Description

DISPOSITIF DE MONTAGE ET DE RACCORDEMENT DE CONDUITES DEVICE FOR MOUNTING AND CONNECTING PIPES
D'INSTALLATIONS SANITAIRES PREVUES EN ARRIERE D'UNE PAROIOF SANITARY FACILITIES PLANNED ON THE BACK OF A WALL
ET PROCEDE CORRESPONDANT.AND CORRESPONDING METHOD.
La présente invention concerne le domaine des installations de distribution d'eau ou des installations sanitaires, en particulier domestiques.The present invention relates to the field of water distribution facilities or sanitary installations, especially domestic.
Il est connu de fixer une robinetterie contre une paroi pleine et de relier cette robinetterie à l'extrémité d'une conduite qui s'étend devant cette paroi. La conduite est alors visible et encombrante. Certaines parois d'habitations comprennent une cloison avant et une cloison arrière écartées l'une de l'autre, entre lesquelles peuvent arriver une ou plusieurs conduites d'eau, en vue de l'alimentation d'une robinetterie. De même, certaines installations de chauffage prévoient une distribution de l'eau chaude par des conduites placées sous les planchers. II a ainsi été proposé des dispositifs pour le montage et le raccordement d'au moins une conduite d'installation sanitaire installée en arrière d'une cloison, comme celui décrit dans le document EP-1 348 815.It is known to fix a fitting against a solid wall and to connect this fitting to the end of a pipe that extends in front of this wall. The pipe is then visible and bulky. Some house walls comprise a front wall and a rear wall spaced apart from each other, between which may be one or more water pipes, for the supply of a valve. Similarly, some heating systems provide for the distribution of hot water through pipes placed under the floors. It has thus been proposed devices for mounting and connecting at least one sanitary installation conduit installed behind a partition, as described in document EP-1 348 815.
Un tel dispositif comprend un élément de raccordement avec une partie arrière destinée à être raccordée à une extrémité libre de la conduite et une partie avant présentant des moyens de raccordement à un autre élément de l'installation, tel qu'une robinetterie.Such a device comprises a connection element with a rear part intended to be connected to a free end of the pipe and a front part having connection means to another element of the installation, such as a fitting.
Ce dispositif comprend une platine métallique avec un passage traversant pour la partie avant de l'élément de raccordement, cette platine étant à la fois fixée sur la partie avant de l'élément de raccordement et contre la face frontale de la cloison. Une telle platine peut également être conçue pour le montage et le raccordement de plusieurs conduites.This device comprises a metal plate with a through passage for the front part of the connecting element, this plate being both fixed on the front part of the connecting element and against the front face of the partition. Such a plate can also be designed for mounting and connecting several pipes.
Des carreaux de faïence peuvent ensuite être collés sur la face frontale de la cloison en recouvrant la platine.Faience tiles can then be glued to the front face of the partition by covering the plate.
Un tel dispositif a apporté satisfaction mais présente certains inconvénients. En particulier, il ne fournit aucun moyen de positionnement de la platine sur la cloison et rend difficile le positionnement de l'élément de raccordement par rapport à la faïence. Il est alors possible que la partie avant de l'élément de raccordement ne débouche pas au niveau d'un joint entre deux carreaux de faïence, ce qui entraîne une découpe compliquée des carreaux. Par ailleurs, les moyens de fixation de la platine nécessitent des outils spéciaux qui sont onéreux. Enfin, la manipulation de la platine métallique est malaisée du fait de son poids et de l'absence de tout moyen pour la maintenir contre la cloison avant sa fixation.Such a device has provided satisfaction but has certain disadvantages. In particular, it provides no means for positioning the plate on the wall and makes it difficult to position the connection element with respect to the earthenware. It is then possible that the front part the connecting element does not open at a joint between two tiles, resulting in complicated cutting of the tiles. In addition, the platen fixing means require special tools that are expensive. Finally, the handling of the metal plate is difficult because of its weight and the lack of any means to hold against the partition before fixing.
