For example, the one shown in FIG. 9 is a JIS B 2063 single-port air valve for water supply established in Japanese Industrial Standards. The air valve 50 has a valve box 55 attached to a fastening flange 52 of a T-shaped pipe 51 as a water supply pipe via a lower fastening flange 53 of the air valve 50 and a repair valve (water stopcock) 54. The lower end opening 56 of the valve box communicates with the inside of the T-shaped pipe 51, and a float 57 having an apparent specific gravity of 1 or less, which is housed in the valve box 55 and can freely move up and down and functions as a valve body, is provided with a water level in the valve box 55. It rises and descends in conjunction with the fluctuation, and opens and closes an air hole 60 provided in an elastic valve seat 59 fixed to the center of an upper lid 58 that closes an upper end opening of the valve box 55. The fastening flange 52 of the T-shaped pipe 52 of the air valve 50 described above.
When mounting to the flange 53, a male screw 61 tapered at the lower end opening small diameter part of the valve box 55 so that the tip has a small diameter is attached to the flange 53.
In order to form a tapered shape in the female screw hole 64 for valve mounting, the screw 63 is screwed. The flange 53 of the air valve 50 is fastened to the flange portion 52 of the T-shaped pipe 51 with a bolt nut 65.

If the screwing amount is small, the mounting strength is affected. In addition, since the position of the center of gravity of such an air valve 50 is relatively high, when an external load such as an impact is applied to the air valve 50, or when vibration occurs in the water pipe of the T-type pipe 51 due to an earthquake or other causes. The inertia causes the air valve 50 to sway, and loosening of the mounting and bending force concentrate on the mounting part, causing water leakage at the screwed part and damage to the male screw 61 and the female screw 63 at the part. May come off.

In the lower fastening flange 7, rubber ring 5, rubber ring retainer 6, and valve box 2 of the air valve 1 provided as shown in FIG. 2A, the hollow cylindrical portion of the valve box 2 into which the diameter increasing jig 15 is inserted. 4
A rubber ring presser 6 is fitted into the rubber ring 5 from below.
(See the same figure (b)). Next, by operating the above-described diameter expanding device, the valve box 2 and the diameter expanding jig 15 are simultaneously lowered and gradually inserted from the lower end of the rubber ring 5 into the mounting hole 8. The part 11 comes into contact ((c) in the figure). When the valve box 2 and the expanding jig 15 are further lowered, the guide portion 14 of the rubber ring 5 is moved.

The jig 15 projecting from the window 18 moves upward and rotates while repeating small up and down movements, so that the lower end surface of the hollow cylindrical portion 4 is gradually enlarged to become a trumpet-shaped enlarged portion 9 ( (Fig. 4 (a), (b)). The outer diameter of the lower end of the hollow cylindrical portion 4 formed in the trumpet-shaped enlarged diameter portion 9 is equal to the mounting hole 8 of the flange portion 7.
Is larger than the caliber. When the diameter is increased, the inner surface of the lower end of the hollow cylindrical portion 4 that is pressed from the molding surface 25 of the hook member 26 disposed on the main shaft 20 that moves up and down in small increments (and rotates and moves up and down) is a rubber ring 5. The upper portion of the enlarged diameter portion 9 is easily formed without buckling so as to include the annular projecting portion 12 at the lower end portion thereof and press it against the lower surface of the flange portion 7.

くできる。The present invention has the above-described configuration,
The mounting configuration of the lower portion of the air valve with respect to the mounting hole perforated in the lower fastening flange portion that is fastened to the fastening flange of the water pipe is not a mounting portion by screwing as in the related art, but via a rubber ring. Since the lower end of the hollow cylindrical portion press-fitted into the mounting hole is formed in the enlarged diameter portion, the following excellent effects can be expected. That is, (1) Even if an external load such as impact is applied to the air valve, or if the tilting force acts on the air valve due to the inertia due to the sway of the water pipe, the elastic force of the rubber ring should allow it. Therefore, looseness in the mounting portion and stress that breaks the mounting portion are not generated, and the cause of water leakage can be prevented. (2) When a pulling force acts on the air valve, the outer diameter of the enlarged diameter portion is larger than the inner diameter of the mounting hole. (3) Since the hollow cylindrical portion pushes and expands the rubber ring inserted into the mounting hole and press-fits the annular protrusion at the lower end of the rubber ring at the enlarged diameter portion and presses it against the lower surface of the flange, The surface pressure between the inner peripheral surface of the mounting hole and the outer peripheral surface of the rubber ring and the hollow cylindrical portion is equal, and the lower surface of the flange has the rubber ring pressing portion, so that there is no concern about the sealing mechanism. (4) In the first and second embodiments, the valve box main body and the small-diameter cylindrical portion are formed of stainless steel, and the valve box (exterior) can be reduced in weight. Can be smaller.
