Abstract
Description
[0001] The invention relates to a device and a method for securing and sealing a pipe penetration in a wall opening of a building wall. Furthermore, the invention relates to a distribution sleeve, such as a penetration sleeve, injection sleeve, or sieve sleeve, for such a device.
[0002] In the technical field of building entry and exit points, there is a general need to introduce electrical cables, fiber optic cables, and similar components into a building via a conduit. It is known to secure a conduit in a wall penetration as fluid-tight as possible in order to subsequently house so-called microducts and / or microduct bundles and / or data cables and / or other conductors, such as fiber optic cables, within the conduit. The drilled wall penetration should be sealed fluid-tight after the conduit is installed.
[0003] A generic device for securing and sealing a pipe penetration, such as a conduit, through an opening in a building wall is known from EP 2 410 222 B1. A distribution sleeve, acting as a rigid conduit, is arranged concentrically between the wall opening and the conduit to be secured. A sealing bead is provided on the outer side of the building wall, which can be tensioned against the outer side of the building wall by means of a tensioning device operated from the inner side. A filling hose is inserted deep into an annular cavity formed by the concentric arrangement of the conduit and the distribution sleeve. A viscous curing agent can be introduced through this hose into the center of a hollow block in the building wall.Due to a large number of small holes incorporated into the distribution sleeve, which are evenly spaced a few millimeters apart in the circumferential and longitudinal directions, the curing substance reaches the outside of the rigid distribution sleeve in order to be able to further penetrate into the hollow block at the wall penetration and, after curing, to create a fluid-tight seal for attaching the distribution sleeve and the empty conduit contained within it to the wall penetration.
[0004] With this type of known fastening and sealing device, a disadvantage is that the space available for pulling cables and conductors within the conduit is limited, and a relatively large proportion of the available volume is lost due to the use of an injection hose between the through-pipe and the conduit. A connector is attached to the hose and positioned on the inside of the building wall. This arrangement has been found to require high pressure to be generated within the hose to bring the substance close to the exterior of the building, where the fastening seal is preferably located to prevent moisture from entering the building through the wall penetration.
[0005] EP 2 071 688 B1 discloses a method for securing a pipe penetration in the wall opening of a building wall, as well as a distribution sleeve in the form of a flexible hose. The special feature of the distribution sleeve is that it consists of a flexible sheath with perforations that allow the curing agent to escape only when a pressure threshold is exceeded.
[0006] DE 20 2012 002 751 U1 relates to a fiber optic cable entry point. DE 10 2010 026 082 A1 relates to a device for routing a cable through a penetration in a wall. EP 2 645 507 A1 relates to a cable penetration for mounting in a building wall. DE 20 2014 009 256 U1 relates to a device for sealing penetrations of cables and pipes.
[0007] The object of the invention is to improve a generic method or device as well as a distribution sleeve for such a device in such a way as to enable precise application of the curing substance, particularly on the outside of the building wall, and to provide the largest possible volume for pulling cables and conductors into the cable penetration.
[0008] This problem is solved by the features of independent claims 1, 6, 10 and / or 13.
[0009] The device is designed for securing and sealing a conduit, such as a pipe, through a wall penetration in a building wall, to and from the building wall using a flowable curing agent, particularly in the area of the wall penetration. The sealing and securing device comprises the conduit penetration and a distribution sleeve surrounding the conduit penetration, which can be either rigid (as a sleeve) or flexible (as a hose), particularly with a wall thickness of less than 1 mm. The conduit penetration has a casing.The outer surface of the conduit (the empty conduit) and the inner surface of the casing form, particularly in the case of a substantially precise concentric arrangement of the casing around the conduit, an annular, particularly circular, circumferential gap whose radial width is, in particular, continuously greater than 0.5 mm and less than 5 mm or 3 mm. The curing agent is introduced into the annular gap via an inlet channel of the distributor sleeve. According to the invention, the annular gap is between 1.5 mm and 2.5 mm, particularly at approximately 1.5 mm. The annular gap can extend circumferentially and axially with a constant radial distance between the distributor sleeve and the conduit. Surprisingly, it was found that this narrow annular gap is sufficient to ensure good distribution of the curing agent.In this way, the volume of the conduit can be maximized, while optimizing the tightness of the conduit's attachment to the wall penetration.