L'invention a pour objet de pallier ces inconvénients en proposant un dispositif de montage et de raccordement d'au moins une conduite d'installation sanitaire prévue en arrière d'une paroi, qui est d'une utilisation très simplifiée, tant en ce qui concerne ses moyens constitutifs que les outils nécessaires à sa mise en place, dont le positionnement peut être facilement ajusté avec précision et dont le coût est réduit.The invention aims to overcome these disadvantages by proposing a device for mounting and connecting at least one sanitary installation pipe provided behind a wall, which is of a very simplified use, both as regards its constituent means that the tools necessary for its implementation, whose positioning can be easily adjusted accurately and the cost is reduced.

On se réfère tout d'abord aux figures 1 et 2 qui illustrent deux variantes de réalisation d'un boîtier d'un dispositif de montage et de raccordement selon l'invention destiné par exemple à être fixé dans une paroi d'une habitation.Referring firstly to Figures 1 and 2 which illustrate two embodiments of a housing of a mounting device and connection according to the invention for example to be fixed in a wall of a house.
Ces boîtiers 1 , 2 présentent une forme cylindrique avec une paroi 10, un fond 11 et une face ouverte 12, opposée au fond 11.These housings 1, 2 have a cylindrical shape with a wall 10, a bottom 11 and an open face 12, opposite the bottom 11.
Le boîtier 1 comporte un épaulement 13, dans cet exemple de forme annulaire, qui entoure la face ouverte 12 du boîtier. Le boîtier 2 illustré à la figure 2 ne comporte pas un tel épaulement.The housing 1 has a shoulder 13, in this example of annular shape, which surrounds the open face 12 of the housing. The housing 2 illustrated in Figure 2 does not include such a shoulder.
Sur le fond 11 des boîtiers 1 et 2, sont prévus deux plots 14a et 14b qui servent à la fixation de l'élément de raccordement comme cela sera expliqué dans la suite de la description.On the bottom 11 of the housings 1 and 2 are provided two studs 14a and 14b which serve to fix the connecting element as will be explained in the following description.
De plus, les boîtiers 1 et 2 comportent une ouverture 15 dans la paroi cylindrique 10, du côté opposé aux plots 14a et 14b.In addition, the housings 1 and 2 have an opening 15 in the cylindrical wall 10, the opposite side to the pads 14a and 14b.
Le boîtier 1 illustré à la figure 1 comporte également deux éléments 16a et 16b, en saillie à l'intérieur de la cavité cylindrique du boîtier. Ces éléments 16a et 16b présentent des orifices 19a et 19b qui servent à la fixation d'un couvercle, comme cela sera décrit dans la suite de la description. Le boîtier illustré à la figure 1 comporte également une encoche 17 qui sert au positionnement d'un gabarit, comme cela sera expliqué en référence à Ia figure 6. Les boîtiers illustrés aux figures 1 et 2 sont réalisés d'une seule pièce et ils sont, en pratique, similaires à des boîtiers utilisés pour des montages électriques. En particulier, ces boîtiers sont de préférence réalisés en matière plastique. La matière utilisée doit être résistante. C'est pourquoi, les boîtiers peuvent notamment être réalisés en ABS. Ces boîtiers sont d'un coût de revient très réduit.The housing 1 illustrated in Figure 1 also comprises two elements 16a and 16b, projecting inside the cylindrical cavity of the housing. These elements 16a and 16b have orifices 19a and 19b which serve to fix a lid, as will be described in the following description. The housing illustrated in FIG. 1 also comprises a notch 17 which serves for the positioning of a template, as will be explained with reference to FIG. 6. The housings illustrated in Figures 1 and 2 are made in one piece and they are, in practice, similar to housings used for electrical assemblies. In particular, these housings are preferably made of plastic. The material used must be resistant. This is why the housings can in particular be made of ABS. These boxes are of a very low cost.
Ces boîtiers peuvent par exemple présenter un diamètre d'environ 65 mm.These boxes may for example have a diameter of about 65 mm.
La figure 3 illustre un exemple d'un élément de raccordement pouvant être utilisé pour le dispositif selon l'invention.FIG. 3 illustrates an example of a connection element that can be used for the device according to the invention.
Cet élément 3 comporte une partie arrière 30 destinée à être raccordée à une extrémité libre d'une conduite et donc destinée à rester à l'arrière de la paroi. L'élément de raccordement présente également une partie avant 31 qui, elle, est destinée à faire saillie sur la face frontale de la paroi.This element 3 comprises a rear portion 30 intended to be connected to a free end of a pipe and thus intended to remain at the rear of the wall. The connecting element also has a front portion 31 which is intended to project on the front face of the wall.
