Abstract

A flexible pipe connected to both the inlet and outlet of a domestic radiator enables the radiator to be removed from walls without the need for disconnecting and draining of a heating system to enable decorating behind the radiator, i.e. painting and removing or hanging of wallpaper. The flexible pipes may be reinforced to withstand the same water pressure as standard copper pipe. The flexible hoses may be tucked behind the radiator so that they would not be seen from the front. The radiator when removed from its brackets may be laid flat on the floor, supported on furniture or placed on a stand.

Description

Flexible radiator pipe 2402733 The invention is a flexible pipe, or hose,
which would be fitted to both ends of a domestic radiator ( at the inlet and outlet connections).
This would enable the relatively easy removal of radiators from walls, without the need to disconnect them, thus being particularly useful when decorating a room - especially when painting and removing/ hanging wallpaper. No fittings would have to be undone or adjusted on the radiator, or water drained from the system - thus eliminating the possibility of creating air locks or leaks; as is the case with the present procedure of removing them.
The pair of flexible pipes or hoses, thus fitted to each radiator would need to be reinforced, to be capable of withstanding the same water pressure as normal ( copper) pipework. The pipes would be a permanent fixture ( if required) and in order to be visually acceptable, they would be so designed so that the majority of the pipework would be unseen from the front, as they would tuck behind the radiator (see diagram no. 1). This would give the radiator hardly any noticable appearance to that of one with conventional fittings.
The pipes would be approximately 30-40 Centimetres in length, allowing the radiator the necessary flexibility to be simply removed from its slotted wall brackets ( see diagram no. 2), similarly to conventional radiators. Once removed, the radiator could then be laid flat on the floor or safely supported by furniture. Alternately, placed on a special stand, or apparatus which could either be supplied by the radiator manufacturer, or bought at a reasonable price. The stand however, which is not part of this invention, would need to be separately designed.
Diagram no. 3 shows a radiator with conventional fittings. While diagrams 4 and 5, shows detail of the flexible pipe design.
Principally, the main purpose of the flexible radiator pipe/ hose design is to allow easy access to areas of walls behind radiators, which are extremely dffcult to reach when decorating a room, without having to resort to the inconvenience of plumbing.

Claims (7)

1. A flexible pipe that is fitted to both the water inlet and the water outlet connections of a domestic radiator.
2. A pipe as claimed in Claim 1 that is therefore fitted in pairs on each radiator.
3 A pipe as claimed in Claim 1 or Claim 2 that is fitted in addition to any previous plumbing.
4. A pipe as claimed in Claim 1 or Claim 2 or Claim 3 where it would be made of a suitable material to render it watertight.
5. A pipe as claimed in any preceding claim where it would be made of a suitable material to withstand a given water pressure, in accordance with any required regulations.
6. A pipe as claimed in any preceding claim where it would be of adequate length for its task.
7. A flexible pipe substantially herein described and illustrated and in its functional role in the accompanying drawings.