[0010] In a further development of the invention, the outer diameter of the distributor sleeve can be defined as larger than 10 mm and / or smaller than 100 mm, preferably larger than 30 mm and smaller than 70 mm.
[0011] In a further development of the invention, the annular gap space, particularly in the case of a precise concentric arrangement of the distributor sleeve around the cable passage, has a constant radial width along the extent of the cable passage, particularly in the case of a rigid distributor sleeve or uniform internal pressure of the distributor sleeve.
[0012] In a further development of the invention, the distributor sleeve comprises a sleeve-shaped sealing end or sealing socket, preferably facing the inside of the building. The sealing end preferably forms a cylindrical inner sealing surface with an inner diameter that is adapted to a particularly constant outer diameter of the pipe penetration, such as the conduit, in such a way that a clearance-free fit, in particular a transition fit or press fit, is formed between the pipe penetration and the distributor sleeve, particularly to create a seal against axial leakage of the curing substance from the annular gap.
[0013] Furthermore, the invention relates to the distribution sleeve itself, which can be used in particular with the aforementioned fastening and sealing device. The distribution sleeve serves to enclose the pipe penetration, such as the conduit, in particular concentrically, thereby forming the annular, in particular circular, circumferential gap. The flowable curing substance is to be introduced into the gap. According to one aspect of the invention, the distribution sleeve has a rigid or flexible outer body with several through-holes for the radial passage of the curing substance from the inside of the distribution sleeve to its outside, in order to come into contact with the inside of the building wall penetration.Furthermore, the distributor sleeve has a mounting flange, particularly at an axial end section, specifically for attachment to a building side, preferably an exterior wall, to provide a clear axial and, if necessary, also a radial position for the housing body during assembly of the distributor sleeve, especially the sealing and fastening device. According to the invention, the mounting flange has a connection through which the curing substance is introduced into the gap. The connection can serve to connect an external source of the curing substance. An inlet channel for guiding the curing substance, which is particularly pasty, into the gap is connected to the connection. According to the invention, at least the housing body and the connection with the channel wall boundary of the inlet channel and the mounting flange are manufactured from a single piece of material, in particular injection-molded from a single piece of plastic.It was found that this technical measure allows for an extremely compact distribution sleeve and a compact sealing and fastening device, and that the gap space can be designed with a significantly smaller volume. In this way, the usable volume of the conduit can be considerably increased. Furthermore, it was found that the operation of the sealing and fastening device during assembly and injection of the curing agent is also significantly simplified, because, according to the invention, damage to the separate pipe structures is largely prevented.
[0014] According to a further aspect of the invention, the inlet channel has a connection-side channel end section that extends axially from a free connection end, in particular essentially to the axial height of a contact surface of the mounting flange or the building mounting surface, and / or has an essentially cylindrical through-section. Furthermore, the inlet channel has a transition channel section that connects to the channel end section in a stepped manner in the axial direction. The radial outer boundary walls of the transition channel section are set back radially inwards relative to the outer boundary walls of the channel end section, thereby reducing the radial height of the channel cross-section. Simultaneously, the wall section of the channel bounding in the circumferential direction is widened to compensate for, or at least minimize, or completely compensate for the reduction in cross-section.Furthermore, the transition channel section has a radial-inside passage opening through which a fluid connection between the inlet channel and the gap space is achieved.
