    摘要: A grommet for surrounding a conduit received through a hole in a part, including a grommet body configured for engagement with a perimeter of the hole in the part and defining a closed or substantially closed perimeter, and a plurality fingers, the fingers extending axially from the grommet body and being circumferentially spaced from one another, each of the fingers being elongated and having a free end axially spaced from the grommet body. An assembly includes the part, the grommet, the conduit, and an adjustable length fastener spaced from the part, the adjustable length fastener forming a loop having an adjustable perimeter, the conduit and the fingers extending within the loop, the adjustable length fastener retaining the fingers against the outer surface of the conduit. A method of supporting a conduit within a hole through a part is also discussed.

    摘要: Plumbing supply boxes may be made of a thermoset plastic material that will not melt or permit the boxes to collapse inside a wall if subjected to flames or high temperatures resulting from a fire. If the thermoset plastic boxes have a drain opening, a thermoplastic tubular drain adaptor may be connected thereto that can be solvent welded. Relatively small intumescent pads may be installed in close proximity to the drain opening which, if subjected to flames or high temperature caused by a fire, will expand and form an insulating char that seals off the drain opening. The boxes may be slidable in opposite directions along adjustable support brackets to permit the boxes to be mounted in any desired position in stud bays having different spacings between the stud walls for ease of alignment of one or more openings in the box with in-wall plumbing.

    摘要: Gripping devices and methods for accommodating a piping (e.g., a pipe stub) having a predetermined size, automatically gripping the piping as the piping is pushed through the gripping device, supporting and securing the piping at a predetermined orientation (e.g., perpendicular) to a through-structure as the piping passes through a hole in the through-structure, and thereafter maintaining the piping at the predetermined orientation.

    摘要: A grommet for installation in an opening of a panel comprises an elastically deformable material having a longitudinal axis extending from a proximal end to a distal end of a grommet body. The grommet body comprises an aperture extending longitudinally through the grommet body between the proximal end and the distal end. A wall-engaging segment defines a longitudinal segment of the aperture and is located to be enclosed by a wall of the opening when the grommet is installed in the panel. A clamping element occludes the aperture in the wall-engaging segment and comprises at least one longitudinally extending through-hole sized and configured to receive an elongated element. The clamping element is located to apply a compressive force on the elongated element to retain the elongated element in the through-hole of the grommet body responsive to disposition of the wall-engaging segment in the opening of the panel.

    摘要: A pool apparatus includes a pool body, a water inlet, a water outlet, and an outlet valve. The water inlet is used for carrying water into the pool body. The water outlet is used for draining water out of the pool body. The outlet valve covers the water outlet. The outlet valve has a drainage surface for draining water out of the pool body from the drainage surface with a drainage direction. The outlet valve has a protrusion block protruding with a distance opposite to the drainage direction from the drainage surface to decrease the risk that the user may be sucked on the outlet valve.

    摘要: A device for aligning pipes with adjacent structures. The pipe alignment device includes a housing having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is removably securable to a pipe via threading. The second end of the housing includes a light source that can emit a beam of light along the center of the longitudinal axis thereof. When the housing is secured to a pipe, the light source is activated via a switch disposed on the exterior of the housing. A beam of light contacts an adjacent structure, thereby serving as a marker for drilling a hole in the structure to allow the pipe to align therewith in order to connect or pass through the structure. In one embodiment, the first end of the housing is removable and houses a power source that is operably connected to the switch and the light source for providing power thereto.

    摘要: A decorative escutcheon or flange at the joint between a surface and an appliance protrusion, hole, or valve. The flange may include a decorative and attractive plate and a stem. The stem may be coupled to a rear of the decorative and attractive plate. The decorative and attractive plate may have a hole, such that an item passed through the hole also passes through the hollow stem. The flange is configured to be inserted into an opening on a surface, such that the opening of the surface is at least partially accessible through the hole and the hollow stem.

    摘要: Apparatus, systems, and methods provide for a zero-moment fitting for securing a fluid conduit to a structure. According to various embodiments, a fitting may include a spherical bearing and a bearing housing. The spherical bearing may include a conduit aperture for receiving a fluid conduit through the spherical bearing. The bearing housing may be configured to encompass and retain the spherical bearing within the bearing housing, allowing for rotation of the spherical bearing within the bearing housing. The bearing housing may be fixedly attached to the structure to secure the fitting to the structure.
