders bevorzugt ist das Montageelement zugleich als Bauschutz ausgebildet, wobei das Montageelement die Einsatzöffnung von vorne her gesehen überdeckt; und/oder wobei das Montageelement im eingesetzten Zustand aus dem Innenraum des ersten Einbaugehäuses herausragt.Particularly preferably, the mounting element is also designed as structural protection, the mounting element covering the insert opening as seen from the front; and / or wherein the mounting element protrudes from the interior of the first built-in housing in the inserted state.

Die Überdeckung ist dabei derart, dass kein Mörtel, Staub oder ähnliche Partikel in grösseren Mengen in den Innenraum gelangen können. Mit anderen Worten überdeckt das Montageelement den gesamten Querschnitt des ersten Einbaugehäuses von vorne her gesehen.The overlap is such that no mortar, dust or similar particles can get into the interior in large quantities. In other words, the mounting element covers the entire cross section of the first built-in housing, viewed from the front.

Vorzugsweise ist die mindestens eine Frontöffnung mit einem Stopfen geschützt. Hierdurch wird sichergestellt, dass bei der Montage der Vorwand kein Mörtel, Staub und dergleichen in den Führungskanal gelangen kann.The at least one front opening is preferably protected with a plug. This ensures that no mortar, dust and the like can get into the guide channel during the assembly of the front wall.

Der Stopfen ist vorzugsweise über eine Sollbruchstelle mit dem Montageelement verbunden, derart, dass der mindestens eine Stopfen vom Montageelement trennbar bzw. entfernbar ist.The stopper is preferably connected to the mounting element via a predetermined breaking point in such a way that the at least one stopper can be separated or removed from the mounting element.

Vorzugsweise weist der Führungskanal einen seitlichen Durchbruch auf, welcher sich von der Frontöffnung bis zur rückwärtigen Öffnung erstreckt, wobei bei der Entfernung des Montageelementes der Versorgungsschlauch durch den Durchbruch hindurch aus dem Führungskanal herausnehmbar ist. Mit anderen Worten handelt sich bei der Struktur des Kanals um eine Führungsstruktur, welche den Versorgungsschlauch führt, wobei die Führungsstruktur einseitig durch den Durchbruch offen ausgebildet ist. Bei der Trennung wird der bereits teilweise einbaute Schlauch durch den Durchbruch im Montagelement geführt.The guide channel preferably has a lateral opening which extends from of the front opening extends to the rear opening, the supply hose being removable from the guide channel through the opening when the mounting element is removed. In other words, the structure of the channel is a guide structure which guides the supply hose, the guide structure being designed to be open on one side through the opening. When separating, the hose, which has already been partially installed, is passed through the opening in the mounting element.

Vorzugsweise begrenzt die Innenfläche des Innenraums des ersten Einbaugehäuses den Führungskanal im Bereich des seitlichen Durchbruchs. Die Innenfläche des Innenraums stellt also ebenfalls ein Führungselement für den Versorgungsschlauch bereit.The inner surface of the interior of the first built-in housing preferably delimits the guide channel in the area of the lateral opening. The inner surface of the interior space also provides a guide element for the supply hose.

Vorzugsweise weist der Führungskanal zwischen der Frontöffnung und der rückwärtigen Öffnung einen Krümmungsabschnitt auf, welcher den Versorgungsschlauch bei der Einschubbewegung um einen Winkel von grösser als 45°, insbesondere um etwa 80° bis 110°, umlenkt. Die Umlenkung hat den Vorteil, dass der Versorgungsschlauch in horizontaler Richtung in den Führungskanal eingeschoben werden kann und dann durch den Führungskanal in vertikaler Richtung umgelenkt werden kann. Hierdurch kann das meist unterhalb des ersten Einbaugehäuses liegende zweite Einbaugehäuse durch den Versorgungsschlauch unter der Massgabe einer guten Handhabbarkeit für den Installateur erreicht werden.The guide channel preferably has a curved section between the front opening and the rear opening which deflects the supply hose during the insertion movement by an angle of greater than 45 °, in particular by approximately 80 ° to 110 °. The deflection has the advantage that the supply hose can be pushed into the guide channel in the horizontal direction and can then be deflected in the vertical direction by the guide channel. As a result, the second built-in housing, which is usually located below the first built-in housing, can be reached through the supply hose, provided that it is easy for the installer to handle.

