Method and Means for Positioning a High Rise Loop for a Dishwasher's Discharge Hose
A high-loop bracket has a handle portion that allows a user to manipulate a hose support portion that supports an electric dishwasher's discharge hose into a position that easily forms a high rise loop. The high rise loop is fixed against a sink base cabinet by securing an easy to reach mount portion of the high-loop bracket. Preferably, the high-loop bracket is formed from a single sheet of stainless steel that is bent to create the various portions of the bracket.
METHOD OF OPERATION TO INCREASE THE WATER EFFICIENCY OF SYSTEM FOR DOMOTIC CONTROL OF A PLUMBING INSTALLATION
A water control system for the cold and hot water plumbing installations, for consumption or heating and gray water in a home, premises or building increases water and/or energy efficiency of the installation by means of a method of operation which reduces the water consumption or energy used in its consumption and treatment. The method includes detecting and controlling water leaks, avoiding consumption of cold water which is produced while waiting for hot water to come out, reducing the energy required for consuming hot water, reducing consumption of water when it is used for the toilet together with a soap, foam or similar, measuring and controlling the proliferation of Legionella bacteria and other microorganisms, cleaning pipes and in general monitoring the control variables of a plumbing installation and its visualization and interaction by a user or a smart and autonomous IT system.

Pipe Connector
There is described a pipe connector for connecting first and second pipes slidably engageable one into the other, the pipe connector comprising: a side wall extending between a first end and a second end along a longitudinal axis and defining an interior space, the side wall being adapted to be inserted into a floor hole made into a floor; a floor flange extending laterally and outwardly from the first end of the side wall, the floor flange being adapted to rest on a floor surface when the side wall is inserted into the floor hole; and a guiding assembly secured to the side wall and comprising at least one resilient retaining finger for receiving the first pipe therebetween, the at least one resilient retaining finger being securable to the first pipe when the second pipe is engaged into the first pipe.
Sanitary washing device
A sanitary washing device includes a nozzle, a valve unit, a casing, a water supply hose, and a water supply connection part. The nozzle is configured to discharge water toward an ano-genital region. The valve unit is provided on a pipe line between a water supply source and the nozzle. The valve unit includes an electromagnetic valve. The water supply hose is configured to supply water from the water supply source into the casing. The water supply hose is flexible. The water supply connection part connects the water supply hose and the valve unit. The casing has a concave portion recessed upward from a bottom surface of the casing. The concave portion has an upper surface and a side surface extending from the upper surface and facing backward or sideward. The water supply connection part is provided on the side surface of the concave portion.
DISPOSABLE MODULAR RESERVOIR
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate generally to a reservoir (40) that is easily removed from a grey water flush system. The reservoir is made modular so that rather than removing an entire reservoir/pump/circuitry system, the reservoir (40) can be separately removed from the system. The reservoir can also be made disposable, which can save cleaning and refurbishment costs. This can also increase turn-around time for maintenance of the system.

MOBILE HANDWASHING SYSTEM
A mobile handwashing system (1) includes a freestanding supply station (2) and at least one freestanding handwashing station (3). The supply station (2) includes a freshwater tank (4), which is fluidly connected or connectable to the at least one handwashing station (3) via a first freshwater supply line (5) and is fluidly connected or connectable to a freshwater supply system via a second freshwater supply line (6). The supply station (2) includes a wastewater or graywater tank (7) and/or a wastewater pump (23) which is fluidly connected or connectable to the at least one handwashing station (3) via a first wastewater line (8) and is fluidly connected or connectable to a wastewater disposal or wastewater treatment system via a second wastewater line (9).
Plumbing supply line mounting and finish panel assembly
A plumbing finish panel assembly, for connecting a water supply line in a wall to fixture supply lines, comprises a mounting panel having a supply line opening formed therethrough and a finish ring for presenting a clean finished appearance to the assembly. A supply line connector assembly is securable to the mounting panel through the supply line opening and enables selective orientation of a tailpiece for connection to the supply line. An outlet end of the supply line connector assembly provides a threaded coupling to which a valve or hose may be coupled. The panel assembly may be provided in plate or box configuration.
