【００１７】Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for connecting a connection fitting attached to a heat source unit installed outdoors and a connection fitting attached to a bathtub installed in an indoor bathroom. The present invention relates to a connection tool for a bathtub connection fitting to be used. 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when connecting a heat source device installed outdoors and a bathtub installed in a bathroom with a wall interposed therebetween, two workers sandwich the wall of the bathroom inside and outside. Divided, outside workers hold the connection pipe on the heat source unit side through the hole drilled in the wall and hold it through the bathtub side, another worker has the connection pipe on the bathtub side, inside and outside workers communicate with each other At present, the connecting pipes are held while being joined. [0003] Therefore, in order to perform this connection work, at least two workers must work separately outdoors and indoors, and work efficiency and work costs are reduced. There was a problem in point. [0004] The present invention has been developed in view of the above points, and its object is to connect a heat source unit installed outdoors and a bathtub installed indoors by a connecting pipe.
An object of the present invention is to provide a connection tool for a bathtub connection fitting which can be easily and quickly performed by one worker. [0005] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has the following configuration. That is, a plurality of slits having a predetermined length from one end of the cylindrical body are formed at predetermined intervals on the circumference of the cylindrical body, and a protrusion is formed on an outer surface of a bending portion formed between the slits. . In the connecting tool for a bathtub connection fitting having the above-described configuration, the tip end portion of the tubular body formed with the slit is attached to the bathtub outside connection fitting provided on the side wall of the bathtub from outside the bathtub. Insert. Then, the attached connection tool side is inserted from outside into the outer wall of the bathroom and the hole formed in the bathtub, and the connection tool is positioned in the bathtub. After doing this, the inside of the bathtub is attached to the above-mentioned hole of the bathtub from the inside of the bathtub, and then, at a predetermined location of the inside of the bathtub fitting that is attached to the bathtub with this tool, the outside of the bathtub fitting with the connecting tool is attached. At a predetermined position, the connecting tool is turned to screw the connection fitting outside the bathtub into the connection fitting inside the bathtub to connect the two connection fittings. After the connection, the projection of the connecting tool is detached from the bathtub outer connecting fitting, and the connecting tool is removed from the bathtub outer connecting fitting. An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of one embodiment according to the present invention,
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional explanatory view showing a state before connection between a bathtub connecting fitting and a connecting tool for a bathtub connecting fitting, FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional explanatory view showing a state where a connecting tool for a bathtub connecting fitting is connected to the bathtub connecting fitting,
FIG. 4 is an explanatory sectional view showing a use state of an embodiment according to the present invention. In the drawing, reference numeral 1 denotes a connecting tool for a bathtub connection fitting (hereinafter referred to as a tool 1) according to an embodiment of the present invention. The tool 1 has a cylindrical body 2 having an outer diameter slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the inner tube portion a of the bathtub outer connection fitting A (see FIG. 4).
Consists of A flange 3 is formed at the rear end of the cylindrical body 2, and ten slits 4 having a length of about several centimeters are formed on the circumference of the cylindrical body 2 at predetermined intervals at a front end side. is there. The intervals between the slits 4 are large and small, and the slits 4 are formed so that large and small intervals can be alternately formed. By forming the slit 4 in the cylindrical body 2, the slit 4
The portion in between is deflected by pushing inward. A protrusion 6 having a triangular cross section is formed on the outer surface near the base of each of the bent portions 5 having a large interval in which the slits 4 are formed. Each of the projections 6 is formed on the same circumference of the cylindrical body 2 and has a bathtub outer connection fitting A (FIGS. 2 and 3).
(See FIG. 2). A case where the connecting tool 1 for a bathtub connection fitting is used will be described. This connecting tool for bathtub fittings 1
Is a construction in which a tub C installed in a bathroom in an indoor X and a heat source device D installed in an outdoor Y beside the bathroom are connected by a tub outer connection fitting A and a tub inner connection fitting B via a wall E. Used when performing construction. First, when the worker is outside, the connection fitting A outside the bathtub is used.
The tip of the tool 1 is inserted into the internal pipe part a of FIG. At this time,
Since the diameter of the tip 8 of the protrusion 6 formed on the same circumference of the cylindrical body 2 is larger than the inner diameter of the inner tube portion a, the bent portion having the protrusion 6 formed when the tool 1 is inserted into the inner tube portion a. 5 is bent inward, and the tip 8 of the projection 6 is inserted into the inner pipe part a while sliding on the inner surface of the inner pipe part a. The projection 6 of the tool 1 inserted into the inner pipe portion a
Engages with the O-ring groove 7 of the inner tube portion a, and the tip 8 of the projection 6 fits into the gap between the O-ring 9 and the O-ring groove 7 to connect and fix the tool 1 to the inner tube portion a. can do. With the tool 1 attached to the bathtub outer connection fitting A, the flange portion 3 side of the tool 1 is inserted into the bathtub C from the hole e of the wall E and the hole c of the bathtub C, and The part 3 is located in the bathtub C. After doing so, the worker enters the indoor bathtub C from the outside, and enters the hole c of the bathtub C from inside the bathtub.
The bathtub inside connection fitting B is fixed to the tub, and the part close to the flange portion 3 of the tool 1 is grasped by hand, and the bathtub outside connection fitting A is held.
Is moved together with the tool 1 to screw the female screw portion f of the bathtub outer connection fitting A into the male screw portion b of the bathtub inner connection fitting B attached to the bathtub C. Then, the connection fitting A outside the bathtub is screwed to the connection fitting B inside the bathtub, and both connection fittings A and B are connected by one worker. After the connection, the projection 6 is easily disengaged from the O-ring groove 7 by bending the bending portion 5 of the tool 1 inward, and the tool 1 can be easily removed by pulling the tool 1 backward. As is clear from the above description, the connecting tool for a bathtub connection fitting of the present invention has a simple structure, and by using this tool, two workers can be used conventionally. The installation of a connecting pipe connecting the outdoor heat source unit and the indoor bathtub, which had to be carried out by cooperation, can be easily and quickly performed by one worker,
Work costs can be significantly reduced. [0017]