Vorzugsweise ist das Installationsrohr im Bereich des ersten Einbaugehäuses über ein Klemmelement relativ zum ersten Einbaugehäuse festlegbar; und/oder das Installationsrohr ist im Bereich des zweiten Einbaugehäuses über ein Klemmelement relativ zum zweiten Einbaugehäuse festlegbar.The installation pipe can preferably be fixed relative to the first built-in housing in the region of the first built-in housing via a clamping element; and / or the installation pipe can be fixed relative to the second built-in housing in the region of the second built-in housing via a clamping element.

Vorzugsweise weist die Durchgangsöffnung des ersten Einbaugehäuses einen konisch verlaufenden Querschnitt auf, wobei der Querschnitt mit zunehmender Distanz vom ersten Einbaugehäuse her gesehen kleiner wird.The through opening of the first installation housing preferably has a conically running cross section, the cross section becoming smaller as the distance from the first installation housing increases.

Vorzugsweise weist das erste Einbaugehäuse einen Ansatz auf, wobei sich die Durchgangsöffnung durch den Ansatz hindurch erstreckt. Durch den Ansatz kann dieThe first installation housing preferably has an extension, the through opening extending through the extension. Through the approach, the

Durchgangsöffnung länger ausgebildet sein, was eine grössere Führungslänge bedeutet.The passage opening can be made longer, which means a greater guide length.

BESCHREIBUNG BEVORZUGTER AUSFÜHRUNGSFORMENDESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

In den Figuren 1 bis 6 wird eine Armaturenanordnung 1 zur Unterputzmontage gezeigt. Die Armaturenanordnung 1 umfasst ein erstes Einbaugehäuse 2, ein Armaturenblock 4, mindestens ein Installationsrohr 7, ein zweites Einbaugehäuse 9 und ein Montageelement 13.In the Figures 1 to 6 a fitting arrangement 1 for flush mounting is shown. The fitting arrangement 1 comprises a first installation housing 2, a fitting block 4, at least one installation pipe 7, a second installation housing 9 and a mounting element 13.

Das erste Einbaugehäuse 2 weist einen Innenraum 3 auf, der über eine Einsatzöffnung 17 zugänglich ist. Im Innenraum 3 des ersten Einbaugehäuses 2 ist der Armaturenblock 4 zu montieren.The first installation housing 2 has an interior 3 which is accessible via an insert opening 17. The valve block 4 is to be mounted in the interior 3 of the first built-in housing 2.

Der Armaturenblock 4 weist mindestens einen Versorgungsschlauch 5 auf, der mit einem Frischwasseranschluss 12 zu verbinden ist. Der Frischwasseranschluss 12 ist dabei im zweiten Einbaugehäuse 9 angeordnet.The fitting block 4 has at least one supply hose 5 which is to be connected to a fresh water connection 12. The fresh water connection 12 is arranged in the second installation housing 9.

Zwischen dem ersten Einbaugehäuse 2 und dem zweiten Einbaugehäuse 9 ist das Installationsrohr 7 angeordnet. Mit dem Installationsrohr 7 werden die beiden Einbaugehäuse 2, 9 miteinander verbunden. Das Installationsrohr 7 führt von einer Durchgangsöffnung 8 im ersten Einbaugehäuse 2 vom ersten Einbaugehäuse 2 weg und mündet über eine Durchgangsöffnung 10 in das zweite Einbaugehäuse 9. Durch das Installationsrohr 7 kann der Versorgungsschlauch 5 vom Innenraum 3 des ersten Einbaugehäuses 2 zum Innenraum 11 des zweiten Einbaugehäuses 9 geführt werden. Dabei wird der Versorgungsschlauch 5 im zweiten Einbaugehäuse 9 mit dem Frischwasseranschluss 12 verbunden. Der Frischwasseranschluss 12 weist Anschlussstellen 30 auf, an welchen der Versorgungsschlauch 5 angeschlossen werden kann.The installation pipe 7 is arranged between the first installation housing 2 and the second installation housing 9. With the installation pipe 7, the two built-in housings 2, 9 are connected to one another. The installation tube 7 leads from a through opening 8 in the first installation housing 2 away from the first installation housing 2 and opens into the second installation housing 9 via a through opening 10 9 are performed. The supply hose 5 in the second built-in housing 9 is connected to the fresh water connection 12. The fresh water connection 12 has connection points 30 to which the supply hose 5 can be connected.