[0015] In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the mounting flange has an inlet channel, which in particular comprises a cylindrical channel cross-section on the connection side. At the axial height of a contact surface of the mounting flange, the inlet channel opens into the rotationally asymmetrical transition channel section, the radial outer and inner boundary walls of which are set back radially inwards and outwards relative to the cylindrical cross-section, in particular by a preferably equal radial offset of at least 1 mm, thereby reducing the radial cross-sectional height of the transition channel section compared to the inlet channel.The outer wall of the channel transition section is radially flared outwards relative to the outer wall of the longitudinally extending distribution channel, which is formed on the inside of the casing body by the cylindrical casing body, preferably by less than 3 mm. The offset outer wall extends more than 10 mm axially from the contact surface into the interior of the wall opening and then tapers off into the cylindrical casing body by means of a step. Preferably, the wall thickness is essentially constant along the entire inlet channel from the connection to the gap. Furthermore, the inner wall of the channel transition section can be provided, particularly in the region of the axial height of the contact surface, with a through-opening for fluidic connection of the inlet channel to the distribution channel adjoining the transition channel.The passage opening can extend axially by at least 5 mm in the longitudinal direction, having a smaller circumferential width than axial length.
[0016] In a further development of the invention, an upper (radially outer) channel boundary wall section of the casing body is free of any through holes and / or slots. The channel boundary wall section without through holes can have a minimum circumferential width of at least 5 mm, wherein, in particular, the through-hole-free casing body section extends longitudinally by at least half the longitudinal extent of the casing body. In particular, at least a series of, in particular, identical through holes and / or slots adjoin the axial extension of the through-hole-free casing body section.
[0017] Furthermore, the invention relates to a hose-like, in particular membrane-like, and especially manually deformable, flexible distribution sleeve for the device for fastening and sealing the cable penetration through a wall opening of a building wall, as defined, for example, above. The cable penetration can be a conduit in which the electrical conductors or optical fibers are to be arranged. The flexible distribution sleeve is to be fastened to and opposite the building wall, with the flexible distribution sleeve forming an annular, in particular circular, gap around the cable penetration, to which it can be arranged concentrically. According to the invention, the distribution sleeve has several elongated through-holes formed by slots with a minimum slot width of at least 0.3 mm, 0.4 mm, or 0.5 mm.The slot length and width are dimensioned such that, during assembly, particularly when curing agent pressure is applied to the distributor sleeve, the opposing slot edges do not come into contact, but rather the slot remains open to allow the curing agent to pass through. The injection pressure of the curing agent into the gap does not need to be applied to create a flow cross-section in the slot.
[0018] Preferably, the flexible distributor sleeve is made from a single piece of elastomer material, in particular injection molded. Additionally and / or alternatively, at least one row of slots extending axially along the distributor sleeve is provided, with slots arranged in the same orientation, preferably of the same length and width.
[0019] In particular, two adjacent rows of slots can each have a different slot length, wherein in particular there is a difference in length of at least 5 mm, 1 cm or 2 cm, wherein in particular the slot width of the slots of both rows of slots, in particular of all rows of slots, is essentially the same.
[0020] In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the slots are already realized during the manufacturing of the flexible distributor sleeve, for example by a corresponding injection molding process.
[0021] According to the invention, the slots, in particular those of constant width and axial position, extend exclusively in the circumferential direction of the distributor sleeve. The slots provided in the casing can have an elongated shape, in particular with parallel elongated edges and / or rounded hole ends.
[0022] Finally, the invention relates to a rigid distribution sleeve, in particular made of a rigid material such as metal or plastic, for a device, particularly as described above, for fastening and sealing a pipe penetration, such as a conduit, leading through the wall opening of the building wall, to and opposite the building wall, and for enclosing the pipe penetration, forming an annular, in particular circular, surrounding gap. A flowable curing substance can be introduced into the gap, which provides the final sealing and fastening function.
[0023] The rigid distribution sleeve comprises a casing with several openings through which the curing agent can exit from the gap to the wall penetration. According to the invention, the openings each have an elongated shape, with a width that is constant, particularly along the longitudinal axis, of less than 1 mm and greater than 3 mm, preferably between 0.4 mm and 0.8 mm. This elongated hole size proved particularly advantageous for a rigid distribution sleeve, as it allows for a sufficient flow rate through the openings without unduly compromising the stability of the casing. Furthermore, a uniform distribution of the elongated holes ensures a large-volume distribution of the curing agent, resulting in both an improved sealing effect and increased adhesion resistance.
