Modular Plumbing Box System and Methods of Mounting the Same
20230272604 · 2023-08-31 ·

A system of modular boxes as shown and described can be interconnected directly to one another via connectors that are integrally molded with the sidewalls of the boxes. The connectors of the boxes may include fastener receiving apertures for receiving a stud-mounting fastener therethrough. The connectors are thin and flexible, such that insertion and forcible tightening of a fastener through the aperture will cause a compressive force to be exerted between the interconnected boxes to maintain their spatial relationship and to maintain their interconnection. A further feature of the modular boxes of the system are anti-rotation members and receivers that are integrally molded to the side walls of the boxes. The anti-rotation members and receivers interact with one another at the point of connection between the boxes to prevent the boxes from flexing, rotating, or otherwise moving with respect to one another post-installation.

Rain shower

A shower assembly includes an inlet port, a reservoir, and a plurality of drop outlets. The inlet is for receiving water from a water source. The reservoir receives water from the inlet port and is not pressurized by a line pressure of the water source. Each of the drop outlet ports is configured, such that water passes from the reservoir, through the plurality of drop outlet ports, forms a drop at each drop outlet port, and falls from each drop outlet port only as discrete drops of water.

Precipitation reclamation storage system for use in a structure

A precipitation reclamation system includes a downspout adapter configured to receive runoff precipitation from a precipitation channel for a structure. The downspout adapter is configured to attach to the structure at a vent that places an interior of the structure in communication with an area external to the structure. A reclamation chamber is disposed within an appliance housing. The reclamation chamber has a pump. A reclamation conduit extends from the downspout adapter to the reclamation chamber and is configured to direct the precipitation to the reclamation chamber to define reclaimed water. The pump is adapted to deliver the reclaimed water from the reclamation chamber to a portion of the structure for use.

Shower

A shower assembly includes a first outlet, a second outlet, a first inlet, a stopper, and an actuator assembly. The first inlet is configured to provide water to the shower assembly from a water supply. The stopper is movable between a first stopper position and a second stopper position. When the stopper is in the first stopper position, water exits the shower assembly through the first outlet and is prevented from exiting the shower assembly through the second outlet. When the stopper is in the second stopper position, water is permitted to exit the shower assembly through the second outlet. The actuator assembly is configured to move the stopper between the first stopper position and the second stopper position.

Pipe shaft module

A pipe shaft module and a method for mounting a pipe shaft module in a pipe shaft of a building, said pipe shaft module (1) comprising: —a pipe connection box (5); and—at least one pipe (7a, b, c) which is protruding into the pipe connection box (5) and which is provided to the pipe connection box such that it can slide along its length direction in relation to the pipe connection box, wherein said pipe connection box (5) comprises: —a pipe connection device (11) comprising at least one pipe connector (13a, b, c) for each pipe (7a, b, c) provided in the pipe shaft module (1), wherein said pipe connection device (11) is mounted within the pipe connection box (5) such that it can be moved within the pipe connection box (5) into at least two different positions where one position is a connection position in which the pipe connectors (13a, b, c) are positioned such that one pipe connector (13a, b, c) can be connected to each pipe (7a, b, c) of the pipe shaft module (1).

SHOWER

A shower assembly includes an inlet port, a reservoir, and a plurality of drop outlet ports. The inlet port receives water from a water source at an inlet flow rate. The reservoir receives water from the inlet port, and is not pressurized by a line pressure of the water source even when the reservoir receives the water at a maximum inlet flow rate of up to 2.5 gallons per minute. Each of the plurality of drop outlet ports is configured such that water passes from the reservoir through the plurality of drop outlet ports, forms a drop at each drop outlet port, and falls from each drop outlet port by gravity only as discrete drops of water. A total flow capacity of the plurality of drop outlet ports is greater than or equal to the maximum inlet flow rate.

A PIPE SHAFT MODULE

A pipe shaft module and a method for mounting a pipe shaft module in a pipe shaft of a building, said pipe shaft module (1) comprising: —a pipe connection box (5); and —at least one pipe (7a, b, c) which is protruding into the pipe connection box (5) and which is provided to the pipe connection box such that it can slide along its length direction in relation to the pipe connection box, wherein said pipe connection box (5) comprises: —a pipe connection device (11) comprising at least one pipe connector (13a, b, c) for each pipe (7a, b, c) provided in the pipe shaft module (1), wherein said pipe connection device (11) is mounted within the pipe connection box (5) such that it can be moved within the pipe connection box (5) into at least two different positions where one position is a connection position in which the pipe connectors (13a, b, c) are positioned such that one pipe connector (13a, b, c) can be connected to each pipe (7a, b, c) of the pipe shaft module (1).

Outlet box

A utility box for mounting at least in part within a wall for use with a fluid carrying supply pipe, the box comprising, a housing including a top wall, a bottom wall, a first side wall and a second side wall, a back wall and a front opening providing access into an interior of the housing defined by the top, bottom, first side, second side and back walls, a bottom wall aperture in the bottom wall sized for extending the pipe through the bottom wall aperture with the pipe terminating in a free end portion positioned within the interior of the housing at a location above the bottom wall, a valve attachable to the free end portion of the pipe, the junction of the valve and the pipe being within the interior of the housing above the bottom wall, and a first seal positioned to provide a fluid-tight seal between the bottom wall and the pipe to prevent fluid within the interior of the housing from passing out of the interior of the housing through the bottom wall aperture.

HYDRANT MOUNTING BRACKET

A mounting bracket for a hydrant that is fully concealed by the hydrant head. The mounting bracket is fastened to the structure and includes tabs which engage the hydrant head to tightly secure the hydrant to the structure. The hydrant head includes a structure engaging periphery such that the mounting screws are fully concealed and protected from the environment.

Wall socket