Das Montageelement 13 ist für die Montage des Armaturenblocks 4 in den Innenraum 11 des ersten Einbaugehäuses 2 einsetzbar. Das Montageelement 13 weist mindestens einen Führungskanal 14 mit einer Frontöffnung 15 und einer rückwärtigen Öffnung auf. Das Montageelement 13 dient mit dem Führungskanal 14 im Wesentlichen der Führung des Versorgungsschlauches 5 bei der Montage des Armaturenblocks 4.The assembly element 13 can be used for the assembly of the fitting block 4 in the interior space 11 of the first built-in housing 2. The mounting element 13 has at least one guide channel 14 with a front opening 15 and a rear opening. The assembly element 13, together with the guide channel 14, essentially serves to guide the supply hose 5 during the assembly of the fitting block 4.

In der Figur 1 wird das Montageelement in beabstandeten Zustand vor dem Einsetzen in den Innenraum 3 des ersten Einbaugehäuses 2 gezeigt.In the Figure 1 the mounting element is shown in a spaced-apart state before being inserted into the interior 3 of the first built-in housing 2.

In der Figur 2 wird das Montageelement 13 auf dem Weg in den Innenraum 3 des ersten Einbaugehäuses 2 gezeigt.In the Figure 2 the mounting element 13 is shown on the way into the interior 3 of the first built-in housing 2.

In der Figur 3 wird das Montageelement 13 im eingesetzten Zustand gezeigt. Die Frontöffnung 15 des Führungskanals 14 ist dabei bei eingesetztem Montageelement 13 frei zugänglich. Die rückwärtige Öffnung liegt bei eingesetztem Montageelement 13 im Wesentlichen deckungsgleich zur Durchgangsöffnung 8. Dies kann in der Figur 4 erkannt werden. Über die Frontöffnung 15 kann der Versorgungsschlauch 5 in den Führungskanal 14 eingeschoben werden. Bei weiterem Vorschieben des Versorgungsschlauches 5 wird dieser im Führungskanal 14 entsprechend geführt. In der Figur 3 befindet sich das vordere Ende 25 des Versorgungsschlauchs 5 vor der Frontöffnung 15 und in der Figur 4 ist das vordere Ende 25 des Versorgungsschlauchs 5 bereits weiter vorgeschoben. Beim Vorschieben des Versorgungsschlauchs 5 in den Führungskanal 14 gleitet der Versorgungsschlauch 5 durch die rückwärtige Öffnung des Führungskanals 14 und die Durchgangsöffnung 10 im ersten Einbaugehäuse 2 in das Installationsrohr 7. Das heisst, der Führungskanal 14 führt den Versorgungsschlauch 5 in das Installationsrohr 7. Sobald nun das vordere Ende 25 weit genug im Installationsrohr 7 liegt und ein Herausgleiten des vorderen Endes 25 bei einer allfälligen Rückwärtsbewegung gegen die allgemeine Montagerichtung nahezu unmöglich ist, kann das Montageelement 13 entfernt werden. Eine weitergehende Führung durch den Führungskanal 14 ist dann nicht mehr nötig. Beispielsweise kann das vordere Ende 25 des Versorgungsschlauchs 5 an einer Position gemäss der Figur 4 liegen.In the Figure 3 the mounting element 13 is shown in the inserted state. The front opening 15 of the guide channel 14 is freely accessible when the mounting element 13 is inserted. When the mounting element 13 is inserted, the rear opening is essentially congruent with the through opening 8. This can be done in FIG Figure 4 be recognized. The supply hose 5 can enter the guide channel via the front opening 15 14 can be inserted. When the supply hose 5 is advanced further, it is guided accordingly in the guide channel 14. In the Figure 3 is the front end 25 of the supply hose 5 in front of the front opening 15 and in the Figure 4 the front end 25 of the supply hose 5 has already been advanced further. When the supply hose 5 is pushed into the guide channel 14, the supply hose 5 slides through the rear opening of the guide channel 14 and the passage opening 10 in the first installation housing 2 into the installation pipe 7. That is, the guide channel 14 leads the supply hose 5 into the installation pipe 7. As soon as now the front end 25 lies far enough in the installation pipe 7 and it is almost impossible for the front end 25 to slide out in the event of a possible backward movement against the general assembly direction, the assembly element 13 can be removed. Further guidance through the guide channel 14 is then no longer necessary. For example, the front end 25 of the supply hose 5 can be in a position according to FIG Figure 4 lie.

