  • the plurality of valves are preferably controllable solenoid valves.
  • the control can take place via a signal line which leads into the housing.
  • the inspection opening is closed by a removable protective plate.
  • a removable protective plate On the one hand, this enables a simple and reliable revision as well as a high degree of protection for the multiple valves in a flush-mounted installation.
  • an electronic control unit for controlling the plurality of valves is arranged on the protective plate.
  • the electronics are particularly secure protected and on the other hand also very easy and quickly accessible.
  • the electronics can be connected to a central controller. For example, in a building having a plurality of such devices, they may be controlled via a central controller be.
  • the valves can be connected directly or via the electronics to this central controller.
  • the invention also relates to a piping system with at least one device of the type mentioned.
  • This piping system has at least one loop or a series line, the device is arranged in such a piping system in each case at the last point of the loop or series line. For flushing such a loop or series line then only such a device is required.
  • the devices are mounted on the basis of an installation plan. As a result, in particular the number of necessary devices can be kept to a minimum.
  • the Figures 1 and 2 show the inventive device 1 in the mounted and connected state. How the particular FIG. 1 shows, the device 1 is connected to a pipeline system 2, which has a first pipe 3 and a second pipe 4.
  • the pipeline 3 is, for example, the pipeline for cold water and the pipeline 4 for hot water.
  • the lines 3 and 4 can Be series line or ring lines.
  • the device 1 is in each case at a last point of the line.
  • this has a housing 13 which has opposite side walls 13c, in which on the outside four grooves 12 are arranged. Each groove receives a holder 11, which is connected for example with a plug connection with a mounting bracket 10.
  • These mounting brackets 10 are screwed onto a plate 8, for example a wooden plate.
  • This wooden plate 8 is fastened with fixing means 9 to side plates 7 and these in turn to a mounting frame 5 or other mounting device or directly to a building wall.