La partie arrière 30 est conçue pour pouvoir mettre en œuvre le procédé d'assemblage qui est décrit dans le Brevet EP-1 533 556.The rear part 30 is designed to be able to implement the assembly method which is described in the patent EP-1 533 556.
Bien entendu, d'autres raccords avec la conduite d'une installation sanitaire peuvent être prévus sans sortir du cadre de l'invention. Cependant, ce procédé d'assemblage permet d'assurer une solidarisation mécanique irréversible et il élimine pratiquement tout risque de fuite. Ce type de raccord est donc particulièrement avantageux dans le cadre de l'invention.Of course, other connections with the pipe of a sanitary installation can be provided without departing from the scope of the invention. However, this assembly method ensures irreversible mechanical bonding and virtually eliminates any risk of leakage. This type of connection is therefore particularly advantageous in the context of the invention.
En effet, une fuite éventuelle sera difficilement détectée et sa réparation entraîne des travaux importants, puisque le raccord est situé sur la face arrière de la paroi et n'est donc pas facilement accessible.Indeed, a possible leak will be difficult to detect and its repair requires significant work, since the connection is located on the rear face of the wall and is therefore not easily accessible.
La partie arrière 30 comporte ainsi un embout tubulaire rigide 300 qui est fileté et sur lequel est destiné à être vissé un écrou. Elle comporte également une extrémité 301 de plus faible diamètre pour la connexion à une conduite. La partie avant 31 de l'élément de raccordement présente, à son extrémité, un embout 310 comportant un filetage intérieur qui permettra le raccordement de cette partie avant à un autre élément de l'installation sanitaire, comme une robinetterie.The rear part 30 thus comprises a rigid tubular end piece 300 which is threaded and on which a nut is intended to be screwed. It also has a 301 end of smaller diameter for connection to a pipe. The front portion 31 of the connecting element has, at its end, a tip 310 having an internal thread which will allow the connecting this front part to another element of the sanitary installation, such as a tap.
L'élément de raccordement comporte également deux parties en saillie 32a et 32b destinées à la fixation de l'élément de raccordement sur les plots 14a et 14b illustrés aux figures 1 et 2.The connecting element also comprises two projecting parts 32a and 32b intended to fix the connecting element on the pads 14a and 14b illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2.
La figure 4 représente l'élément de raccordement 3 après son montage et sa fixation dans le boîtier 2.FIG. 4 represents the connection element 3 after it has been mounted and fixed in the housing 2.
Les éléments en saillie 32a et 32b ont été fixés par des moyens appropriés sur les plots 14a et 14b, classiquement des vis. La partie arrière 30 de l'élément de raccordement se trouve ainsi en regard de l'ouverture 15 ménagée dans le boîtier 2.The projecting elements 32a and 32b have been fixed by appropriate means on the pads 14a and 14b, typically screws. The rear portion 30 of the connecting element is thus opposite the opening 15 formed in the housing 2.
On se réfère maintenant à la figure 5 pour décrire le procédé de montage et de raccordement selon l'invention et l'utilisation du dispositif qui vient d'être décrit. La figure 5 illustre une paroi 4 comportant une face frontale ou avant 41 et une face arrière 42. C'est du côté arrière de la paroi (à droite sur la figure 5) que s'étend une conduite d'alimentation en eau, tandis qu'un autre élément de l'installation sanitaire, comme une robinetterie, est situé du côté avant de la paroi (à gauche sur la figure 5). Cette paroi 4 peut par exemple être une plaque de plâtre posée sur un rail ou encore être associée à une autre paroi, un espace vide étant alors ménagé entre la paroi avant 4 et la paroi arrière associée.Referring now to Figure 5 to describe the mounting method and connection according to the invention and the use of the device just described. FIG. 5 illustrates a wall 4 having a front or front face 41 and a rear face 42. It is on the rear side of the wall (on the right in FIG. 5) that a water supply pipe extends, while another element of the sanitary installation, such as a tap, is located on the front side of the wall (on the left in figure 5). This wall 4 may for example be a plasterboard placed on a rail or be associated with another wall, a gap being then formed between the front wall 4 and the associated rear wall.
