  • Patent number: 10934690
    Abstract: A system and method for flushing a drinking water installation, comprises at least one riser or distribution pipe, branch pipes connected to the riser or distribution pipe, as well as consumer devices and flushing stations connected to the branch pipes. The flushing stations have measuring devices for the temperature change in the branch pipe or the throughflow through the branch pipe, and/or measuring devices for the temperature change or the throughflow. The system includes and the method uses a control unit which is connected to the measuring devices by means of data cables or by radio. The control unit has an evaluation module for the data transmitted by the measuring devices, and the evaluation module is set up to determine, on the basis of the transmitted data, which flushing stations need to be flushed simultaneously in order for the riser or distribution pipe to be flushed.

  • Patent number: 9777877
    Abstract: A pipe connector comprises a first connection, a second connection and a third connection. Longitudinal axes of the connections are located substantially in a first plane. The first connection and the second connection are arranged on a common side in relation to a second plane, wherein the second plane is aligned perpendicular to the first plane and runs through the longitudinal axis of the third connection. The first connection and the second connection are linked by means of a U-shaped pipe section, wherein an elongated pipe section has the third connection being formed out from the U-shaped pipe section. The first connection and the second connection are spaced from one another in such a manner that the first connection and the second connection are accessible for connection of pipe lines by means of a tool, in particular a pressing tool.
