Description

Finishing plate

Object of the invention — The present application is related to the installation of a frame corner tap box equipped with drainage on the finish plate, and to the connection of a compatible frame corner tap box installed on the finish plate.

Background of the invention

Faucet corner boxes are used to connect service water pipes and protective pipes to water points, such as water taps. When installed on the wall, the faucet corner box acts as a sealed protective case for the pipe connection and enables the connection of a water pipe that usually runs in a vertical direction to a water point on the wall.

The faucet corner box has a body with a metal faucet corner inside, to which the water pipe and Vesipiste are connected. The frame enables the tap corner to be installed on the wall or inside the wall in the most common cases. The faucet corner box can be offered separately, or it can be, for example, a connected or connectable combination of two similar faucet corner boxes, in which case cold and hot water can each be offered with their own faucet corner box. However, there is a need to create more complex faucet corner box solutions, which also increases the problems of installing them. & The industry therefore has a need to create solutions for various faucet angle

N assemblies to install, and solve installation problems. In addition, there is

S be able to take into account valid legislation, such as structural

The requirements of the Norwegian Act, which require, for example, the management of leachate

I 30 — outside the wall. When installing faucet corner boxes, it is also desirable > to create a finished installation impression. 2

Q Brief summary

O

OF

> 35 — In the present invention, it was noticed how problems of the technical level can be solved and faucet corner solutions can be improved, especially in cases where the faucet corner box has several faucet corners or several framed faucet corner boxes, especially when there is also a faucet corner for implementing drainage. The installation of water pipes and drainage differ from each other, for example in terms of flows, pipes and connections, so the invention resulted in an installation and finishing solution that enabled the installation of both with the same faucet corner box and the management of leakage water also in terms of drainage.

The present solution can be implemented for various locations where — special leakage water management is needed and where unusual faucet corner box solutions are used, such as for example under a sink without a sink cabinet, under the kitchen sink or similar water fixtures and/or related equipment, or in general for locations where you don't want or drainage can be carried out in the traditional way through the floor or a floor drain.

The present application provides a finishing plate for the installation of a frame corner tap box equipped with drainage, which frame corner tap box comprises two tap corners for connecting water pipes and the connected tap corner for connecting the drainage, which finish plate is planar and adapted to be installed against the installation surface and to receive the tap corners of the installed frame corner tap box and/ or their protective pipes, where the finishing plate has openings equipped with sleeves protruding from the plane at each faucet corner, which sleeves comprise two sleeves adapted to receive the faucet corners intended for connecting water pipes and/or their protective pipes, and a sleeve adapted to receive the faucet corner intended for connecting drainage.

Figure 3A shows an exploded view of the finishing plate and the combination of faucet corner boxes compatible with it. — Fig. 3B shows the finish plate of Fig. 1 mounted in a matching frame Faucet Corner box, seen from the front. Fig. 3C shows the finish plate of Fig. 2 installed in a compatible frame faucet corner box as seen from behind the finish plate. — Detailed description

Faucet corner boxes are used for flush installation of flow pipes and water fixtures, such as faucets. The purpose of the faucet box is to enable the installation of service water piping installed inside the wall safely in compliance with building regulations. In addition to wall installation, it is possible to apply the same principle to other surfaces, structures and solutions, which can be vertical like the wall, but can also be in other directions. The wall can be an interior wall or an exterior wall, or another similar structure. — There may be support structures inside the wall to which the faucet corner box can be attached. For example, conventional support structures are the wooden

N ta, metal or composite frame posts and collations and others

S carrying and fastening structural parts. The faucet corner box can be, for example

N screw or bolt to the footed support structures in the frame of the tap corner box

I 30 — through drilled screw or bolt holes or other fastening solutions. > The general solution is to screw the faucet corner box to a separate board with four screws

S or to a similar element attached to the vertical frames of the wall.

OF

N The faucet corner box used here comprises a frame in which and/or inside of which there is — more than one faucet corner and/or faucet corner box, which frame can be a combination of separate faucet corner box frames, the faucet corners are arranged to be connected to the service water pipe and the water point, and to the drain pipe and for draining the water furniture. The present frame corner tap box can be a combination of tap corner boxes with three tap corner boxes connected/attached to each other, in which case the body of the combination can be a combination of the frames of three tap corner boxes. Figure 3A shows three connectable faucet corner box frames 32A, 33A and 34A, which can form the present faucet corner box combination and/or combination of frames. The drain pipe is preferably arranged inside a wall or similar. In the present solution, the body of the faucet corner box has two faucet corners for — connecting water pipes and, preferably, a faucet corner between them for connecting drainage. The tap angle of the drainage can be either exactly on the line between the tap angles of the water pipes, as defined by the opening of the tap angle, or the tap angle of the drainage can be somewhat to the side of the line between the tap angles of the water pipes.

