Definitions
- This invention relates to a water supply system and particularly. to a novel form of piping through which water is supplied and a novel arrangement of piping to
- the invention is applicable both to domestic and industrial water supplies but
- Supply pipe work on premises i.e within the boundary of the property, is usually the responsibility of the owner of the premises, not the water supplier whose responsibility ends at the boundary of the property.
- shared supplies can be a source of problems of metering and of access and responsibility when supply problems such as leakage or bursts
- the invention is not limited to use in domestic supply systems and is equally useful in shared supplies to industrial locations, e g in industrial sites and buildings that are divided into a number of separate
- the invention provides a water supply system comprising piping to a building in which the piping is connected underground to
- the piping emerges from underground adjacent the building, is attached to and runs up a wall of the building and enters the building above ground level to connect into the water supply infrastructure
- the wall may be an exterior wall of the building and the piping may run up the exterior of the wall In a domestic property, the piping may enter the roof space,
- the piping depending on the climatic conditions of the location, may need to be insulated to prevent water freezing therein and it may also be encased in an
- exterior sheath may give the piping the appearance of a guttering downpipe, i e so as to fit in with the general appearance of the exterior of the property
- the invention provides a length of water piping
- the outer tube may be of substantially rigid plastics material, e g pvc, to simulate a plastics downpipe Alternatively, it may be for example, of aluminium or of cast iron to simulate downpipes of those materials
- the piping may be attached to the wall by any conventional fittings of
- the inner pipe may be of any suitable material, e g plastics or metal, that meets the necessary standards of the water supply regulations Thus, it may be rigid semi-rigid or flexible
- the intermediate insulation layer may be a proprietary foam pipe insulation
- the composite piping of the invention may be assembled by any convenient means Thus, for example, it may be factory assembled by fitting a length of annular insulation material around a length of the inner piping and then introducing the composite so formed into the outer tube Alternatively, the insulation material may be formed in-situ between the inner pipe and outer tube or it may be formed in-situ around the inner pipe and the composite so formed then introduced into the outer tube
- the piping may instead be assembled in situ, i e during installation at a particular property, which may have the advantage of enabling each of the three
- the composite piping of the invention therefore, is robust and designed to cope
- a protective U- section cover could be fixed over the piping to protect it, e g from vandalism, for the first two or three metres of its rise from the ground
- the arrangement provided by the present invention has significant advantages It can readily be retro-fitted to an existing supply system by connection, as
- the invention can be fitted to new supply
- exterior-underground position may, if the exterior sheathing is not used, be
- the supply arrangement of the invention may also
- a wall box on the exterior wall carrying the piping the box containing a
- Figure 1 is a diagrammatic illustration of a piping arrangement of the invention supplying water to a property
- Figure 1 a is an illustration in plan view of a shared supply application modified according to the invention.
- Figure 2 is a perspective view of a composite pipe of the invention.
- FIG. 1 a house 10 with roof 11 , roof space 12, and front and rear exterior
- Pipe 15 is joined to a pipe 15A of the invention just below surface level 17.
- Pipe 15A is positioned adjacent wall 13 and is attached to and runs up that wall to the eaves 18. Underneath the eaves the pipe 15A is turned through about 90° and is connected by a T-junction 19 to the old supply pipe 20 into the water tank 21 in the roof space 12.
- Old supply pipe 20 runs down through the house and goes underground at the
- a terraces of houses 10 is supplied from mams 16 and
- the arrangement is neat, unobtrusive, easy to install and easy to service
- Figure 2 shows a particularly suitable composite pipe 15A for use in the arrangement of Figure 1 It comprises an inner plastics pipe 24, which has some flexibility in long runs, a surrounding microporous expanded plastics material
- insulation layer 25 and an outer tube 26 of rigid plastics material which visually
- Year-round ground supply of water can be provided, for example, in gardens, garden centres, market
- the pipe may for example break through the brickwork of a gable end or, if there is no soffit board as such, break through the brickwork under the gutter, or perhaps even pass over and around the gutter to enter via a roof slate
- the piping of the invention after exit from the ground may enter a building wherever it is most convenient to do so