[0024] According to the invention, the area ratio between the total cross-sectional area of the passage openings, which results from the sum of all cross-sectional areas of the passage opening in the casing body, and the total outer circumference of the casing body, which is in particular cylindrical, is greater than 0.5 and less than 0.7, preferably between 0.52 and 0.6, in particular between 0.55 and 0.65.
[0025] In a further development of the invention, the distributor sleeve has at least four, five, or six rows of identical elongated passages, the rows being arranged at uniform intervals around the circumference. It should be understood that in the area of the section of the casing that radially delimits the distribution channel, preferably no elongated holes are arranged.
[0026] Preferably, a first row of slotted holes has a short hole length of less than 4 mm, and a further row has a long slotted hole length of more than 4 mm or 5 mm. The casing has a slot-free bridge area with a width of at least 4 mm, 5 mm, or 6 mm. The slot-free area extends over at least half the total length of the casing, and in particular has the same length as the inner distribution channel.
[0027] In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the sealing and fastening device is designed with a cuff as described above, depending on the embodiment.
[0028] Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for fastening and sealing a conduit leading through a wall penetration in a building wall, such as a conduit, to and against the building wall by means of a flowable curing substance, wherein in particular the above-mentioned device and / or the above-mentioned distribution sleeves are used.
[0029] The invention relates in particular to a cable penetration, such as a conduit, leading through a wall opening in a building wall, at and opposite the building wall. In the method, a distribution sleeve is preferably dimensioned such that, particularly when the distribution sleeve is arranged concentrically around the cable penetration, an annular gap is formed, the radial width of which is particularly greater than 0.5 mm and particularly less than 5 mm.
[0030] The invention preferably relates to a method in which a mounting flange, manufactured in part with the distributor sleeve, is attached, and in particular clamped, to a building wall, especially an exterior wall. A curing substance, such as Tangit®, is injected into the mounting flange to secure the pipe penetration to the wall opening.
[0031] Further aspects are specified in the dependent claims.
[0032] Further features, advantages and properties of the invention will become clear from the following description of a preferred embodiment of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings, which show: Fig. 1 a perspective view of a fastening and sealing device according to the invention for a wall penetration in combination with a clamping device; Fig. 2 a cross-sectional view of the arrangement according to Fig. 1; Fig. 3 a longitudinal cross-sectional view according to Section III after Fig. 2; Fig. 4 a cross-section of a passage sleeve according to the invention; Fig. 5 a detailed cross-sectional view according to section V after Fig. 4; Fig. 6 a cross-sectional view along section line VI-VI to Fig. 4; Fig. 7 a cross-sectional view along section line VII-VII according to Fig. 4; Fig. 8 a cross-sectional view along section line VIII-VIII according to Fig. 4; Fig. 9 a cross-sectional view along section line IX-IX according to Fig. 4; Fig. 10 a side view of the fastening and sealing device according to the invention; and Fig. 11 a detailed page view according to section XI after Fig. 10.
[0033] In Fig. 1 is the sealing and fastening device according to the invention for a pipe penetration or wall penetration leading through a wall opening (not shown in detail) in a building wall (not shown in detail), designated by reference numeral 1. The sealing and fastening device 1 essentially comprises as its main components: a distribution sleeve 3, which can be designed, for example, as a rigid penetration sleeve with radial penetration holes or as a penetration hose with radial penetration holes that is flexibly deformable and shape-adaptable compared to the rigid, tubular penetration sleeve (the distribution sleeve 3 can also be referred to as an injection sleeve or sieve sleeve); and a conduit 5, which, for example, has a standard diameter of 32 cm ( Fig. 10) or 50 cm ( Fig. 11) and extends through the entire wall penetration from an outer surface A to an inner surface I of the building wall. The distribution sleeve 3 defines a casing 13 that completely surrounds the outer surface of the conduit 5, particularly adjacent to the building's outer surface A, in the circumferential direction. Openings in the casing 13 provide a direct radial connection from the outer surface of the conduit 5 to the outer surface of the casing 13. The casing 13 has a specific longitudinal extent (along the longitudinal axis L) and should comprise at least one quarter of the total extent of the wall penetration, but no more than half or two-thirds of the total axial length of the wall penetration. Only a section 9 near the end of the conduit 5 is completely enclosed by the distribution sleeve 3, forming a circumferential annular gap 31.