The body of the faucet corner box can be, for example, plastic, and protective pipes can be shaped or attached to it, for example to connect and/or protect the service water pipe and its protective pipe, and/or to protect the pipes of the water fixture and support the installation. The protective tube can be plastic or a similar material, and it can be the same or different material from the frame. The protective tube can be a fixed part of the frame, or it can be releasably connected to the frame, for example with threads. The protective tube 36, 37 surrounding the other end of the faucet corner of the water pipe enables any leakage water to be directed out of the faucet corner box.

The protective pipe 36, 37 can have an installation and/or leakage water sleeve 36A, 37A, which — can be flanged (Figure 3A). The flange is arranged to fit against the installation surface & floor. The mounting sleeve can be connected with threads or can be connected by

N to the pipe, so that its length can be adjusted, for example, so that the sleeve

The S 36A, 37A flange fits snugly against the installation surface.

OF

I 30 The faucet angle can be metal, such as brass, usually a pipe forming an essentially right angle, which can have 2 threads at one or both ends for connecting pipes or the like to it. The faucet corner, such as the faucet corner intended for drainage, can also be made of plastic. Intended for water pipes

The faucet angle N is arranged from its first end to be connected to a service water pipe, such as a hot or cold water pipe, for example a PEX pipe, and preferably also to the protective pipe of the water line, and for this purpose, the faucet angle and the faucet

the frame of the corner box can have fastening means or solutions, such as gaskets, threads, and/or pipe receiving parts formed by the frame. The faucet corner box can be equipped with a protective pipe holder and seal, such as an opening sealed protective pipe holder for a protective pipe. 5

The faucet angle intended for water pipes is arranged at one end to be connected to a water point, such as a tap, mixer or other suitable water point or water fixture. This faucet angle can be inside a protective tube protruding from the body of the faucet angle box. In the solutions described here, this — can be implemented with the help of a separate pipe, if the faucet corner is at a distance from the water point, for example when the faucet corner box is below the sink.

Correspondingly, the tap angle intended for drainage is arranged at its first end to be connected to a drain pipe, which can be inside the wall, and from the second — to allow access to one or more drains of a water fixture or similar device, for example to a sink drain and possibly an overflow hole.

The parts of the faucet corner box, with the exception of the metallic faucet corner and pipes, can be made of a suitable polymeric material, such as plastic. Examples of suitable plastics are polypropylene, polyethylene, polystyrene, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyamide and PVC. These parts can be of the same or different material. Plastic faucet corners can be made of the same and/or different polymeric materials, such as plastic.

Shown here is a finish plate for the installation of a framed tap & corner box with drainage, which frame tap corner box comprises two

N faucet angles for connecting water pipes and in connection with them, such as between and/or

S in the same body of the faucet corner, the connection of the drainage of the existing faucet corner

N there. The mentioned three faucet angles can be mounted on a common frame or

I 30 — the separate frames have been able to be combined so that the openings defined by the tap corners > for pipes such as water and sewer pipes are in the same line, as in the pre-

S is shown in figure 3.

OF

N The frame corner faucet box with drainage shown can — be used in methods for bringing water and sewer pipes to the sink, such as under the sink. The solution is usable, for example, in sinks without a sink cabinet and/or when you want to avoid leading the drainage to the floor below the sink.

The finishing plate 10 is planar, preferably comprising an essentially planar plate and/or its front surface, and it is adapted to be installed against the installation surface, practically on top of a compatible frame corner tap box 30 mounted on a wall or the like, whereby the finishing plate covers the openings in the wall or the like, and tap corner box, and creates a finished installation trace. The finishing plate can be square and/or elongated, as shown in the figures. The edges and/or corners of the finishing board can be rounded or bevelled.

The finishing board helps to detect possible leaks and direct them to the surface and away from the wall, thus meeting the requirements of modern building regulations in most countries. Leaks are directed from the opening(s) in the finishing board to the side of the room, where they can be detected on the surface of the finishing board and/or on the wall and/or floor surface, which are usually resistant to water or moisture. This way, in the event of a possible leak, moisture damage to wall structures and the like is avoided, as well as laborious and expensive renovations.

