  • Patent number: 11815208
    Abstract: A fitting (1) for connecting pipes (T) comprises a first tubular element (3), defining at its interior a first duct (3b), and a second tubular element (4), defining at its interior a second duct (4b). The fitting includes a first bushing (11), externally surrounding the first tubular element and creating an annular housing (12). The fitting also includes a first bushing-holder (30), externally associated with the first tubular element and configured for mounting the first bushing, including a seal portion (31) externally wound around a seal sector (40) of the first tubular element. The seal portion is interposed between a portion of a pipe, inserted in the annular housing and the seal sector, and attains a fluid-tight gasket when the first bushing is in a clamping configuration.

  • Publication number: 20220397288
    Abstract: A manifold for the distribution of a fluid in a plumbing and heating system has a tubular shape and defines in its interior a distribution conduit for the fluid. The manifold extends between a first inlet/outlet end and a second inlet/outlet end, both of which are designed to put the distribution conduit in communication with the exterior of the manifold to receive incoming fluid or to send fluid exiting the manifold. The manifold comprises a plurality of branches arranged in series along a longitudinal extension and interposed between the first and second inlet/outlet ends, wherein each branch allows a quantity of fluid to enter into or exit from the distribution conduit.

  • Publication number: 20220205569
    Abstract: A fitting for connecting pipes, in particular flexible pipes, includes a first tubular element provided with a first inlet/outlet opening and defining at its interior a first duct, and a second tubular element provided with a second inlet/outlet opening and defining at its interior a second duct. The two tubular elements are connected to each other in a manner such that the first and the second duct are in communication. The fitting includes a first bushing associated with the first tubular element in order to externally surround it and create an annular housing, which can operate in an insertion configuration, in which it allows the insertion of a pipe in the annular housing, and a clamping configuration, in which it presses and locks the pipe in a fluid-tight manner.

  • Publication number: 20220136633
    Abstract: A fitting for connecting pipes, in particular flexible pipes, includes a first tubular element, provided with a first inlet/outlet opening and at its interior defining a first duct, and a second tubular element, provided with a second inlet/outlet opening and at its interior defining a second duct. The two tubular elements are connected together in a manner such that the first and second ducts are in communication. The first tubular element is provided with at least one through opening, between an external surface thereof facing outwards and an internal surface directed towards the first duct. The through opening defines a respective empty space between the external surface and the internal surface of the first tubular element. The fitting operates in an insertion condition, in which it allows a pipe to be fitted around said first tubular element, and a clamping condition, in which the pipe is pressed and stably locked on the first tubular element.

  • Publication number: 20210346826
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a device (1) for filtering a fluid circulating in a plumbing and heating system, comprising a body (2) defining therewithin a filtration chamber (3) that is destined to have a fluid to be subjected to filtration pass through it. The body is provided with a first inlet/outlet opening (10), a second inlet/outlet opening (20) and a third inlet/outlet opening (30): each of which sets the filtration chamber (3) in communication with the outside of the device and can be associated with a line of the system to receive therefrom, or send thereto a fluid entering or exiting said body of the device. The device operates a passage of fluid through the filtration chamber (3), in a selective manner according to a plurality of operative configurations, from an opening between said first (10), second (20) and third inlet/outlet opening (30) to a further opening between said first, second and third inlet/outlet opening.

The body is provided with a first inlet/outlet opening (10), a second inlet/outlet opening (20) and a third inlet/outlet opening (30): each one of them sets the filtration chamber (3) in communication with the outside of the device and is associable with a line of the system so as to receive therefrom, or to send thereto, fluid entering, or exiting from, said body of the device. The device brings about a passage of fluid through the filtration chamber (3), in a selective manner according to a plurality of operative configurations, from one opening among said first (10), second (20) and third (30) inlet/outlet openings to another opening among said first, second and third inlet/outlet openings.