[0034] Furthermore, the sealing and fastening device 1 comprises a sealing and tensioning device 7, which can be inserted at one end of the conduit 5 facing the inner wall I of the building, so that the tensioning device 7, in cooperation with a mounting flange 11 arranged at the opposite end, tensions the conduit 5, particularly under tension, during installation. The sealing and tensioning device 7 is explained in more detail in the already published patent application DE 10 2010 026 082 A1, the content of which, particularly with regard to the function and arrangement of the sealing and tensioning device 7, is to be considered as a further disclosure.
[0035] In Fig. Figure 2 shows a cross-section of the device 1 according to the invention for fastening and sealing the empty tube 5, wherein the clamping and sealing device 7 is mounted in the empty tube 5. By flipping a handle element 27 of the clamping seal 7, a driver slides in the axial direction, whereby two sealing beads 29 are axially compressed together and radially expanded to form an enclosing sealing contact with the inside of the empty tube 5.
[0036] The casing body 13 comprises a plurality of substantially uniformly distributed through-holes 15, arranged in several axial rows one behind the other at substantially the same axial spacing. The arrangement of the through-holes 15 will be described later, in particular with reference to Fig. 10 and Fig. 11 received.
[0037] At one end of the casing 13, facing away from the building's outer wall A, a sealing sleeve 17 is integrally connected to the casing 13. This sleeve has an inner circumference that precisely matches the outer dimension of the conduit 5 or a slightly smaller inner circumference to provide an axial seal between the casing 13 and the conduit 5. Between the inside of the casing 13 and the outside of the conduit 5, a coaxial, essentially ring-shaped, and in particular circular, annular gap 31 is formed, terminating at the sealing sleeve 17. The shape of the annular gap 31 also depends on the stiffness of the manifold sleeve 3 and the injection pressure used to introduce a pasty sealant into the annular gap 31.In the case of a membrane-like passage hose as a distributor sleeve 3, a non-continuously rotating annular gap space 31 is to be assumed, whereas in the case of a passage sleeve made of rigid material with constant radial width or with a uniform gap space internal pressure, the annular gap space 31 extends uniformly in the circumferential and axial direction L.
[0038] In order to form a particularly flexible distributor sleeve 3 around the empty tube 5, radially inwardly projecting spacer ribs can be provided from the casing body 13, which extend in the axial longitudinal direction L and rest on the empty tube, in order to ensure spacing and coaxial centering of the inside of the casing body on the outside of the empty tube 5 and thus to ensure the most uniform possible gap formation.
[0039] On the side of the casing body 13 facing the outer wall A of the building, the mounting flange 11 is integrally attached, which is disc-shaped and has a flat mounting surface 10 facing the outer wall A of the building, which is provided with a sealing tape 12, such as a butyl tape, to form a fluid-sealing seal when the unit is attached to the outer wall A of the building.
