Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a plan view partially showing a state in which a faucet is attached to a wall panel using a faucet attachment according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In the figure, a faucet 1 is attached to a faucet attachment 4 fixed to a wall panel 3 via a connector 2. The faucet 1 is a thermostatic water / water mixer tap.
The water supply port 11 and the hot water supply port 12 are provided with a water stopcock 21 as a water stoppage means.
And a coupling nut 2 with a built-in strainer 22 as a foreign matter removing means, and is screwed with a cap nut 23. Connector 2
Are screwed to the water supply side connection portion 41 and the hot water supply side connection portion 42 of the faucet mounting device 4 by cap nuts 43, 43, respectively. The inlet 24 and the outlet 25 of the connector 2 are eccentric.

Here, the structure of the faucet attachment 4 will be described. The faucet attachment 4 is a plate-like plate portion 44 as a surface member that is exposed and attached to the surface side of the wall panel, and a water supply side connection that is connected to the water supply side communication tool 2 formed on the front side of the plate portion 44. A hot water supply side connecting portion 42 connected to the portion 41 and the communicating device 2 on the hot water supply side, a water supply side coupling portion 45 connected to a water supply pipe formed integrally with the plate portion 44 on the back side of the plate portion 44, and a hot water supply tube connected thereto. It comprises a hot water supply side joint portion 46 and nuts 47 as fixing means for fixing the plate portion 44 to the wall panel. Water supply side connection part 41
A water supply passage 48 is provided in communication with the water supply side joint portion 45, and the hot water supply side connection portion 42 and the hot water supply side joint portion 46 are provided.
Is provided with a hot water supply passage 49 communicating therewith. The plate portion 44, the water supply side joint portion 45, and the hot water supply side joint portion 46 are integrally formed of metal or resin. However, the plate portion 44, the water supply side joint portion 45, and the hot water supply side joint portion 46 are formed as separate members, and are pressed. It may be integrated by caulking, welding, or fitting.

[0010] The hot water supply side connection portion 42 connects the female screw portion 50 and the cap nut 42 provided on the plate portion 44 to the plate portion 44.
Fixing member 51 and sealing member 52 rotatably attached to
It consists of. The water supply side connection part 41 has the same structure as the hot water supply side connection part. The hot water supply side joint portion 46 is provided with a male screw 53 at a distal end portion for connecting to a water supply pipe. A male screw portion 54 for screwing the nut 47 is provided on the plate portion side. The water supply side joint 45 has the same structure as the hot water supply side joint 46.

Next, the mounting order will be described. First, the water supply side joint portion 45 and the hot water supply side joint portion 46 of the faucet fitting 4 are passed through the holes 31, 31 of the wall panel 3 from the surface side of the wall panel 3, and the plate portion 44 is brought into contact with the surface of the wall panel. The faucet attachment 4 is fixed to the wall panel 3 by screwing a nut 47 to the male screw portion 54 from the back side of the panel 3. Next, a water supply pipe and a hot water supply pipe are screwed to the male screw 53 of the water supply side joint 45 and the hot water supply side joint 46 on the back side of the wall panel 3.
On the front side of the wall panel, the connectors 2 and 2 are screwed to the water supply side connection portion 41 and the hot water supply side connection portion 42 with the cap nuts 42 and 43, respectively, so that the connection members 2 and 2 are fixed to the faucet attachment 4. I do. Further, the faucet 1 is fixed to the connecting tools 2 and 2 by screwing the water supply port 11 and the hot water supply port 12 of the faucet 1 with the cap nut 23.

The connecting tools 2 and 2 may be attached to the faucet 1 first, and the connecting tools 2 and 2 may be fixed to the faucet mounting tool 4. In the case of this embodiment, the water supply port 11 and the hot water supply port 12 of the faucet 1
And the dimensions of the water supply side connection portion 41 and the hot water supply side connection portion 42 of the faucet attachment 4 are different. Also, in the case of a thermostatic hot and cold water mixing faucet, the water stopping means and foreign matter removal are provided in front of the faucet 1. Although it is necessary to provide means, the connecting tools 2 and 2 are interposed, but the connecting tools 2 and 2 are not necessarily provided. Normally, the two-valve hot-water mixing faucet is larger in size than the thermostatic hot-water mixing faucet in water supply port 11 and hot water supply port 12 and does not require any water stopping means. Tool 4 can be connected. The same can be applied when a faucet is attached to the upper surface of the counter.

As a means for fixing the faucet attachment 4 to a wall panel or the like, a wood screw 55 or the like may be screwed into the wall panel from the surface side of the plate portion 44 as shown in FIG. That is, any means can be used as long as the faucet attachment 4 can be fixed to a wall panel or the like.

FIG. 3 shows a state in which flexible water supply and hot water supply pipes 61 and 62 are connected to the water supply side joint portion 45 and the hot water supply side joint portion 46 of the faucet fixture 4. In this case, since the construction error of the piping can be absorbed, the construction becomes easier. In particular, when the faucet is attached to the wall panel 3 of the unit type bathroom, the flexible water supply pipes 61 and 62 are made long so that they pass under the floor pan 7 of the bathroom at the faucet attaching position. Water supply side joint 4 of faucet fixture 4 fixed to 3
5 and flexible water supply pipes 61 and 6 to the hot water supply side joint 46.
After connecting one ends of the two, the wall panel 3 is erected on the rising portion 71 of the floor pan 7 and the ceiling panel is installed on the wall panel to form a bathroom. After constructing the bathroom, a faucet is attached to the faucet fixture 4 fixed to the wall panel 3, and the other ends of the flexible water supply pipes 61, 62 are connected to water supply / hot water supply pipes provided in the building frame. This completes the construction of the faucet.

Therefore, the wall 8 and the wall panel 3 of the building frame are
Even when the space is narrow, the construction is simplified, and the construction of the unit bathroom and the construction of the piping can be performed separately, so that each construction company does not perform the construction at the same time, and the construction can be adjusted easily.
