Abstract

The invention relates to a device for connecting a heating apparatus to the feed and return sections of a heating system of a building, wherein there is a water inlet channel with an inlet and an outlet connection, wherein the feed section of the heating system can be attached on the inlet connection, and the inlet of the heating apparatus can be attached on the outlet connection, there is a water outlet channel with an inlet and an outlet connection, wherein the outlet of the heating apparatus can be attached on the inlet connection, and the return section of the heating system can be attached on the outlet connection, and there is at least one connection, in particular a side connection, to the water inlet channel and/or to the water outlet channel between the inlet and outlet connections for a measuring device, pump, and/or a connecting hose.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A fitting for connecting a radiator to the supply and return of a heater for a building, characterized by
 a water inlet passage having an inlet connector and an outlet connector, the supply of the heater being attachable at the inlet connector and the inlet of the radiator being attachable at the outlet connector;   a water outlet passage having an inlet connector and an outlet connector, the outlet of the radiator being attachable at the inlet connector and the return of the heater being attachable at the outlet connector;   at least one accessory at the water inlet passage or at the water outlet passage between the inlet connector and the outlet connector for a meter, pump, or connecting hose.   
   
   
       2 . A fitting for connecting a radiator to the supply and return of a heater for a building, wherein
 a water inlet passage having an inlet connector and an outlet connector, the supply of the heater being attachable at the inlet connector and the inlet of the radiator being attachable at the outlet connector;   a water outlet passage having an inlet connector and an outlet connector, the outlet of the radiator being attachable at the inlet connector and the return of the heater being attachable at the outlet connector;   at least one pump attached laterally at the water inlet passage or at the water outlet passage between the inlet connector and the outlet connector and the housing of which is joined in particular integrally to the housing of the connector fitting.   
   
   
       3 . The fitting in accordance with  claim 1  wherein the water inlet passage or the water outlet passage, between its inlet connector and its outlet connector, forms a bypass having two branches to the lateral accessory and in particular to the meter, the pump, or the hose. 
   
   
       4 . The fitting in accordance with  claim 3  wherein the meter, the pump, or the connecting hose is releasably joined to the supply and the return of the bypass via the branches. 
   
   
       5 . The fitting in accordance with  claim 1  wherein, for connecting or blocking the meter, a pump, or a hose, lateral to the water inlet passage or the water outlet passage the branches that lead to the passage in particular the bypass can be blocked by a blocking device. 
   
   
       6 . The fitting in accordance with  claim 5  wherein the blocking device is a rotary disk valve. 
   
   
       7 . The fitting in accordance with  claim 1  wherein the water inlet passage and the water outlet passage are formed with the inlet connector and the outlet connector from the same fitting body. 
   
   
       8 . The fitting in accordance with  claim 1  wherein in the water inlet passage, inlet connector, and outlet connector are aligned with one another. 
   
   
       9 . The fitting in accordance with  claim 1  wherein in the water outlet passage the inlet connector and the outlet connector are aligned with one another. 
   
   
       10 . The fitting in accordance with  claim 1  wherein the inlet connector and the outlet connector of the water inlet passage and the inlet connector and the outlet connector of the water outlet passage are parallel to one another. 
   
   
       11 . The fitting in accordance with  claim 1  wherein a connecting bridge of the fitting body is unitarily formed between the water inlet passage and the water outlet passage. 
   
   
       12 . The fitting in accordance with  claim 1  wherein its body has an H-shape when viewed from the side. 
   
   
       13 . The fitting in accordance with  claim 1  wherein the meter or the pump is/are arranged within the body of the fitting. 
   
   
       14 . The fitting in accordance with  claim 1  wherein an attachment for filling or draining is arranged at the water inlet passage or at the water outlet passage. 
   
   
       15 . The fitting in accordance with  claim 1  wherein the axes of all of the pipes and attachments are disposed in the same plane. 
   
   
       16 . The fitting in accordance with  claim 1  wherein a temperature sensor or flow sensor is arranged in or at the water outlet passage or in or at the water inlet passage. 
   
   
       17 . The fitting in accordance with  claim 1  wherein the meter, the pump, or the connecting hose can be attached to the fitting, in particular to the blocking device via a bayonet fitting. 
   
   
       18 . The fitting in accordance with  claim 3  wherein a bypass can be connected at the lateral attachment and can be used to join the attachments of the bypass to one another. 
   
   
       19 . The fitting in accordance with  claim 18 , wherein the valve closing member of the blocking device can be actuated, in particular manually, using the bypass. 
   
   
       20 . A fitting for connection between a supply and return of a heat source and an inlet and an outlet of a radiator, the fitting comprising:
 a one-piece body extending along an axis, having two axially opposite ends and two transversely oppositely facing sides, and having on one side a transversely open inlet connector connectable to the heat-source supply and parallel thereto an outlet connector connectable to the heat-source return and on an opposite side a transversely open outlet connector connectable to the radiator inlet and parallel thereto an inlet connector connectable to the radiator outlet, each of the outlet connectors being transversely opposite to a respective one of the inlet connectors, the body being formed with two L-shaped passages each having a transversely extending branch opening at one of the connectors and another axially extending branch opening at one axial end of the body;   a valve at the one axial end shiftable between a closed position blocking both of the axial branches and an open position unblocking both of the axial passages; and   an accessory releasably connected to the one axial end and communicating with at least one of the axial branches.
