Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a faucet box used for installing faucets and for attaching corrugated pipes.

Conventional technology When piping hot water supply pipes through corrugated pipes called pod pipes, the corrugated pipes are usually guided to the installation point of the faucet installed on the floor, wall, panel, tree, etc., and then installed there. It is designed to be connected and supported by the hydrant box. Fig. 4 shows an example of this, in which a hydrant box 1 is attached to the back side of a panel 2 via a mounting plate 3, and a corrugated pipe 4 with an O-ring attached to the end of the pipe is inserted into the cylindrical part. and is fixed with a stopper 5. The hot water pipe 6 passed through the corrugated pipe 4 is pulled out from the panel 1 through the hydrant box 3, and then a faucet elbow 7 is attached to the end of the pipe.After installation, the faucet elbow is pushed into the hydrant box 3 and the flange Tightening is fixed with a ring 8. In the figure, 9 is a faucet attached to the faucet elbow 7.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention The above-mentioned corrugated pipe has the function of keeping the hot water supply pipe warm, serving as a guide when passing the hot water supply pipe, and preventing leakage of water from the joint of the faucet elbow to the outside. However, one problem is that in order to create a watertight structure between the cylindrical part of the hydrant box and the pipe end of the corrugated pipe, there is a problem.
Since the ring is attached, it is difficult to push the corrugated pipe into the cylindrical part while pulling it out.

The second problem is that it cannot be used with corrugated pipes of different sizes. During piping construction, it becomes difficult to insert the main pipe if the length of the corrugated pipe is long, the construction distance is long, or there are many bent pipes.

Therefore, in such cases, it is desirable to use a corrugated pipe with a large diameter, and it is desirable to use a corrugated pipe of the necessary size depending on the construction distance and degree of bent piping. It is not possible to install corrugated pipes of different sizes, and if you want to use corrugated pipes of different sizes, you will have to replace the hydrant box.

The third problem is that the flange ring used to attach the faucet elbow, as shown, protrudes from the wall and forms a step with the faucet spout, which is typically flush with the wall. If the hot water supply faucet and the water faucet are integrally connected to the mounting plate, it will not be possible to mount the faucet exactly to the wall surface.

Therefore, the first object of the present invention is to enable easy installation of corrugated pipes to a hydrant box, and the second object is to enable corrugated pipes of different sizes to be installed. It is in.

A third object of the present invention is to enable construction flush with a wall surface.

Means for Solving the Problem In order to achieve the first objective, the hydrant box is such that at least the cylindrical attachment part into which the pipe end of the corrugated pipe is fitted is split in half so that it can be opened and closed. configured. In other words, an O-ring is attached to the end of the pipe, and the inside has a cylindrical attachment part into which the end of the corrugated pipe through which the main pipe is passed fits, and is attached to the back side of floors, walls, panels, trees, etc. In the hydrant box that is attached to the hydrant box, at least the cylindrical mounting part is split in half so that it can be opened and closed.The hydrant box can be used not only for hot water pipes but also for water pipes at the same time. be. Therefore, the term "main pipe" includes not only hot water pipes but also water pipes.

In order to make the attachment part openable and closable, it is preferable to connect one half to the other half by a hinge, or to make it detachable and detachable, for example.

The hydrant box for achieving the second purpose has an O-ring attached to the end of the pipe, and a cylindrical mounting part into which the end of the corrugated pipe through which the main pipe is passed fits. However, in a water faucet box that is attached to the back side of a floor, wall, panel, tree, etc., the cylindrical attachment part is configured so that the diameter gradually decreases from the insertion opening.

In this hydrant box as well, it is desirable that at least the mounting portion be split in half so that it can be opened and closed.

To achieve the third purpose, the hydrant box has an O-ring attached to the end of the pipe, and a cylindrical fitting part into which the end of the corrugated pipe through which the main pipe is passed is fitted. In a faucet box that is attached to the back side of a floor, wall, panel, tree, etc., the faucet elbow is restrained by a fixing ring and has a storage part, and the fixing ring is It has a shape that does not restrict axial movement relative to the wall.

In a faucet box in which the attachment part can be opened and closed, after opening the attachment part, the end of the corrugated pipe with the O-ring attached is attached to one half of the attachment part. Then cover the other half and close and connect.

In a faucet box where the diameter of the attachment part changes in stages, the end of the corrugated pipe is pushed until it hits the attachment part. This allows the pipe end of the corrugated pipe to be attached to a location corresponding to its size.

The ring that fixes the faucet elbow is not restricted in the axial direction by the wall, so it can be installed flush with the wall surface.

The hydrant box of the embodiment consists of a box body 1) a and a lid 1) b, which are split in half in the axial direction. Plug elbow 12
A storage section 13 and a cylindrical attachment section 15 to which the tube end of the corrugated tube 14 is attached are formed.
The mounting part 15 has a large diameter part 15a and a small diameter part 15b on the insertion port side.
It consists of The faucet elbow 12 attached to the storage part 13 is held down by a fixed ring 16 fitted to the main body 1)a, and is held in a fixed state by being sandwiched between the lid 1)b. The end faces of the fixing ring 16 and the faucet elbow 12 are made flush with the wall surface by spacers 20 for adjusting the wall thickness.

This hydrant box is constructed as described above, and its construction is normally carried out as follows.

First, drill a circular hole 18 in the wall 17, apply the box body 1)a from the back side of the wall 17, and insert the fixing ring 16 from the front side.
into the hole 18 and fit onto the box main body 1)a, position the main body 1)a against the wall 17, and install the spacer 20 so that the fixing ring 16 is flush with the wall surface. . Next, fix the four sides of the main body 1) a with set screws.

5 and 6 show examples of other installations of the box body 1)a.
are arranged in parallel and the mounting bracket 22 is fixed to the tree 23, and then the box main body tta is fixed to the mounting bracket 22 with a set screw. Further, in FIG. 6, a tree 25 is provided on the upper side, and the above-mentioned mounting bracket 22 is fixedly attached to this.

After installing box body 1) a as above,
The pipe end of the corrugated pipe 14 with the ring 19 fitted thereon is fitted onto a part of the main body corresponding to its size.

Next, cover the lid 1) b and assemble it to the main body 1) a, and secure the four sides with set screws. As a result, the corrugated pipe 14
The tube ends are hugged and fixed. Thereafter, the hot water pipe passed through the corrugated pipe 14 is pulled out from the front of the wall through the faucet box and then attached to the faucet elbow 12, and after installation, it is pushed into the box and tightened with a fixing ring 16 to fix it.

Effects of the Invention The present invention is configured as described above, and has the following effects.

According to the faucet box of claim 1, the end of the corrugated pipe with the 01J ring attached is fixed by hugging, which is different from the conventional method of pushing the end of the corrugated pipe into the cylindrical attachment part while pulling out the corrugated pipe. Compared to this, installation work is easier.

In the faucet box according to the second aspect, corrugated pipes having different diameters can be attached.

According to the faucet box according to claim 3, since it can be made flush with the wall surface, when supplying hot water to a water supply pipe, there is no difference in level between the mouth of the faucet, which is often flush with the wall surface, and the water supply faucet box is flush with the wall surface. Even a faucet in which the faucet and the faucet are integrally connected to a mounting plate can be tightly mounted on a wall surface.

According to the faucet box according to the fourth aspect, it becomes easy to attach the corrugated pipe.

In the faucet box according to the fifth aspect, the faucet elbow and the corrugated pipe can be easily attached.
