Reference numeral 3 denotes a wall panel and a waterproof pan, 3 denotes an outdoor device such as a bubble device and a purification device disposed outdoors, and 7 denotes a bathtub disposed inside the bathroom unit 3. The installation of the outdoor equipment 6 outdoors is advantageous in that it is easier to secure moisture resistance and eliminates the effects of unpleasant vibrations than when it is installed indoors in the bathroom unit 3. It is. However, in this case, since the hot water in the bathtub 7 is circulated by the outdoor equipment 6, the outdoor equipment 6
Need to be connected to the bathtub 7 via the connection pipe 12. Therefore, conventionally, a window frame-shaped outer wall opening 10 and a smaller-sized bathroom opening 11 are formed on the outer wall 1 of the house and a part of the wall panel 4 of the bathroom unit 3, respectively. At the same time, in order to insert the connection pipe 12 through each of the openings 10 and 11 and to ensure waterproofness in each of the openings 10 and 11, each of the openings 10 and 11 is closed. Screw the FRP or stainless steel outer wall waterproof cover 14 and bathroom waterproof cover 15
7 is attached. Accordingly, in this case, the outer shape of the outer wall waterproof cover 14 is larger than the outer wall opening 10, and the outer shape of the bathroom waterproof cover 15 is smaller than the outer wall opening 10 and larger than the bathroom opening 11. Each of the waterproof lids 14 and 15 has an insertion hole 1 for the connection pipe 12.
4a and 15a are formed. In the work of connecting the outdoor equipment 6 to the bathtub 7, first, the connection pipe 12 is connected to the outer wall opening 10 from the outdoor side.
And through the interior of the bathroom opening 11, respectively, and connected to a bathtub pipe 22 previously attached to the bathtub 7 with a nut 23 or the like. Subsequently, the connecting pipe 12 is passed through the insertion hole 15a of the bathroom waterproof cover 15 outdoors, and the bathroom waterproof cover 1
5 is passed through the outer wall opening 10 and attached to the periphery of the bathroom opening 11 of the wall panel 4 with screws 17. Subsequently, the outer waterproof cover 14 is used outdoors.
The connection pipe 12 is passed through the inside 14 a of the through hole, and the outer wall waterproof cover 14 is attached to the outer edge of the outer wall opening 10 with the screw 16. Finally, a pipe 20 provided in the outdoor equipment 6 is connected to the connection pipe 12 with a nut 21 or the like. By the way, in the above-mentioned bathroom structure, even when the outdoor equipment 6 is connected to the bathtub 7 by using the connection pipe 12, the outer wall 12 of the house and the wall panel of the bathroom unit 3 are connected. Although each of No. 4 can ensure waterproofness, there are the following problems. The wall panel 4 is formed by bonding a tile 4b or the like to a surface of a substrate 4a such as a gypsum board on the bathroom side. Therefore, the humidity and moisture in the room of the bathroom unit 3 are usually waterproofed by the tiles 4b of the wall panel 4, but when the bathroom opening 11 is formed in this wall panel 4, the inner peripheral surface thereof The substrate 4a is exposed as it is. Moreover, in the prior art, since the bathroom waterproof cover 15 is attached to the outside of the wall panel 4, the board 4a of the wall panel 4
The portion of the inner peripheral surface where is exposed is in a state of directly facing the indoor side. Therefore, when moisture in the room of the bathroom unit 3 penetrates into the space surrounded by the wall panel 4 and the waterproof pan 5 below the bathtub 7 through a caulking gap of the bathtub 7, the moisture is removed. It adheres to the inner peripheral surface of the substrate 4a where the bathroom opening 11 is exposed. When the substrate 4a is made of a material such as a gypsum board having a water absorbency, it is absorbed by the material, and the wall panel 4 is deteriorated. Further, even when the wall panel 4 is made of a PVC steel plate, there is a problem that moisture adheres to the substrate 4a and the wall panel 4 is deteriorated in the same manner as described above. Even if a sealing material or the like is applied to the inner peripheral surface of the bathroom opening 11 where the substrate 4a is exposed, the wall panel 4 is surely prevented from deteriorating because it does not have the water resistance and moisture resistance unlike the tile 4b. It is difficult. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and it is intended to prevent deterioration of a wall panel in a bathroom opening and to reliably maintain waterproofness for a longer period than before.
