Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to a so-called unit type water supply facility represented by a unit bath, a unit washbasin, and a unit kitchen.

[Conventional technology]

Taking the unit bath as an example of the unit type water supply facility, the faucet that is integrally connected to the faucet of the unit bath is provided at a certain location,
A water supply pipe extending from the body wall is connected to the faucet.

However, in this plumbing work, the connection work is done by using the inspection port of about 30 cm square provided in the unit bath, but the unit bath and the water supply pipe extending from the body wall are not uniform, and the piping Workability is extremely poor.

For this reason, it is necessary to accurately set in advance the positional relationship between the structure of the unit bath and the rise of the pipe from the body wall, but this advance work is also difficult.

On the other hand, depending on the structure of the unit bath, some faucets have multiple faucet taps. In this case, piping work may not be possible from one inspection port, and structural improvements have been required. .

It is also a fact that this inspection port was not very preferable from the viewpoint of the design of the unit bath.

Furthermore, if water leaks occur after piping,
It was extremely difficult to find the leak point from this small inspection port, and it was also difficult to repair it.

[Issues to be solved by the device]

In view of the above facts, the present invention has an object to provide a unit-type water supply facility that allows piping without providing an inspection port for work on the unit body.

[Means for solving the problem]

The present invention has a connection pipe that is attached to the outer surface of the unit body under the floor and to which a water supply pipe is connected, and a connection pipe that connects the faucet faucet provided in the unit body and the connection pipe. It has a feature.

[Action]

In the unit-type water supply facility of the present invention, the connecting pipe to which the water supply pipe is connected is installed under the floor and on the outer surface of the unit body, so an inspection port is provided in the unit body, and piping work is not performed from this inspection port. However, the water supply pipe can be easily connected to the connection pipe, and the piping work is completed. In addition, it is not necessary to use the inspection port of the unit body for inspection and repair of the connection state, which facilitates the inspection. Since the inspection port can be eliminated, the design is also excellent.

Further, since the connecting pipe connecting the faucet faucet and the connecting pipe can be uniformly installed in the factory when the unit equipment is assembled, workability is improved. Further, since the water pressure test of the connecting portion between the connecting pipe and the connecting pipe and the connecting portion between the faucet faucet and the connecting pipe can be performed in the factory, the reliability of the pipe is improved.

〔Example〕

FIG. 1 is a plan view of a unit bath using the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a sectional end view of a main part thereof.

The bathtub 1 is connected to a washing space 2 to form a unit body. A rotary faucet 3 is erected on the edge of the bathtub 1, and the faucet rims 4 and 5 can adjust the supply amounts of cold water and hot water supplied to the faucet 3.

Water of a desired temperature and amount flows out from the faucet 3 at the rims 4 and 5, and faucet ports 8 communicate with the back sides of the rims 4 and 5, respectively, and project inside the edge of the bathtub 1.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the unit bath floor 14
On the lower side and near the outer periphery of the floor 14, the connecting pipe 10 is supported by bolts or the like. One end of the connecting pipe 10 is directed to the bathtub 1 side, and a pipe joint 15 is attached to it.

The other end of the connecting pipe 10 faces the outside of the unit equipment,
The other end is a connection port 16 to which a water supply pipe (not shown) extending from the building body or the like is connected.

The faucet port 8 and the connecting pipe 10 are preliminarily factory-made with the flexible resin pipe 1
Preliminary piping by 2 and 13. That is, the faucet opening 8 is connected to one end of the flexible resin tubes 12 and 13.
The flexible resin tubes 12 and 13 pass inside the edge of the bathtub 1,
It is bent in the middle and further passes under the floor 14, and the other end is connected to the pipe joint 15.

Work to support the connecting pipe 10 on the lower side of the floor 14, and the faucet 8
Since the work of preliminarily piping between the pipe joint 15 and the pipe joint 15 by the flexible resin pipes 12 and 13 is performed in advance in the factory, workability is good. In addition, since the water pressure test of the connection between the water faucet 8 and the pipe joint 15 and the flexible resin pipes 12 and 13 can be performed in the factory, the reliability of the pipe against water leakage and the like is improved.

At the installation site of the unit bath, the piping is completed by simply connecting the water supply pipe extending from the building frame to the connection port 16 at the other end of the connection pipe 10, so the water supply pipe can be extended to the faucet port 8 as in the past. It is not necessary to connect the water supply pipe to the faucet port 8 through the narrow inspection port. Therefore, the piping work is much easier than in the past.

As a matter of course, the method of connecting the water supply pipe to the connection port 16 may be a conventionally known method.

In this way, the connection pipe 10 is provided under the floor 14 of the unit bath and near the outer periphery of the floor 14, and at the installation site, the work is completed simply by connecting the water supply pipe to the connection port 16. Not only can the man-hours at the factory be extremely shortened, but the inspection port can be eliminated, resulting in an excellent design.

Although not shown, when there are a plurality of faucets or a shower port, the flexible resin pipe can be branched by any means to easily correspond to the plurality of faucets and shower ports. It is possible.

In addition, a bellows pipe, a sheath pipe such as an asbestos heat insulating pipe, etc. may be provided in advance between the faucet faucet and the connection port to protect the flexible resin pipe passing through the pipe or to keep the heat insulating function. It is possible.

Further, although the straight type connecting pipe 10 is used in this embodiment as shown in FIG. 3, an elbow type connecting pipe 11 may be used as shown in FIG.

Although the above description has been made with the flexible resin pipe, it is needless to say that the faucet faucet and the connection port may be connected with each other by a metal pipe in some cases.

[Effect of device]

The present invention has the above-described configuration, and since the piping of the unit type water supply facility is assembled and completed in the factory, not only the leak test of the piping is perfect but also the connection port is arranged under the floor and outside of the unit body. As a result, the piping from the body wall becomes extremely simple, and there is an excellent effect that the work process at the installation site is significantly shortened.
