Abstract
A plumbing kit of parts, with some tools, is provided, so a person may himself or herself directly, or hire a plumber to assist or to do the job, of providing outside of a dwelling, generally a residence, an outside hot water source interconnected to a nearby existing outside cold water source, thereby creating an outside controllable temperature and controllable flow of outside available water, used for examples during bathing of pets, and cleaning vehicles.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedI claim:
1 . A hot outside water kit that enables a person, such as a home resident, or a building occupant, or any person in reference to any dwelling, to use this kit to personally, or to have a plumber work with him or her, or to have the plumber by himself or herself, install on an exterior wall of a dwelling, a hot water faucet in a location adjacent to an existing cold water faucet, and arrange for two flexible hose portions to be extended from the respective faucets and to be connected to respective inlets of a double hose connector, having one outlet opening, which opening is eventually connected at selective times to a hose used in delivering a controllable temperature and controllable flow of water to a location outside of a dwelling, comprising:
a) water faucet adapted for securement to a structure of a dwelling to receive hot water coming from an interior of a dwelling to be regulated by the operation of this faucet for supplying hot water on demand at an exterior of a dwelling; b) a flexible hose to be connected at one end to the water faucet adapted to the connected to receive hot water coming from an interior of a dwelling; c) a flexible hose to be connected at one end to a water faucet already secured to a structure of a dwelling to receive cold water coming from an interior of a dwelling; d) a double hose connector adapted to be connected at the respective inlets thereof to the respective flexible hoses at the other respective ends thereof, and having the outlet opening thereof available to be eventually connected at selective times to a hose used in delivering controllable temperature and controllable flow of water to a location outside of a dwelling.
2 . A hot outside water kit, as claimed in claim 1 , comprising, in addition, a water conduit to be extended between an exterior source of hot water in an interior of a dwelling and the water faucet adapted for securement to a structure of a dwelling to receive hot water coming from an interior of a dwelling.
3 . A hot outside water kit, as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the water conduit is a flexible tubing constructed of an aluminum tube, laminated between tow layers of cross linked polyethylene.
4 . A hot outside water kit, as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each flexible hose to be respectively connected between respective water faucets and the double hose connector are respective rubber tubes each having a respective metal coil support.
5 . A hot outside water kit, as claimed in claim 1 , wherein respective valves are initially incorporated into the double hose connector, providing, by operating these respective valves, additional controls during the supplying of hot and cold water when mixed, for passing through the outlet of the double hose connector and beyond into a hose at selectable times of use.
6 . A hot outside water kit, as claimed in claim 4 , wherein respective valves are initially incorporated into the double hose connector, providing, by operating these respective valves, additional controls during the supply of hot and cold water, when mixed, for passing through the outlet of this double hose connector and beyond into a hose at selectable times of use.
7 . A hot outside water kit, as claimed in 4 , comprising, in addition a water conduit to be extended between an interior source of hot water in an interior of a dwelling and the water faucet adapted for securement to a structure of a dwelling to receive hot water coming form an interior of a dwelling.
8 . A hot outside water kit, as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the water conduit is flexible tubing constructed of an aluminum tube, laminated between two layers of cross-linked polyethylene.
9 . A hot outside water kit, as claimed in claim 8 , wherein respective valves are initially incorporated into the double hose connector, providing, by operating these respective valves, additional controls during the supplying of hot and cold water, when mixed, for passing through the outlet of this double hose connector and beyond into a hose at selectable times of use.
10 . A hot outside water kit, as claimed in claim 7 , wherein respective valves are initially incorporated into the double hose connector, providing, by operating these respective valves, additional controls during the supplying of hot and cold water, when mixed, for passing through the outlet of this double hose connector and beyond into a hose at selectable times of use.
11 . A hot water outside water kit, as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the water faucet to receive hot water is a frost-free hose bib.
12 . A hot outside water kit, as claimed in 1 , wherein the water faucet to receive hot water, the two flexible hose, and the double hose connectors are capable of being pre-assembled and utilized as an overall gage to measure and to there by locate the positioning of this water faucet to receive hot water in a conveniently spaced location relative to an existing cold water faucet before the water faucet is to receive hot water secured to a structure of a dwelling.
13 . A hot outside water kit as claimed in 1 , that enables a consumer to plumb, substantially permanently positioned hot water piping with a hot water faucet adjacent to an existing cold water faucet to the exterior wall of a house or building, wherein said hot water kit is inter-connected to an existing hot water system and cold water system providing controllable temperature and flow of hot water outside the exterior wall of a house or building, utilizing and comprised of a flexible tubing constructed of an aluminum tube laminated between two layers of cross-linked polyethylene, or an equivalently constructed pipe, a metal “T” coupling, a plastic “Y” coupling equipped with at least one outlet opening and flow control valves, flex-connectors constructed of rubber tubing and metal coil support, a conventional and/or frost free hot water faucet, each operatively connected to provide a means of measuring and locating on the exterior wall where to make an opening for the flexible tubing to exit through an exterior wall, pipe flaring and cutting tools for assembling the kit.
14 . A hot outside water kit as claimed in 1 , The construction of the hot outside water kit consisting of the combination of parts made of metal, polyethylene, rubber and plastic to substantiate the integrity of operation upon complete installation, the assembly of the hot water faucet, the two hose-savers, the “Y” connector, attached to the existing cold water faucet to serve as a measuring tool, to determine and mark the location on an exterior wall for creating the opening for the flexible tubing to exit the exterior wall.
15 . A hot outside water kit as claimed in 1 , utilizing a non-oxygen permeable, flexible tubing with potable water specifications to plumb from an existing hot water source to an exterior wall adjacent to the existing cold water faucet, to deliver hot water to the exterior wall, where the parts described on claim 1 will then be operatively connected and attached to the flexible tubing.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
