<Conventional technology> As is well known, when the life of citizens improves, clothes change.

There is a growing need to improve not only the quality of diet but also the quality of housing, but compared to a diet consisting of only clothes, housing is becoming less affordable due to the rise in the price of land and building materials. It's difficult to get a house, and once you get it, you can't easily move to another house, so you just bought a house.

Housing such as condominiums and rental apartments are required to have durability and maintainability, and are also required to provide sufficient comfort from the time of initial occupancy.

Water and sewage facilities have recently become indispensable in modern citizen life, and are not only convenient to handle, but also have sufficient durability and maintainability.
In construction, it is no longer possible to ignore improvements in workability and serviceability during maintenance, inspection, maintenance, and replacement.

In the early days when housing conditions were poor, water and sewage pipes, gas pipes, and other pipes were often left exposed along the walls; Due to the increasing difficulty of handling and routing the pipes, as well as the requirements for good appearance, pipes are routed inside the walls, such as between the inner and outer walls, such as for water faucets and valves.

Increasingly, only the end of a gas faucet (hereinafter generically referred to as the faucet body) is exposed outside the wall to improve ease of use.

However, such routing of piping within the wall may cause water to infiltrate into the wall due to backflow of water from outside the wall in the early stages of dew condensation due to temperature differences on the outside surface of the piping. For example, from JP-A-63-6299
As shown in the published invention, a so-called faucet box 1 as shown in FIG. 8 has been devised and put into practical use.

That is, a frame 3 made of resin or metal with a box-shaped cross section is attached to the wall 2.
is fixed in place, an elbow-type joint 4 is housed inside, and its tip is exposed to the opening 5 of the frame 3, connected to a faucet body 6 such as a faucet, and fixed with a retainer ring 7. It is covered with a decorative plate 8, and a flexible water conduit 9 is installed at the bottom of the joint 4.
is connected and extends through the inside of the sheath pipe 10, and water in the wall body 2 is guided from inside the frame 3 of the faucet box 1 to the sheath pipe 10, and in the initial installation, the water guide pipe 9 At the same time, the joint 4 is pulled out from the opening 5 and connected to the faucet main body 6.

However, as shown in FIG. 7, such a faucet box 1 has the disadvantage that its structure is extremely complicated and the cost is high. Due to the disadvantages such as the work of connecting is cumbersome and the amount of materials is large, for example, the method shown in Figs. As shown, a semi-faucet box type pipe holder 1' having a simple structure has been devised and put into practical use.

That is, the open frame 3' of the semi-faucet box type pipe holder 1', which has a U-shaped longitudinal section, is attached and fixed to the crosspiece 11 via its flange, and the interposed joint 4' is attached to the wall 2. The water pipe 9 is pulled out through the opening 5' of the faucet and connected to the faucet main body 6', and the water pipe 9 is housed inside the sheath pipe 10, so that even though the frame 3' is fitted in an open type, The leaked water was discharged from the sheath pipe 10 using the water pipe 9 as a guide.

<Problem to be solved by the invention> However, the piping holder 1' of the conventional nuclide type has a simple structure and retains the function of discharging water leakage in the wall 2. However, there is a problem in that it is difficult to securely fix the joint 4 to the pipe holder, and although there is a technique for fixing the joint 4 to the crosspiece 11 in a predetermined position via the screw 7', substantial rigidity cannot be obtained. First, it is difficult to install, and is prone to looseness over time, which may lead to water leakage.

Therefore, for example, even if the decorative plate 8 and the like are provided in a screw-on manner, there is a disadvantage that clearance, looseness, etc. are likely to occur.

<Object of the Invention> The object of the invention of this application is based on the above-mentioned prior art. It is easy to install, has good durability, is easy to perform maintenance, inspection, maintenance, and replacement, and is low cost. It is an object of the present invention to provide an excellent pipe holder structure that eliminates the risk of water leakage and is beneficial to the field of piping technology application in the construction industry.

<Means/effects for solving the problem> In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the structure of the invention of this application, which is summarized in the above-mentioned claims, is to provide a predetermined faucet main body at the tip of the water pipe. When connecting and connecting, place the frame of the semi-faucet box type piping holder in contact with the back of the wall, fix its flange to a crosspiece, etc., and connect the water conduit pipe to the base end of the joint. The tips of the three arms extending from the opening of the frame are integrally fixed to the peripheral edge of the mounting hole of the opening of the frame, and the tips of the three arms extending outward are fixed and rigidly fixed. Insert the water pipe into the sheath pipe, screw the decorative board onto the joint from outside the wall to cover the mounting hole, and connect the faucet body in place to prevent water from entering from the outside of the wall. The water generated in the frame is discharged from the sheath pipe using the water conduit as a guide, and the pipe holder is installed and fixed with sufficient rigidity, and technical measures are taken to prevent wobbling etc. This is what I learned.
