Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 9-144083

In general, furniture with a water tank such as a vanity is installed such that the back surface of the furniture comes into contact with a building wall. Therefore, when a vanity having a water tank and a standing wall standing on its back side is arranged so that its back surface comes into contact with the building wall, the water supply pipe is placed between the standing wall of the vanity and the building wall. It will be arrange | positioned in the clearance gap formed.

  In order to shorten the distance between the building wall and the standing wall and to make the vanity compact, it is preferable to make the gap small. However, if the gap is reduced, the water supply pipe must be routed through the small gap after the rear face of the vanity is placed in contact with the building wall. Therefore, as in Patent Document 1, it is very difficult to pull out the end of the water supply pipe from the through hole of the standing wall to the front side. In particular, a water supply pipe to which a so-called primary pressure is applied is often a pressure hose that can withstand high pressure because of safety requirements, and it is difficult to ensure sufficient flexibility for handling. If the end of the pressure hose having poor flexibility is pulled out from the through hole to the front side, the operation becomes more difficult.

As a method for facilitating the installation work of the water supply pipe, it is considered that the water supply pipe is previously arranged on the back side of the standing wall of the bathroom vanity before installing the bathroom vanity in contact with the building wall. It is done. This is because the installation work of the water supply pipe is performed in a sufficient work space before installing the vanity.

However, according to laws and regulations, only those who have a predetermined qualification (persons who are qualified for waterworks) can perform the operation of arranging the water supply pipe so that water can be supplied from the water supply pipe. In some cases, the vanity of the bathroom vanity does not go through a qualified person for waterworks, and the installation contractor who installs the vanity (unqualified person for waterworks) and the distributor who installs the water supply pipe (qualified for waterworks) Often) are different. In such a case, the installer first carries the vanity to the site, and once the vanity is brought into contact with the building wall, it is fixed. At a different timing from the fixing work, the installer removes the screws fixing the vanity to the building wall, pulls the vanity away from the building wall, and then installs the water pipe. The vanity must be re-fixed against the building wall.

In order to avoid the troublesome work as described above, the water supply pipe is passed from the front side to the through-hole of the standing wall portion without moving the vanity that has been installed in contact with the building wall by the installer. A method of arranging the water supply pipe in the gap between the standing wall portion and the building wall can be considered. However, in this method, there is a possibility that the inserted water supply pipe interferes with the building wall and damages the building wall. That is, when a pressure hose is used for the water supply pipe as described above, when a pressure hose with poor flexibility is inserted into the through hole from its end, the end strongly interferes with the building wall, There is a risk of scraping.

The present invention has been made in view of such a problem, and the purpose thereof is to damage the building wall even if the furniture with a water tank such as a vanity is still fixed to the building wall. An object of the present invention is to provide a method of attaching a faucet device to furniture with a water tub, which can be easily attached.

In order to solve the above-described problem, the water faucet attachment method to the furniture with aquarium according to the present invention includes a standing wall that is erected so that the rear surface faces the building wall with a gap, A counter provided with a water tank provided on the front side for receiving water, and a faucet device attached to the standing wall, the faucet device comprising a water supply pipe for supplying water, a hot water supply pipe for supplying hot water, and a water supply A hot-water and water-mixing faucet that mixes hot water and water to be supplied and connected to the pipe and the hot-water supply pipe, and at least one of the water-feeding pipe and the hot-water supply pipe is a pressure hose, The jig used to attach the water supply pipe and the hot water supply pipe to the building wall is connected to the front end of the water supply pipe and the hot water supply pipe, and the water supply pipe and the hot water supply pipe are connected to the building wall so that the front ends of the water supply pipe and the hot water supply pipe do not contact the building wall. Down along the wall A first step of attaching the counter directly or indirectly to the building wall, and a water supply pipe and a hot water supply pipe to which a jig is attached to a through hole formed in the standing wall. And a second step of inserting from the front side, and a third step of pushing in the water supply pipe and hot water supply pipe inserted from the through hole from the front side so as to be arranged on the back side of the standing wall. .

1st invention attaches a counter to a building wall, 1st process, 2nd process which inserts the water supply pipe and hot water supply pipe which attached the jig into the through hole formed in the standing wall from the front side, and a through hole A faucet device mounting method including a third step of pushing from the front side so that the water supply pipe and the hot water supply pipe inserted from the front side are disposed on the back side of the standing wall, and the water supply pipe inserted from the through hole and A cover member is attached to the hot water supply pipe, and the progress of the water supply pipe and the hot water supply pipe is not hindered even when the hot water supply pipe contacts the building wall. Therefore, even if at least one of the water supply pipe and the hot water supply pipe is a pressure-resistant hose with poor flexibility, the first to third simple steps are arranged on the back side of the standing wall without damaging the building wall, The faucet device can be easily attached from the front side of the standing wall.
For this reason, even if the installer who installs furniture with water tanks is different from the installer who arranges water supply pipes and hot water supply pipes, after the installer installs furniture with water tanks, Arrangement work can be performed without moving attached furniture.

  Further, in the first to third steps, unlike the known technique, the end of each of the water supply pipe and the hot water supply pipe is not required to be drawn out from the rear side of the standing wall to the front side. Since it is not necessary to connect the water faucet and the hot and cold water mixing tap at the installation site, the faucet device can be easily attached.

  The second invention is characterized in that the jig has a guide surface that guides the water supply pipe and the hot water supply pipe to the lower side on the back side of the standing wall when contacting the building wall. Since the jig has a guide surface, even when the water supply pipe and the hot water supply pipe are pushed in from the front side of the vertical wall to come into contact with the building wall in order to be arranged on the back side of the vertical wall, the water supply pipe and the hot water supply pipe are connected. Since it can guide below, a faucet device can be attached easily.

The third invention is characterized in that the guide surface is formed symmetrically with respect to the central axis of the mounting surface for attaching the water supply pipe and hot water supply pipe of the cover member to the jig. If the position where the water supply pipe and hot water supply pipe are attached to the jig is fixed, if the installation position is incorrect, the jig must be removed and then reattached. This reduces work efficiency. However, the guide surface is symmetrically formed with respect to the central axis of the mounting surface where the water supply pipe and the hot water supply pipe are attached to the jig. It can be installed without being aware of the connection position of the piping and hot water supply piping. Therefore, there is no mistake in the installation, damage to the building wall that may occur due to a mistake in the installation can be prevented, and the faucet device can be easily attached to the furniture with a water tank.

  The furniture with aquarium of the fourth invention has a cabinet below the counter, the cabinet has a rear horizontal beam that supports the back plate facing the building wall, and the jig has a rear horizontal beam. It is characterized by having a guide surface for getting over and guiding down. In the process of inserting a water supply pipe and a hot water supply pipe connected with a jig so as to be along the building wall, there is a risk of interfering with the rear side rail supporting the back plate and hindering the progress of the water supply pipe and the hot water supply pipe. By providing the guide surface on the jig, the jig can move over the rear side rail and proceed downward, so that the work can be performed efficiently.

ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the attachment method of the faucet apparatus to the furniture with a water tank which can attach a faucet apparatus easily can be provided, without damaging a building wall.