Dans tous les cas, une conduite 5 d'installation sanitaire sort du sol et s'étend vers le haut à l'arrière de la paroi 4. Cette conduite 5 peut notamment être réalisée en matière plastique et sert à l'alimentation en eau d'un autre élément de l'installation sanitaire, comme une robinetterie. Elle présente typiquement un diamètre de 16 ou 12 mm.In all cases, a sanitary installation pipe 5 leaves the ground and extends upwardly to the rear of the wall 4. This pipe 5 may in particular be made of plastic material and is used to supply water to the water. another element of the sanitary installation, such as a tap. It typically has a diameter of 16 or 12 mm.
Pour procéder au montage et à l'installation du dispositif décrit précédemment, il convient tout d'abord de réaliser un passage traversant 6 dans la paroi 4. Ce passage peut être réalisé à l'aide d'un outil rotatif, comme une scie cloche et ses dimensions, ici son diamètre sont prévues pour être très légèrement supérieures à celles des boîtiersi ou 2.To mount and install the device described above, it is first necessary to make a through passage 6 in the wall 4. This passage can be achieved using a tool rotating, like a hole saw and its dimensions, here its diameter are planned to be very slightly higher than those of the housingsi or 2.
On introduit ensuite l'élément de raccordement 3 dans le boîtier 1 et on le fixe dans Ie boîtier comme illustré à la figure 4. On extrait alors l'extrémité libre 50 de la conduite 5 en la faisant passer, depuis le côté arrière de la paroi 4 vers le côté avant, à travers le passage 6. On peut alors procéder au raccordement de l'extrémité libre 50 de la conduite 5 sur la partie arrière 30 de l'élément de raccordement. Ce raccordement s'effectue aisément, l'installateur n'ayant pas de contrainte de place du côté avant de la paroi qui correspond à une pièce de l'habitation dans laquelle est prévue la robinetterie, par exemple.The connection element 3 is then inserted into the casing 1 and fixed in the casing as illustrated in FIG. 4. The free end 50 of the pipe 5 is then extracted by passing it from the rear side of the casing. wall 4 to the front side, through the passage 6. It is then possible to connect the free end 50 of the pipe 5 on the rear portion 30 of the connecting element. This connection is made easily, the installer having no constraint of place on the front side of the wall which corresponds to a room of the dwelling in which is provided the valve, for example.
Comme indiqué précédemment en référence à la figure 3, ce raccord entre la conduite et la partie arrière 30 est, de préférence, réalisé en utilisant les enseignements du document EP-1 533 556. En effet, un raccord de ce type assure une solidarisation mécanique irréversible entre les deux éléments et élimine donc tout risque de fuite.As indicated above with reference to FIG. 3, this connection between the pipe and the rear part 30 is preferably made using the teachings of document EP-1 533 556. Indeed, a coupling of this type provides mechanical fastening. irreversible between the two elements and eliminates any risk of leakage.
L'étape suivante consiste à introduire le boîtier 1 dans le passage 6, depuis le côté avant de la paroi 4. C'est le fond 11 du boîtier qui est introduit le premier dans le passage, de façon à ce que sa face ouverte 12 débouche sur la face frontale 41 de la paroi 4. Dans l'exemple illustré à la figure 5 où le boîtier 1 comporte un épaulement annulaire 13, le boîtier 1 est introduit dans le passage 6 jusqu'à ce que l'épaulement 13 vienne en appui sur la face frontale 41. L'introduction du boîtier à travers le passage 6 s'effectue aisément, l'installateur réalisant l'opération depuis le côté avant de la paroi. Elle est également simplifiée du fait que le boîtier est réalisé en une seule pièce.The next step is to introduce the housing 1 in the passage 6, from the front side of the wall 4. It is the bottom 11 of the housing which is introduced first into the passage, so that its open face 12 opens out on the front face 41 of the wall 4. In the example illustrated in FIG. 5, where the housing 1 comprises an annular shoulder 13, the housing 1 is introduced into the passage 6 until the shoulder 13 comes into position. support on the front face 41. The introduction of the housing through the passage 6 is easily performed, the installer performing the operation from the front side of the wall. It is also simplified because the housing is made in one piece.