[0040] On the side of the system flange 11 facing away from the building's outer wall A, a connection or injection nozzle 21 is formed integrally with the system flange 11. This nozzle forms a channel end section 22 or inlet channel, particularly with a circular cylindrical cross-section, which is connected to the distribution channel 19 formed on the inside of the casing body for conveying the curing substance beyond the center of the casing body 13. The injection nozzle 21 forms the circular cylindrical connection for the easy attachment of an injection hose or other filling aid (not shown) and has an inner diameter of 5 mm to 20 mm, particularly approximately 10 mm.A pasty, flowable curing substance, such as Tangit®, is introduced into the annular gap 31 via the injection nozzle 21. After a curing time, the curing substance solidifies to achieve a rigid coupling between the inner conduit 5 and the inside of the drilled wall penetration. The connection nozzle 21 is arranged eccentrically to the longitudinal axis L of the distributor sleeve 3, essentially at a radial height r of the cylindrical casing 13, which corresponds essentially to the maximum radial distance of the distributor sleeve 3, and in particular slightly larger than the maximum radial distance of the outer circumference of the conduit 5 to the longitudinal axis L and approximately slightly smaller than the radial distance of the inside of the wall penetration 18 to the longitudinal axis L.The connecting nozzle 21 forms the external inlet channel for the distribution channel 19, which extends parallel to the longitudinal axis L via a transition channel section. The distribution channel 19 is located inside the casing 13 and extends longitudinally along half the axial length of the distributor sleeve 3 on its inner surface. The distribution channel 19 is a channel structure partially bounded by the casing 13, open towards the empty tube 5, and also radially bounded by it. The distribution channel 19 is circumferentially bounded by two longitudinally extending elongated ribs 32, which are integrally formed with the casing 13 and essentially seal against the empty tube 5, thus preventing lateral circumferential outflow from the distribution channel 19. This ensures that the pasty curing substance flows exclusively along the distribution channel 19 due to the injection pressure.The long ribs 32 are offset from each other circumferentially by approximately 3° to 50° and run parallel to each other. The long ribs 32 end after about half the total axial extent of the distribution sleeve 3, where the distribution channel 19 also ends, so that the curing substance emerging there can spread freely in the circumferential, radial and axial directions.
[0041] Only a bypass through the elongated through-holes 15 is possible to provide a paste-like connection between the conduit 5 and the inside of the wall penetration. When the distribution sleeve 3 is mounted on the conduit 5, the longitudinally extending rib edges L can be positively engaged with the outside of the conduit 5. The rib edges can be shaped according to the radius of curvature of the outside of the conduit. The inside of the radial expansion 16 at the beginning of the distribution channel 19, as well as the subsequent inside of the unexpanded casing 13, the long ribs 32, and the corresponding area of the outside of the conduit 5, define the distribution channel 19.
[0042] As in Fig. As can be seen in Figure 4, the distribution channel 19 does not extend axially over the entire longitudinal extent of the casing body 13, but over at least half but less than three-quarters of the total longitudinal extent of the casing body 13. The distribution channel 19 ends where the longitudinal ribs 32 recede towards the inside of the cylindrical casing body 13. This exit point is designated with the reference numeral u. The distribution channel 19 has a semi-annular cross-section and changes its cross-section in the area of the dome-shaped expansion 16, which is formed at the axial connection to the mounting flange 11. The distribution channel 19 is bounded radially on the outside by the corresponding cylindrical section of the casing body 13. An additional stabilizing rib 33 is assigned to the pair of long ribs 32, which is essentially diametrically opposite to the longitudinal axis L and is intended for stabilizing / centring the shell body 13 on the empty tube 5.The long ribs 32 and the stabilizing rib 33 are integrally manufactured with the casing body 13, primarily from plastic. The stabilizing rib 33 extends axially to the same extent as the long ribs 32 to ensure unimpeded distribution of the curing substance in the rib-free end region of the distribution sleeve 3.
[0043] Adjacent to the building's outer wall A, projecting a few millimeters into the wall opening, the radial expansion 16 of the casing body 13 is formed on the outer surface of a transition channel section connecting the distribution channel 19 with the inlet channel. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the expansion 16 and the radial outer boundary region of the distribution channel 19 in the axial connection to the expansion 16 are to be free of any through-opening, thus ensuring that the quantity of injected curing substance reaches the outlet area u of the distribution channel 19 without loss. With respect to the radially outer injection nozzle half of the injection nozzle 21, a transition channel section 20 forms a radial recess despite the expansion 16. The expansion 16 serves to create a transition from the cylindrical inlet cross-section of the injection nozzle 21 to the annular distribution channel 19 ( Fig. 8) to create a stepwise change in cross-section towards the distribution channel 19. In the area of the widening 16 in the transition channel section 20 to the annular distribution channel 19, the flow cross-section of the distribution channel 19 is changed by the circumferential long ribs 32 and into an oval cross-section compared to the cylindrical injection nozzle 21. The oval cross-section in the channel transition 20 is radially compressed and circumferentially widened compared to the channel end section 22 of the injection nozzle 21.
