An outlet aperture arrangement (100) includes a flow promotion device (10) which, in use, is located at an outlet aperture (12) defined by a liquid container (14), for example, a toilet cistern. The device (10) includes a divider arrangement (16). The divider arrangement (16) includes one or more divider members (18). In use, the divider arrangement (16) is located at or in an entrance (20) to the outlet aperture (12), so that the or each divider member (18) divides the entrance (20) into a plurality of outlet entrance parts (22).

An extendable shower apparatus is disposed with a rain shower head and a handheld shower and includes a shower panel, a lateral spray assembly, and a switch. The shower panel is connected to the rain shower head and the handheld shower and has a pivotally connecting portion. The lateral spray assembly is movably disposed to the shower panel and includes a swinging arm and a shower head. The swinging arm is connected to the pivotally connecting portion to allow the lateral spray assembly to protrude out of a side of the shower panel. The shower head is disposed at an end of the swinging arm. The switch is adapted to control water to output from one of the rain shower head, the lateral spray assembly, and the handheld shower. Thus, the extendable shower apparatus could provide a function of lateral showering to fulfill the required demand of a user.

A plumbing service box assembly is described. The assembly includes a box with a positioning-debris cover configured to be received through an open face of the box and that includes a receiver that engages the plumbing fitting. Engagement with the receiver retains the plumbing fitting orientation and position during installation in a structure. The positioning-debris cover may be retained for aesthetic appearance and/or to resist actuation of the fitting. A trim-piece provides a finished appearance to the installation and retains the positioning-debris cover in position. Top and bottom walls of the box include interchangeable adaptor plates that adapt to various plumbing conduit sizes as well as drain outlets or couplings. A secondary debris cover that encloses the positioning-debris cover within the box and further protects against entry of debris is also provided.

An adjustable escutcheon assembly is provided which can be installed flush against a ceiling, wall, or other surface where a supply pipe exits the ceiling, wall, or surface at various angles. The assembly includes a fitting having a curved bearing surface and an aperture for receiving the supply pipe, a retainer which bears against and is adjustable with respect to the curved bearing surface of the fitting, and an escutcheon plate mountable to the retainer. During installation, the retainer and escutcheon plate can be rotated with respect to the pipe and fitting in order to allow flush installation of the retainer and escutcheon against the ceiling, wall, or surface at a variety of angles.

A faucet pipe fitting assembly, a faucet connecting structure and a faucet are disclosed. A faucet pipe fitting assembly includes a pipe joint unit and at least two pipes. The pipe joint unit has joint portions corresponding in number to the pipes. The pipes are integrally formed with the pipe joint unit. The pipes communicate with the joint portions of the pipe joint unit, respectively. The faucet pipe fitting assembly has the advantages of stable connection and convenient connection with a valve seat.

The present invention relates to a water distribution system with hygienisation capacity. According to a first aspect, the present invention describes a water distribution system (I) comprising a water supply, a heating source (IO0) or a point of inflow of externally heated water, at least one sensor measuring water quality, a flow path for water with a user outflow UO, and a control unit for operation of the water distribution system (1), said at least one sensor measuring water quality being connected to the control unit, wherein the water distribution system (I) comprises tubing in a tubing system where at least one portion of the tubing system in the water distribution system (1) comprises a tubing portion which is made of a plastic material comprising silver and/or zinc to provide an inner anti-biofilm of that tubing portion.

A device that serves to increase the pressure on the outlets of water intakes in houses or gardens. This system to increase the water pressure is called salt-cellar-like device for increasing pressure. The salt-cellar-like device for increasing pressure has 6 external walls that give its body a hexagonal shape. These external walls allow the device to be held firmly by some tool that rotates the device, so that it is correctly inserted and attached to some water intake. The salt-cellar-like device for increasing pressure has a head that has a circular concavity on its upper part, as well as on the surface of this circular concavity there is an arrangement of conduits from which the water leaves the device to a higher pressure.