The finishing plate 10 is adapted to receive the tap corners 32, 33, 34, and/or their protective pipes 36, 37 of the installed structural faucet corner box 30, more precisely the other ends of the faucet corners 32, 33, 34 and/or the protective pipes 36, 37, and/or the protective pipes installation sleeves 36A, 37A, where the finishing plate has openings 12, 13, 14 equipped with sleeves 16, 17, 18 protruding from the plane & at each tap corner 32, 33, 34, which sleeves comprise two water pipes-

of tap corners intended for connection, and/or their protective pipes,

Sleeves 16, 17 adapted for taping and for connecting drainage

A sleeve 18 adapted to receive the nth faucet angle. In practice, vii-

I 30 — the bushings protruding from the stamping plate can be pushed and/or placed into the corresponding tap corners of a compatible > frame tap angle box or into their protective pipe mounting sleeves, whereby the finishing plate sits on the tap corners and/or tap angle boxes and against the installation surface. Bushings 16, 17, 18 and the like

The diameters/inner diameters of the openings 12, 13, 14 can be essentially the same, — such as 32 mm, or the diameter/inner diameter of the drainage sleeve 18 and the corresponding opening 13 can be larger than the openings 12, 14 and/or sleeves 16, 17 of the water pipes, as for example 50 mm, especially in the plane of the mounting plate or its front side. In general, the diameter of the openings can be in the range of 30-50 mm, such as 32-50 mm. — The sleeves 16, 17 of the water pipes can be relatively short, for example they can extend to the same level as the rim 20 which goes around the plane and is adapted to settle against the installation surface. In this case, these sleeves do not limit the installation, such as the installation depth. Preferably, these sleeves are arranged to be placed in, around and/or on the body of the other end of the faucet corners of the water pipes and/or the faucet corner box surrounding it — the projecting protective pipe 36, 37 or the leakage water sleeve/mounting sleeve 36A, 37A. In the examples of Figures 3A-C, the sleeves 16, 17 of the water pipes are arranged to fit inside the installation sleeves 36A, 37A. The flange of the mounting sleeve 36A, 37A remains behind the finishing plate. Drainage usually does not have a corresponding installation sleeve. With the presented solution, it is possible to — direct the possible leakage water of all pipes to the same place/level via the finishing plate.

The finishing plate may have openings 24 for fastening means, such as screws or the like, such as four openings, one in each corner of the finishing plate (Figure 1), or the fastening may be arranged in another way, for example by means of fastening means behind the finishing plate or parts receiving the fastening means, which may remain completely hidden after installation.

The parts of the finishing plate are described here with reference to the installed finishing plate, — whereby the protruding sleeves 16, 17, 18 remain on the side of the mounting surface, i.e. behind the finishing plate, as illustrated for example in figures 1B and 2B. To the front

N remain the front surface of the finishing plate and the openings at the bushings, into which the water

S fixture pipes can be installed as can be seen in Figures 1B and 2B.

I 30 — In one implementation, the sleeve 18 adapted to receive the tap angle intended for connecting the drainage is conical and tapers away from the finishing plate 10. In this case, the other end of the faucet corner 34, for example the sleeve 2 in it, and/or the drainage pipe installed in the faucet corner 34 and vii-

There is a little space (gap) between the corresponding opening of N stamping plate 10, through which — possible leakage water from the drainage pipe can flow out. The diameter of the sleeve 18 is the smallest at the end of the sleeve, which is on the side of the tap corner 34, and thus the sleeve

kin 18 leaves a smaller gap at this end, possibly very minimal, in which case the leaking water does not try to leak into the structure, such as the wall, but flows out with the help of a conical sleeve to the side of the room or other space, where it can be detected and where it drips onto the waterproofed surface. Between the sleeve 18 and the other end of the drainage tap corner 34, a seal can be installed, such as an elastic ring-like seal, for example a seal comprising or containing rubber and/or silicone, in which case leakage water can be prevented from entering the structure. The seal can be a part of the finishing plate, in which case it is inside the sleeve 18, preferably in a groove on the inner surface of the sleeve 18, or the seal can be a part of the other end of the tap-corner 34, preferably a seal in the groove on the outer surface of the other end, or the seal is a separate part, which can be put in place before or after the installation of the finishing board. The sealant can seal the joint completely watertight, and/or it can fix or lock the gasket plate in place. Similar sealants can also be used to seal water pipe sleeves and tap corners or protective pipes.

Controlling drainage leaks may be necessary in the solutions described here, because the drain pipe is usually installed with a different solution than pressurized water pipes, for example by simply pushing the pipe into the faucet angle connector, and thus the drain pipe installation may detach or leak in some cases.

In one implementation, the sleeve 18 adapted to receive the faucet angle 34 intended for connecting the drainage is longer than the faucet angles intended for connecting the water pipes, or their protective pipes, are received by the two & sleeves 16, 17. This enables the connection of the drainage and possible water

N for better control of spills.

