Problems solved by technology

Since at least three different trade operations are involved in an installation with a novel construction, namely electricians, plumbers, and bricklayers, it often happens that electrical and plumb components are not correctly positioned relative to the openings in the pilasters , the end result of which may be that part of the unit must be reworked, or that the parts will not be properly positioned for final installation of the restroom fixture

Embodiment Construction

[0016] The present invention allows for vertical and horizontal mounting of toilet fixture flush valves, and provides a secure mounting point for the incoming water source, maintains the correct relative position between the inlet pipe, electrical box position of the sensor, and wire connector, and drains the toilet fixture The tube serves as the mounting center point. By utilizing two fixed rails with slots for changeable rail position on the pilasters, positioning can be assured anywhere between pilasters on mid to mid spans of 16" or 24". The general purpose of the mounting plate assembly is to ensure correct positioning of the electronics assembly, water inlet and appliance outlet pipes relative to each other. This overcomes the problems associated with future multi-professional installations at multiple locations.

[0017] In a typical installation of a new structure, the discharge pipe is laid first, the walls are added later, the plumber returns to lay the inlet pipes,...

Abstract

A mounting plate assembly for use in aligning electrical and plumbing components of a toilet flush valve installation includes a pair of rails having openings therein for use in attaching the assembly to wall studs of variant spacing. There is a plate with openings and fasteners on the plate and rails for variable mounting of the plate to the rails. The plate has an opening for installation of an electrical box and at least one opening for a water inlet pipe. A pipe locater is used to properly position a pipe within the plate opening. There are openings at upper and lower portions of the plate to insure its correct vertical alignment with a water drain from a toilet fixture.

Description

field of invention [0001] The present invention relates to a mounting plate assembly for aligning electronics and plumbing of a restroom flushometer assembly. Background technique [0002] Typically, a flushometer device that utilizes electronic sensor actuation requires an electrical box that can be properly positioned relative to the toilet fixture drain, and a flushometer inlet. Since at least three different trade operations are involved in an installation with a novel construction, namely electricians, plumbers, and bricklayers, it often happens that electrical and plumb components are not correctly positioned relative to the openings in the pilasters , with the net result that parts of the unit may have to be reworked, or that the parts may not be properly positioned for final installation of the bathroom fixture. Contents of the invention [0003] The present invention relates to a mounting plate assembly for proper positioning of electrical and plumb components in...