In der Figur 5 wird die Armaturenanordnung 1 mit entferntem Montageelement 13 gezeigt. Durch das Entfernen des Montageelements 13 wird der Innenraum 3 des Einbaugehäuses 2 freigegeben, sodass der Armaturenblock 4 in den Innenraum 3 des ersten Einbaugehäuses 2 eingesetzt werden kann. In der Figur 5 befindet sich der Armaturenblock noch beabstandet zum Innenraum 3.In the Figure 5 the fitting arrangement 1 is shown with the mounting element 13 removed. By removing the mounting element 13, the interior 3 of the built-in housing 2 is released, so that the fitting block 4 can be inserted into the interior 3 of the first built-in housing 2. In the Figure 5 the valve block is still at a distance from the interior 3.

In der Figur 6 ist der Armaturenblock 4 in eingesetztem Zustand gezeigt. Sobald der Armaturenblock 4 eingesetzt ist, können auch die vorderen Enden 25 des Versorgungsschlauchs 5 mit dem Frischwasseranschluss 12 verbunden werden.In the Figure 6 the valve block 4 is shown in the inserted state. As soon as the valve block 4 is inserted, the front ends 25 of the supply hose 5 can also be connected to the fresh water connection 12.

Vorzugsweise ist an der Verbindungsstelle zwischen Versorgungsschlauch 5 und Frischwasseranschluss 12 eine Schnellkupplung vorgesehen.A quick-release coupling is preferably provided at the connection point between the supply hose 5 and the fresh water connection 12.

Nach montiertem Armaturenblock kann die Armatur 26 mit dem Armaturenblock 4 verbunden werden. Es ist aber auch denkbar, dass der Armaturenblock 4 und die Armatur 26 an einem Element verwirklicht sind.After the fitting block has been installed, the fitting 26 can be connected to the fitting block 4. But it is also conceivable that the valve block 4 and the valve 26 are realized on one element.

In der gezeigten Ausführungsform sind jeweils zwei Installationsrohre 7 und zwei Versorgungsschläuche 5 gezeigt. Ein Versorgungsschlauch 5 ist ein Kaltwasserversorgungsschlauch und der andere Versorgungsschlauch ist ein Warmwasserversorgungsschlauch. Im Armaturenblock 4 ist ein entsprechender Mischer vorhanden, welcher das kalte Wasser und das warme Wasser miteinander mischt. Es ist aber auch denkbar, dass nur ein Versorgungsschlauch und nur ein Installationsrohr 7 vorhanden ist. Die Zahl der Führungskanäle 14 am Montageelement 13 entspricht vorzugsweise der Anzahl der Versorgungsschläuche 5 beziehungsweise der Installationsrohre 7.In the embodiment shown, two installation pipes 7 and two supply hoses 5 are shown. A supply hose 5 is a Cold water supply hose and the other supply hose is a hot water supply hose. In the fitting block 4 there is a corresponding mixer which mixes the cold water and the warm water with one another. But it is also conceivable that only one supply hose and only one installation pipe 7 is present. The number of guide channels 14 on the mounting element 13 preferably corresponds to the number of supply hoses 5 or installation pipes 7.

