Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to accommodations for plumbing fittings. More specifically, the present invention relates to water closet fittings for use in connecting water closets to plumbing systems.
  • a common method for installing water closets involves forming a channel through a concrete floor upon which a water closet is to be installed.
  • the channel accommodates fluid connection means for connecting the water closet to a waste pipe of a plumbing system.
  • Various methods are used for forming such channels through concrete floors.
  • concrete is poured around either a cast-in-place channel device or a sleeve.
  • the channel is formed after pouring the concrete floor by core drilling through the concrete floor to form the channel.
  • a water closet flange is installed near an inlet end of the channel.
  • the water closet flange is typically sealed to an inlet end of a waste pipe and secured to the concrete floor with fasteners drilled into the concrete.
  • the water closet flange provides a stabile platform for anchoring a water closet to the floor and placing the water closet in fluid communication with a waste pipe of a plumbing system.
  • the waste pipe Before placing a water closet in fluid communication with a waste pipe, the waste pipe is typically pressurized to check for leaks in the waste pipe or associated plumbing system. To allow the waste pipe to be pressurized, the inlet end of the waste pipe is sealed off. This is typically accomplished by sealing a water closet flange equipped with a sealing means, such as a pressure cap, to the waste pipe. Alternatively, a plug may be positioned inside the waste pipe.
  • Water closet flanges are often installed early in a structure's construction process to allow waste pipes and/or associated plumbing systems to be pressurized and checked for leaks. Such installations and testing often occurs before any partition walls, or other notable landmarks, have been constructed inside the structure, which can make it difficult to align the water closet flange for subsequent proper orientation of a water closet on the flange. Although most water closet flanges offer some degree of flexibility for orienting water closets relative to the water closet flange, the alignment of a water closet flange dictates the general orientation of its water closet. As a result, care must be taken when installing a water closet flange to avoid an incorrect alignment, which will be costly and time-consuming to correct.
  • the present invention is directed to a method for placing a water closet flange in fluid communication with a waste pipe of a plumbing system.
  • the method includes providing a channel, and capping the channel with a water closet fitting. Concrete is poured around the channel to form a floor thereabout. An inlet end of the waste pipe is sealed to the water closet fitting. A cap portion of the water closet fitting is removed to permit fluid flow through the water closet fitting and into the waste pipe. A water closet flange is sealed to the water closet fitting.
  • the present invention is directed to an adaptor insert for placement inside a channel body to allow a water closet flange to be mounted relative to the channel body after pouring a concrete floor around the channel body.
  • the adaptor insert includes a cap mountable on an end of the channel body.
  • the cap includes a removable, pressure-resistant cap portion that, upon removal, permits fluid flow through the cap.
  • An annular mating surface is attached to the cap and adapted to extend inside the channel body.
  • the present invention is directed to a water closet fitting for placement inside a channel body providing a passage through a concrete floor of a structure.
  • the water closet fitting includes a flow path having an inlet adapted to sealably mate with a collar of a water closet flange and an outlet adapted to sealably mate with a waste pipe of a plumbing system.
  • a cap is attached to the flow path adjacent the inlet and sized to seal off the flow path.
  • the cap includes a removable, pressure-resistant cap portion that, upon removal, permits fluid flow from the inlet to the outlet.

  • Channel body 16 includes annular sidewall 18 that defines passage 20 having inlet 22 and outlet 24.
  • sidewall 18 of channel body 16 includes a series of bands 26 which may be selectively removed to alter the length of passage 20.
  • channel body 16 This variable length feature allows channel body 16 to be installed in floors of different thickness. Further description of channel bodies similar to channel body 16 is included in U.S. Pub. No. 2004/0016190.

  • removable cap portion 40 is removed from cap 32, and thus inlet 36 is unsealed, which allows fluid to flow through water closet fitting 30 from inlet 36 to outlet 38.
  • Removable cap portion 40 is connected to rim 42 by frangible connection
  • Frangible connection 44 is a line of weakness in cap 32 that may be formed by any means known in the art including, for example, scoring, notching, creasing, and molding or machining cap 32 to have a reduced thickness region.
  • Frangible connection 44 allows removable cap portion 40 to be dislodged from cap 32 to unseal inlet 36, yet, while unbroken, serves to sealably connect cap portion 40 to rim 42.
  • removable cap portion 40 includes optional ribs 46 to impart additional strength to removable cap portion 40.
  • removable cap portion 40 includes one or more rockers 47 (or other protrusions) on its underside adjacent frangible connection 44 to facilitate removal of removable cap portion 40 from inside water closet fitting 30 after breaking frangible connection 44.

  • Collar 34 extends from cap 32 and includes exterior surface 50 and interior surface 52. As shown in FIGs. 3-4, exterior surface 50 of collar 34 includes optional ribs 56, which impart additional strength to collar 34. Water closet fitting 30 is configured so that collar 34 extends inside passage 20 of channel body 16 when cap 32 is secured to channel body 16 (see, e.g., FIG. 9). Interior surface 52 of collar 34 includes annular mating surface 54 formed to mate with a waste pipe or other plumbing device positioned within channel body 16. In an alternate embodiment, exterior surface 50 includes an exterior annular mating surface formed to mate with a waste pipe.
  • FIGs. 6 and 7 show riser body 60 for mating with water closet fitting 30 to form an aggregate water closet fitting, with FIG. 6 showing a bottom perspective view of riser body 60 and FIG. 7 showing a sectional view of riser body 60 taken along line 7-7 of FIG. 6.
  • Riser body 60 includes sidewall 62 that has annular interior surface 64 and annular exterior surface 66.

  • collar 34 of water closet fitting 30 Prior to pouring concrete floor 96 around channel body 16, collar 34 of water closet fitting 30 is first inserted into inlet end 22 of channel body 16 and positioned inside passage 20. Water closet fitting 30 is then secured relative to channel body 16 by mechanically engaging inlet end 22 by an interference friction fit therebetween. This is accomplished by mechanically engaging rim 42 with inlet end 22 so that snap connectors 48 secure rim 42 to inlet end 22. Concrete is then poured around channel body 16 to form concrete floor 96. Cap 32 of water closet fitting 30 prevents concrete from entering passage 20. Once the concrete has cured, both water closet fitting 30 and channel body 16 are anchored in place by concrete floor 96.
