  • the insert includes elements for 2,811,574 10/1957 Guerrero....
  • the present invention relates to an outlet for subfloor and concealed installations, which outlet comprises a tubular hollow body that is closed during the pouring of the concrete or flooring plaster by a stopper which can be removed when the concrete or flooring plaster has hardened.
  • a pipe section forms one piece with the upper wall or cover of the sub-floor passage.
  • Screwed onto said last mentioned pipe section is a further pipe section of which that end which is remote from the passage is closed by a screw-in stopper.
  • This object has been realized according to the present invention by having a tubular insert insertable into the hollow body, which insert engages the inner side of the hollow body by a bead only.
  • the outlet according to the invention it is no longer necessary to align the upper edge of the hollow body prior to the pouring of the concrete or flooring plaster with the finished surface of the poured concrete or flooring plaster. It is merely necessary with the arrangement according to the invention that the upper edge does not protrude beyond the concrete or flooring plaster surface.
  • the aligning is, in conformity with the invention, effected after the concrete or flooring plaster has hardened, by means of the tubular insert.
  • This tubular insert is inserted into the hollow body and its upper edge can easily be aligned in the plane of the concrete or flooring plaster surface because the bead by which the insert engages the hollow body will, within wide limits, make possible any desired position of the two subjects relative to each other. After aligning the insert, it is for arresting the same merely necessary to fill the gap between the hollow body and the insert with an adhesive.
  • annular element is mountable on the hollow body by means of a recess provided on its upper end face.
  • the outlet can be adapted without difficulties to any desired length.
  • the insert has a groove in which a mounting may be placed whereby the upper end of the insert can easily be adapted to different requirements.
  • the mounting may be connected in the groove by protrusions.

  • the ring or annular element 7 may be of different height whereby in conformity with the invention the length of the outlet connection can be slightly varied.
  • protrusions 9, 10 are respectively provided on the outside thereof.
  • insert 11 Inserted into the hollow body 1 or ring element 7 which both have the same inner diameter there is an insert 11 which, by means of a bead 12, preferably of a circular profile engages in a clamping manner, the inner side of said bead 12.
  • the insert 11 has a groove 14 in which a mount 13 with engaging protrusions 17 is mounted.
  • This mounting 13 serves as support for a closure, for instance, a cover 15 or a nonillustrated tap.
  • the insert 11 rests by means of a bead 12, in other words, along a line only against the inner side of the hollow body 1 or ring element 7.

  • a box member according to claim 1 in which said insert comprises axial apertures therein, a further memher having protrusions receivable in said apertures, said protrusions having offset ends for engaging said insert at one axial end of the apertures to hold the further member on the insert.
  • a box member according to claim 1 in which the side wall means of said box member includes radially outwardly extending protrusion means for fixing the box member in the material which encases said tubular body.
  • a box member according to claim 1 in which said end wall of said box member is adapted for being pierced to provide access from the box member into said tubular body.
  • A-box member according to claim 1 which includes adhesive material in between means forming said annular space between said side wall means of the box member and said tubular insert, said adhesive material being disposed between said bead and the open end of the box member, said adhesive material fixing said tubular insert to said box member.