Le boîtier est ensuite fixé sur la face frontale 41 par des moyens de fixation appropriés passant à travers les ouvertures 18 prévues dans l'épaulement 13. Le boîtier se trouve alors dans la position illustrée à la figure 5. Les explications qui précèdent montrent que la fixation du boîtier est assurée uniquement sur la face frontale. D'autres moyens de fixation, notamment sur la face arrière 42 de la paroi sont rendus inutiles. En tout état de cause, la face arrière n'est pas accessible à l'utilisateur.The casing is then fixed on the end face 41 by appropriate fastening means passing through the openings 18 provided in the shoulder 13. The casing is then in the position illustrated in FIG. 5. The foregoing explanations show that the fixing of the housing is ensured only on the front face. Other fastening means, especially on the rear face 42 of the wall are rendered useless. In any case, the back side is not accessible to the user.
Un boîtier tel qu'illustré à la figure 2 sera fixé par scellement.A housing as shown in Figure 2 will be sealed.
L'ordre de ces étapes peut être modifié. Ainsi, on peut prévoir de fixer le boîtier sur la paroi 4 avant de procéder au raccordement de la conduite sur l'élément de raccordement et à la fixation de l'élément de raccordement dans le boîtier.The order of these steps can be changed. Thus, it can be provided to fix the housing on the wall 4 before proceeding to the connection of the pipe on the connecting element and the fixing of the connecting element in the housing.
De préférence, Ia face ouverte 12 du boîtier 1 est fermée par un couvercle 7 qui sera décrit en référence à la figure 6. Ce couvercle comporte une ligne prédécoupée 71. Grâce à cette ligne 71 , une simple pression du doigt permet de libérer un passage 72 pour la partie avant 31 de l'élément de raccordement.Preferably, the open face 12 of the housing 1 is closed by a cover 7 which will be described with reference to FIG. 6. This cover comprises a pre-cut line 71. With this line 71, a simple pressure of the finger makes it possible to free a passage 72 for the front portion 31 of the connecting element.
Le couvercle 7 peut ensuite être fixé sur le boîtier 1 grâce à des moyens de fixation passant à travers les ouvertures 73a et 73b prévues dans le couvercle et dans les ouvertures 19a et 19b des éléments en saillies 16a et 16b du boîtier 1.The cover 7 can then be fixed on the housing 1 by means of fixing means passing through the openings 73a and 73b provided in the cover and in the openings 19a and 19b of the projecting elements 16a and 16b of the housing 1.
On peut alors déposer une couche 43 de ciment-colle contre la face frontale 41 de la paroi 4, puis coller des carreaux 44 de faïence ou de carrelage sur cette couche 43. La longueur de la partie avant 31 de l'élément de raccordement est choisie de telle sorte qu'elle dépasse légèrement des carreaux de faïence 44, après leur fixation sur la paroi 4.A layer 43 of cement-glue may then be deposited against the front face 41 of the wall 4, then glue tiles 44 of earthenware or tiles to this layer 43. The length of the front portion 31 of the connecting element is chosen so that it slightly exceeds the earthenware tiles 44, after their attachment to the wall 4.
La figure 6 illustre les boîtiers d'un dispositif de montage et de raccordement selon l'invention destiné à deux conduites situées toujours en arrière d'une paroi.Figure 6 illustrates the housings of a mounting device and connection according to the invention for two pipes always located behind a wall.
Dans ce cas, une condition supplémentaire est de respecter l'écartement entre deux entrées d'un élément de l'installation sanitaire, par exemple une robinetterie commune à deux robinets.In this case, an additional condition is to respect the spacing between two inputs of an element of the sanitary installation, for example a common faucet faucets.
Pour cela, aux deux boîtiers 1 déjà décrits en référence à la figure 1 , est associé un gabarit 8. Ce gabarit comporte les couvercles 7 associés à chaque boîtier et déjà décrits en référence à la figure 5, ainsi qu'une tige 80 reliant ces deux couvercles 7.For this, to the two housings 1 already described with reference to Figure 1, is associated a template 8. This template comprises the covers 7 associated with each housing and already described with reference to FIG. 5, as well as a rod 80 connecting these two covers 7.
De préférence, la tige 80 est légèrement surélevée par rapport aux couvercles 7 pour permettre la pose d'un outil de mise à niveau.Preferably, the rod 80 is slightly raised relative to the covers 7 to allow the installation of a leveling tool.
