Problems that we are trying to solve> By the way, when replacing walls when renovating a building, etc., or even in a newly constructed building, what is the wall thickness? In the case of the conventional faucet box mentioned above, if the thickness of the new wall becomes thicker than the thickness of the old wall, the tip of the horizontal pipe part of the faucet elbow will be retracted from the front of the wall, making it difficult to thread the fastener. This makes it impossible, and a faucet elbow with a longer V-pipe length corresponding to the increase in wall thickness is required. Therefore, the faucet elbow has to be replaced. However, to replace a faucet elbow, disconnect the connection between the rear end of the water supply pipe and the header, pull out the old faucet elbow from inside the faucet box in front of the wall, remove this old elbow from the water supply pipe, and replace it with a new one. Attach the elbow, then pull the water supply pipe back from the header side, store the new installed elbow in the faucet box, add a pipe to the rear end of the water supply pipe and reconnect it to the header, or, It is necessary to replace the water supply pipe with a new pipe of a specified length, which requires considerable effort. On the other hand, if the thickness of the new wall becomes thinner than that of the old wall, it can be adjusted by interposing a smoother between the back of the wall and the front of the faucet box, but if the back of the box touches the wall base, Once this is done, no further adjustment is possible, and there is usually only a small amount of space left on the back of the faucet box, so the range of adjustment is narrow. The purpose of the present invention is to separate and reconnect the connections between water supply pipes and headers, as well as between water supply pipes and faucet elbows, when replacing walls with ones of different thickness, or when walls are thick in new buildings. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a faucet box to which a faucet, etc. can be connected without the need for a faucet. <Means for Solving the Problems> The faucet box according to the present invention has holes on the back side of the wall provided with the holes.
A box with a hole in the front is fixed at a position where both holes are aligned, a faucet elbow attached to the end of the pipe is fixed in the box, an auxiliary joint is screwed to the horizontal pipe part of the elbow, The tip of the auxiliary joint protrudes from the front surface of the wall through both of the holes, the decorative board is inserted through the protrusion, and the decorative board is pressed against the front of the wall by a tightening fitting screwed onto the outer surface of the tip of the auxiliary joint. This is an ellipse characterized by the rear end of the collar being screwed into the tip of the auxiliary joint.

<Sakukawa> According to this Yokoaru, even if the wall thickness changes, by changing the length of the auxiliary rib joints according to the wall thickness, changes in wall thickness can be coped with simply by replacing the auxiliary joints, and therefore, This can be done simply by preparing several types of auxiliary rib joints of different lengths. <Description of Examples> Examples of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