In der gezeigten Ausführungsform ist das Montageelement 13 zugleich als Bauschutz ausgebildet. Das heisst, das Montageelement 13 kann vor der Montage der gezeigten Vorwand 22 in den Innenraum 3 eingeschoben werden. Dabei wird der Innenraum 3 vor Einflüssen, die während des Aufbaus der Vorwand 22 entstehen, geschützt. Insbesondere kann kein Mörtel, Staub oder dergleichen in den Innenraum eindringen, weil das Montageelement 13 den Innenraum 3 entsprechend abdeckt. Das Montageelement 13 überdeckt also die Einsatzöffnung 17 von vorne her gesehen im Wesentlichen vollständig. Dies wird auch in der Figur 3 gezeigt.In the embodiment shown, the mounting element 13 is also designed as structural protection. That is to say, the assembly element 13 can be pushed into the interior 3 prior to the assembly of the front wall 22 shown. The interior 3 is protected from influences that arise during the construction of the front wall 22. In particular, no mortar, dust or the like can penetrate into the interior space because the mounting element 13 covers the interior space 3 accordingly. The mounting element 13 thus essentially completely covers the insert opening 17 when viewed from the front. This is also used in the Figure 3 shown.

In der Figur 1 wird gezeigt, dass die mindestens eine Frontöffnung 1 mit einem Stopfen 31 geschützt ist. Der Stopfen 31 steht vorzugsweise über eine Sollbruchstelle mit dem Montageelement 13 in Verbindung. Der Stopfen 31 kann also vom Montageelement 13 abgetrennt werden. Durch den Stopfen 18 wird der Führungskanal 14 entsprechend geschützt. In der Figur 2 wird der Zustand des Montageelementes ohne Stopfen 31 gezeigt.In the Figure 1 it is shown that the at least one front opening 1 is protected with a plug 31. The plug 31 is preferably connected to the mounting element 13 via a predetermined breaking point. The plug 31 can therefore be separated from the mounting element 13. The guide channel 14 is correspondingly protected by the plug 18. In the Figure 2 the state of the mounting element without plug 31 is shown.

Der Stopfen 31 kann aber auch als separates Teil ausgebildet sein und in die Frontöffnung 15 eingesetzt sein.The stopper 31 can, however, also be designed as a separate part and inserted into the front opening 15.

Weiter weist der Führungskanal 14 einen seitlichen Durchbruch 18 auf. Der seitliche Durchbruch 18 erstreckt sich von der Frontöffnung 15 bis zur rückwärtigen Öffnung.The guide channel 14 also has a lateral opening 18. The lateral opening 18 extends from the front opening 15 to the rear opening.

Über diesen seitlichen Durchbruch 18 kann der Versorgungsschlauch 5 aus dem Führungskanal 14 herausgenommen werden. Ausgehend von der Figur 4 kann also das Montageelement 13 aus dem Innenraum 3 und dann nach oben vom Versorgungsschlauch 5 weg bewegt werden, wobei der Versorgungsschlauch 5 durch den seitlichen Durchbruch 18 hindurchgleitet. Die Innenfläche des Innenraums 3 des ersten Einbaugehäuses 2 begrenzt den Führungskanal 14 im Bereich des seitlichen Durchbruchs 18. Das heisst, der Versorgungsschlauch 5 ist bei Vorhandensein des seitlichen Durchbruchs 18 nicht nur durch den Führungskanal 14 geführt, sondern auch durch die Innenfläche des Innenraums 3.The supply hose 5 can be removed from the guide channel 14 via this lateral opening 18. Based on the Figure 4 Thus, the mounting element 13 can be moved out of the interior 3 and then upwards away from the supply hose 5, the supply hose 5 through the lateral opening 18 slides through. The inner surface of the interior 3 of the first built-in housing 2 delimits the guide channel 14 in the area of the lateral opening 18 When the lateral opening 18 is present, the supply hose 5 is not only guided through the guide channel 14, but also through the inner surface of the interior 3.

Weiter weist der Führungskanal 14 zwischen der Frontöffnung 15 und der rückwärtigen Öffnung einen Krümmungsabschnitt 19 auf. Der Krümmungsabschnitt 19 weist hier einen Winkel von etwa 90° auf. Dabei wird der Versorgungsschlauch 5 bei der Montagebewegung um den entsprechenden Winkel umgelenkt.The guide channel 14 further has a curved section 19 between the front opening 15 and the rear opening. The curved section 19 here has an angle of approximately 90 °. The supply hose 5 is deflected by the corresponding angle during the assembly movement.