[0044] In the area of the channel transition section 20, a radially internal, axial extension 25 of the injection nozzle 21 is provided, which projects radially inside the inner channel end section of the injection nozzle 21 and extends axially inwards beyond the contact surface 10 into the wall passage 18. At the axial end of the extension 25, the internal passage opening 26 is formed to open the channel internally towards the empty conduit 5 and to connect the channel structure with the distribution channel 19.
[0045] As particularly in Fig. As can be seen in Figure 5, the cross-sectional area of the injection nozzle is essentially circular up to the contact surface 10, with a sudden reduction in cross-section in the area of the transition channel section 20, which includes the widening 16. The transition channel section 20 extends axially into the wall opening 18 from the position of the contact surface 10, with the transition channel section 20 initially bounded axially on the inside by the nozzle extension 25. Several millimeters, in particular 5 mm to 15 mm from the reduction in cross-sectional area, the nozzle extension 25 ends and opens into the inner through-opening 26. On the outside and in the circumferential direction, the transition channel section 20 is bounded by the widening 16 and by the longitudinal ribs 32.
[0046] The distribution channel 19 allows exit in the circumferential direction only from point u, so that a pasty curing material reaches the entire annular gap 31 from the external point u onwards, and can be introduced via the injection nozzle 21. From point u, the curing substance spreads evenly in the circumferential, radial, and axial directions both into the annular gap 31 and towards the outer wall A of the building. The injection nozzle 21, the mounting flange 11, the casing bodies 13, and the long ribs 32 delimiting the distribution channels 19 are injection-molded from a single piece of plastic.
[0047] A centering ring 28 is fitted onto the end of the empty tube 5 facing the inner wall of the building, which is intended to center the empty tube 5 in the wall passage adjacent to the inner side of the wall.
[0048] The casing 13 has several rows of elongated through-holes 15 to allow the flowable curing substance (not shown) to flow radially from the annular space 31, filled via the injection nozzle 21, towards the outside of the casing 13 and towards the inside of the wall opening 18. The elongated length of the through-holes 15 is oriented circumferentially, i.e., perpendicular to the longitudinal axis L, and the circumferential length of the through-holes 15 can vary for each row.
[0049] For each axial row of through-holes 15, the circumferential length of the through-holes 15 can be constant. The through-holes 15 are arranged at the same axial distance from each other in all rows. The axial rows of through-holes 15 are separated by a continuous bridge section 45 of the casing body (13) of 1 mm to 5 mm, with each bridge section 15 separating two circumferentially adjacent through-holes 15 from each other.
[0050] The distribution sleeve 3 is provided with elongated through-holes around its entire circumference, dimensioned to ensure sufficient flow of the curing substance from the annular gap 31 to the inside of the wall passage 18. Only along the circumference and longitudinal extent of the distribution channel 19 are there no through-holes in the casing 13.
[0051] As in Fig. As can be seen in Figure 4, the cavity 31 and the through-opening 15 in the injection sleeve body 13 are already formed directly in axial connection to the system flange 11, so that the moisture entry area on the outside A of the building wall is also sealed directly with the flowable curing substance, in particular Tangit ®.
[0052] As in Fig. 10 and Fig. As can be seen in Figure 11, the passage slots 15 are arranged in a row, with the passage slots 15 of each row having the same length or circumference. Adjacent to the distribution channel 19, a row of passage slots with a first length, in particular of 6 mm, is arranged, with the adjacent passage slot row having a second length, in particular of 3.5 mm.
[0053] The through-holes 15 are either formed in a flexibly deformable shell body 13 or in a rigid sleeve body 13.
