Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To install an water supply socket to an existing house relatively easily though conventionally the socket is not installed because a stud or furring strip for fixing a coupler easing is not installed easily at a predetermined posi tion or the work of peeling off the existing floor or wall for laying a new water supply pipe is often required. SOLUTION: In a piping system for supply water constituted to supply water from a header to each water use fittings, resin pipes are communicated and coupled to the header for branching the supply water supplied from a supply water supply pipe to a plurality of water use fittings, a case supporting fittings is fixed to the rear of a wall and a coupler casing communicated and coupled with the resin pipes to the water use fittings are coupled to the case supporting fittings.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for installing a water supply outlet. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method of installing a water supply outlet which can be installed at a desired location for a water supply / hot water supply outlet used for an existing building such as a general house, an apartment house or a commercial building by a sheath pipe header method.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in buildings such as newly-built ordinary houses, apartment houses, commercial buildings, etc., piping or other fluid conduit members for water surrounding units are used from the viewpoint of corrosion resistance, earthquake resistance, workability, and the like. In addition, flexible resin tubes are frequently used. This is called the so-called sheath pipe header method. By this method, the coupler casing of the water-using device is fixed to a stud or a pier fixed at an arbitrary position, and further, a resin pipe extending from a header having a water dividing function is connected to and connected to a faucet fitting in the casing. It has been proposed to install water use equipment (water supply outlets).

[0003]

However, the conventional water supply outlet is intended for a newly-built house, and even if the water supply outlet is to be installed at a desired location, a stud or a stud for fixing the coupler casing at that position is required. In many cases, water outlets were not installed in existing houses because piers were not placed or floors and walls were removed to install water supply pipes. In view of the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a method for relatively easily installing a water supply outlet at a desired place even in an existing house.

[0004]

In order to solve the above problems, according to the present invention, a resin pipe is communicatively connected to a header for branching water supplied from a water supply pipe into a plurality of water use appliances. In a water supply piping system configured to be able to supply water from a header to each water use device, a case support is fixed to the back of the wall, and a coupler casing in which a resin pipe is connected to the water use device is connected to the case support. It is characterized by:

[0005] Therefore, even in an existing house, by adopting the sheath pipe header method, it becomes possible to install a water supply outlet at a desired place, so that a spacious water use space can be realized.

[0006] Further, the present invention is characterized in that a shower device in which a resin pipe is connected and connected to the inside of the coupler casing is connected, so that it can be deployed outdoors such as a veranda.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be specifically described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is an external perspective view when a water supply outlet 1 is installed. A water supply outlet 1 with a decorative plate 3 fitted thereto is installed on the front surface of a wall 2, and the periphery of the water supply outlet 1 is covered with a cover 5 from above a floor surface 4. In the figure, 6 is a projection provided on the decorative board,
Reference numeral 7 denotes a flow rate adjusting knob for adjusting a flow rate to a connected body (not shown) connected to the valve body, and 8 denotes a valve body configured to be able to discharge water when the connected body is connected.

FIG. 2 is an external perspective view of the water outlet 1 when the decorative plate 3 is removed, and FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view of the water outlet 1. As shown in FIG. 3, the water supply outlet 1 is fitted into a wall 2 of a house, and accommodates a water discharge pipe functioning as a water discharge part and a flow control valve 11 inside a rectangular box-shaped coupler casing 9, The decorative plate 3 is covered on the front surface of the coupler casing 9. The water supply outlet 1 is provided with a flow control valve 11 at a terminal water outlet 13 of a water pipe (resin pipe) 12 connected to a header (not shown).
And a water discharge pipe 10 is connected to the flow rate control valve 11 so that a distal end of the water discharge pipe 10 protrudes from a protrusion 6 formed in the decorative plate 3. In the figure, 14 is a connector for connecting the flow control valve to the water pipe, 15 is a quick fastener for connecting the water pipe section and the connector,
16 is a water leak receiving device for receiving water leak near the connecting device;
Is a frame. Although the decorative plate 3 is described as being separate from the coupler casing 9 in FIG. 3, the decorative plate 3 may be integrally formed with the coupler casing 9 as shown in FIG.

In the water supply outlet 1, a cylindrical insertion port 18 is formed at the lower right side of the coupler casing 9, and the outer peripheral portion of the insertion port 18 communicates the terminal end of the sheath tube 19 in a sealed manner. The water pipe 12 is inserted through the opening 18.

[0010] The coupler casing 9 is formed so that the bottom portion 20 is inclined downward toward the front center portion, and the drainage gap 2 is formed at the lowermost portion.
1 when the water leaks at the connection between the water discharge pipe 10 and the flow control valve 11 housed inside the coupler casing 9, the bottom 2 of the coupler casing 9.
Water is discharged from the drainage gap 21 at the center of the zero. Therefore, when the water user operates the flow rate control knob 7, the occurrence of water leakage is immediately noticed visually. In addition, it is also possible to accommodate a water leak detector inside the coupler casing 9, and to sound an alarm from the water leak detector when water leak occurs.

FIG. 4 is a partial front view when the cover 5 of the water supply outlet is removed. An outline of a method of installing the water supply outlet 1 will be described. (1) A water pipe 12 connected to the header is provided in a place where the water supply outlet 1 may be installed in the future. In this case, the water pipe 12 is not used until the installation of the water supply outlet 1 is completed. Therefore, for example, it is necessary to close the open / close valve provided on the header and stop the water supply. In addition, even in an existing house in which the water pipe 12 is not disposed in advance, the water pipe 1 can be easily placed at a desired place by using the sheath pipe header method as compared with the case of the metal pipe.
2 can be provided. (2) Remove the wall where the water supply outlet 1 is to be newly installed. (3) The protection cover 22 is erected on the back of the wall 2. The protective cover has a substantially U-shape as shown in FIG.
Are provided with a cover fixing hole 24 for fixing the cover 5 and a wall fixing hole 25 for fixing the protective cover 22 to the wall 2. Therefore, the protective cover 22 is inserted into the cutout portion of the wall 2 and the protective cover 22 is attached to the wall 2 using bolts or the like.
Is fixed. (4) The case support member 26 shown in FIG.