Das Installationsrohr 7 ist im Bereich des ersten Einbaugehäuses 2 über ein Klemmelement 20 relativ zum ersten Einbaugehäuse 2 festlegbar. Das Klemmelement 20 ist hier als mechanisches Klemmelement gezeigt.The installation pipe 7 can be fixed in the area of the first built-in housing 2 via a clamping element 20 relative to the first built-in housing 2. The clamping element 20 is shown here as a mechanical clamping element.

Die Durchgangsöffnung 8 des ersten Einbaugehäuses 2 weist, wie in den Figuren 4 und 5 gezeigt, einen konisch verlaufenden Querschnitt auf. Der Querschnitt der Durchgangsöffnung 8 wird mit zunehmender Distanz vom ersten Einbaugehäuse her gesehen kleiner. Durch den konischen Querschnitt kann der Versorgungsschlauch 5 leichter in das Installationsrohr 7 gleiten.The through opening 8 of the first installation housing 2 has, as in FIG Figures 4 and 5 shown, a conical cross section. The cross section of the through opening 8 becomes smaller as the distance from the first installation housing increases. Due to the conical cross section, the supply hose 5 can slide more easily into the installation pipe 7.

In der gezeigten Ausführungsform weist das erste Einbaugehäuse 2 weiter einen Ansatz 21 auf, welcher sich vom ersten Einbaugehäuse 2 weg erstreckt. Die Durchgangsöffnung 8 erstreckt sich durch den Ansatz 21 hindurch.In the embodiment shown, the first built-in housing 2 furthermore has an extension 21 which extends away from the first built-in housing 2. The through opening 8 extends through the extension 21.

In den Figuren 4 und 5 wird gezeigt, dass das erste Einbaugehäuse 2 und das zweite Einbaugehäuse 9 an einem Montagerahmen 23 fest montiert sind. Der Montagerahmen 23 wird dabei gebäudeseitig fest mit einem Gebäude verbunden. Weiter ist der Montagerahmen 23 durch eine Vorwand 22, welche gegebenenfalls mit Fliesen versehen ist, verdeckt. Die beiden Einbaugehäuse 2, 9 sind durch Durchbrüche 24 in der Vorwand 22 zugänglich.In the Figures 4 and 5 it is shown that the first installation housing 2 and the second installation housing 9 are fixedly mounted on a mounting frame 23. The mounting frame 23 is firmly connected to a building on the building side. Furthermore, the mounting frame 23 is covered by a front wall 22, which is optionally provided with tiles. The two built-in housings 2, 9 are accessible through openings 24 in the front wall 22.

Im zweiten Einbaugehäuse 9 sind weitere Armaturen angeordnet. Hier ein Siphon 27 und ein Ablaufventil 28. Weiter ist ein Anschlussstutzen 29 für den Anschluss eines Ablaufs eines Waschbeckens vorgesehen.Further fittings are arranged in the second installation housing 9. Here a siphon 27 and a drain valve 28. A connection piece 29 is also provided for connecting a drain of a wash basin.

Das erste Einbaugehäuse 2 liegt mit einem Abstand A beabstandet zum zweiten Einbaugehäuse 9, wobei der Abstand A grösser als 20 Zentimeter ist.The first built-in housing 2 is at a distance A from the second built-in housing 9, the distance A being greater than 20 centimeters.

Ein Verfahren zur Montage der Armaturenanordnung 1 umfasst folgende nacheinander auszuführende Schritte:

  • Das Montageelement 13 wird für die Montage des Armaturenblocks 4 in den Innenraum 3 des ersten Einbaugehäuses 2 eingesetzt;
  • anschliessend wird der Versorgungsschlauch 5 durch die Frontöffnung in den Führungskanal 14 eingeschoben;
  • anschliessend wird der Versorgungsschlauch 5 soweit vorgeschoben wird, dass dieser in das Installationsrohr 7 einragt oder dass dieser durch das Installationsrohr 7 hindurchragt,
  • anschliessend wird das Montageelement 13 aus dem Innenraum entfernt; und
  • anschliessend wird der Armaturenblock 4 in den Innenraum eingesetzt.
A method for assembling the fitting arrangement 1 comprises the following steps to be carried out one after the other:
  • The assembly element 13 is used for the assembly of the fitting block 4 in the interior 3 of the first built-in housing 2;