La longueur de cette tige 80 est choisie de telle sorte que l'écart entre les passages 72 définis par les lignes prédécoupées 71 correspondent à l'écartement voulu entre les deux entrées de la robinetterie commune. Le gabarit est utilisé de la façon suivante.The length of this rod 80 is chosen such that the distance between the passages 72 defined by the precut lines 71 correspond to the desired spacing between the two inputs of the common valve. The template is used as follows.
Il est appliqué contre la face avant 41 de la paroi 4 illustrée à la figure 5, à la hauteur désirée pour la sortie des conduites. Les zones de perçage des passages 6 et des ouvertures 72 sont alors marquées sur la face avant de la paroi à l'aide du gabarit 8. L'identification sur les couvercles 7 des passages 72 par lesquels sortiront les éléments de raccordement permettent à l'utilisateur de positionner au mieux ces ouvertures 72 par rapport aux carreaux de faïence. En effet, il est intéressant de positionner ces ouvertures 72 au niveau de joints entre les carreaux pour éviter le perçage de ces carreaux qui est une opération délicate.It is applied against the front face 41 of the wall 4 illustrated in FIG. 5, at the desired height for the exit of the pipes. The drilling zones of the passages 6 and the openings 72 are then marked on the front face of the wall with the aid of the template 8. The identification on the covers 7 of the passages 72 through which the connecting elements leave will allow the user to better position these openings 72 relative to the tiles. Indeed, it is interesting to position these openings 72 at joints between the tiles to prevent drilling of these tiles which is a delicate operation.
Avec ce dispositif particulier, le procédé est ensuite mis en œuvre comme cela a déjà été décrit en référence à Ia figure 5.With this particular device, the method is then implemented as already described with reference to FIG. 5.
Lorsque les couvercles doivent être placés sur les boîtiers, la tige 80 est cassée au niveau de lignes d'affaiblissement 81 , ce qui permet de libérer les deux couvercles. L'évidement 17 prévu sur l'épaulement 13 du boîtier, permet de positionner le couvercle sur le boîtier 1.When the covers must be placed on the housings, the rod 80 is broken at weakening lines 81, which allows to release the two covers. The recess 17 provided on the shoulder 13 of the housing makes it possible to position the cover on the housing 1.
Par ailleurs, le dispositif selon l'invention permet le raccordement de robinetterie mais aussi le raccordement d'un radiateur. Dans ce dernier cas, deux boîtiers sont utilisés, un boîtier servant pour l'entrée de l'eau provenant d'une chaudière et l'autre de sortie pour l'eau ayant circulé dans le radiateur. Le dispositif et le procédé selon l'invention peuvent être utilisés non seulement pour des conduites prévues à l'arrière d'une paroi verticale, mais également pour des conduites passant sous un plancher. Ainsi, pour des installations de chauffage, le raccordement d'un radiateur peut se faire au niveau d'une paroi, comme pour une robinetterie, soit par le plancher, le dispositif selon l'invention étant alors par exemple fixé sur le treillis de la dalle de béton.Furthermore, the device according to the invention allows the connection of valves but also the connection of a radiator. In the latter case, two housings are used, a housing serving for the entry of water from a boiler and the other outlet for the water circulating in the radiator. The device and method according to the invention can be used not only for pipes provided at the rear of a vertical wall, but also for pipes passing under a floor. Thus, for heating installations, the connection of a radiator can be done at a wall, as for a valve, or by the floor, the device according to the invention then being for example fixed on the lattice of the concrete slab.
Dans le cadre de l'invention, le terme paroi pourra désigner aussi bien une paroi verticale, comme une cloison, qu'une paroi horizontale, comme un plancher. •In the context of the invention, the term wall may designate both a vertical wall, as a partition, a horizontal wall, as a floor. •
Le procédé et le dispositif selon l'invention sont d'une mise en œuvre simplifiée, nécessitent un minimum d'outils et sont donc accessibles à des non-professionnels. En pratique, ils permettent la distribution d'eau à l'intérieur d'une habitation de la même façon qu'est réalisée la distribution de l'électricité.The method and the device according to the invention are of a simplified implementation, require a minimum of tools and are therefore accessible to non-professionals. In practice, they allow the distribution of water inside a house in the same way that is done the distribution of electricity.