S x In one implementation, the counter of the faucet corner intended for connecting the drainage

I 30, the sleeve 18 adapted to taping is adapted to be positioned around the tap angle 34 intended for connecting the drainage, especially its other end

S around. In this way, the drainage can be installed inside the sleeve 18, especially inside the longer sleeve 2 mentioned, which improves the management of leakage water. Ha-

The N corner 34 is also more accessible after the installation of the finishing plate 10 — for the installation of the drainage pipe.

In one implementation, the plane is surrounded by a border 20 adapted to be placed against the installation surface, which defines the space behind the installed finish plate and where the border has one or more openings 22, 23 to allow the leakage water in the space behind the finish plate to pass through when the finish plate is installed against the installation surface. The edge 20 can go around the edge of the plane, or it can be somewhat inside the edge of the plane, for example 1-3 mm. The border height can be 1-5 mm, such as 1-3 mm or 2-3 mm. The height of the edge 20 is preferably at least the same as the height of the flange of the mounting sleeve 36A, 37A, so that the flange of the mounting sleeve does not prevent the finishing plate from fitting tightly against the mounting surface. The diameter or width of the openings can be, for example, 1-5 mm, such as 2-3 mm. The openings 22, 23 are intended to be left in the lower part of the installed finish plate, so that possible leakage water can leave without hindrance and without delay. — The finishing plate can be made of metal or other suitable material, such as plastic, plastic-fiber composite or similar. The metal can be, for example, steel or a metal alloy containing steel or a composite.

The finishing board can include or consist of the material in question. Advantageously, the finishing board is made of moisture-resistant material, because it is — intended for installation in damp rooms. The finishing board can also be used to create a suitable appearance for the installation, which can affect the choice of materials. The above-mentioned materials can also be used coated, such as painted, patterned and/or otherwise treated. — The present finish plate can be installed by a method comprising & -provided the present finish plate 10,

N -a frame-mounted faucet corner box compatible with the finish plate is offered

S 30, preferably each frame corner tap box comprises two tap corners

N 32, 33 for connecting water pipes and the faucet angle 34 connected to them

After this, the water and drainage pipes of the plumbing fixture can be installed through the openings in the finishing plate to the faucet corners.

Here, the finish plate described is shown installed in connection with a matching framed faucet corner box. The installation is ready to receive the plumbing pipes, and in one example they may be installed in place. Figure 3A shows the finish plate of Figure 1 installed in a compatible frame Faucet corner box 30, where two faucet corners 32, 33 for connecting water pipes are placed at one end into the corresponding sleeves 16, 17 of the finish plate, and the faucet corner 34 connected to them for connecting the drainage is placed at the other end of the finish plate into the corresponding bushing 18. Figure 3B similarly shows the finish plate of Figure 2 installed in a compatible frame Faucet Box 30. As can be seen in Figures 3A and 3B, the drain sleeve 18 fits into, such as against, around, or next to, the sleeve end of the other end of the drain faucet angle 34. so that the other end and/or sleeve is available through the opening 13 for the installation of the drainage pipe. The other end and/or sleeve may have a rubber seal inside to seal the drainage pipe. e]

Example

Finishing plates compatible with the faucet corner box combination 30 shown in Figure 3, which comprises two faucet corner boxes for connecting water pipes and the faucet corner box between them for connecting drainage, were manufactured according to the figures. The faucet corner boxes 32A, 33A, 34A, especially their bodies, are shaped so that they can be connected to each other by sliding the compatible connecting parts in them to each other. — The finishing plate is planar and essentially square, as shown in figures 1 and 2, and has three holes 12, 13, 14 in the plane and sleeves 16, 17, 18 protruding from them for tap corners. In the solutions described in Figure 1, the diameter of all holes 12, 13, 14 was 32 mm. In the solution described in Figures 2 and 3A, the diameter of the drainage hole 13 was larger, so — its diameter was 50 mm.

When the matching frame faucet angle box combination 30 with two faucet angles 32, 33 for connecting water pipes and an intervening faucet angle 34 for drain connection, where their frames/faucet corner boxes 32A, 33A and 34A were combined (Figures 3A-C), was mounted on the wall, and the faucet angles 32, 33, 34 the other ends and the protective tubes 36, 37 surrounding them and the mounting sleeves 36A, 37A connected to these with threads were visible and accessible, the sealing plate could be placed via its sleeves 16, 17, 18 to the tap corners 32, 33, 34 of the tap corner box 30, the mounting sleeves 36A, 37A in, resulting in the installation described in figure 3B or 3C. An annular rubber seal could be placed between the sleeve 18 and the drainage tap angle 34 & the other end. Finishing plate
