  • Patent number: 10975553
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device (2) for automatically flushing liquid lines, in particular drinking water lines, with at least one connection (4) for a water conduit, with at least one connection (6) for a wastewater conduit, and with a flushing valve (8) which is arranged between the connections for the water conduit and wastewater conduit. The object of providing a device for automatic flushing that allows a flushing behaviour which is better tailored to the conditions is achieved in that the flushing valve (8) comprises a multiple valve with parallel valves (10). The invention further relates to a system of water lines and to a method for automatically flushing water lines using a device according to the invention.

  • Publication number: 20180355590
    Abstract: A device for connecting at least one fitting and a pipe includes at least one inlet, at least one outlet, at least one connection and an inner channel which connects the inlet and the outlet in a through-flowing manner, a drainage channel being provided, which connects the inner channel to the connection in a through-flowing manner. The device connects at least one fitting and a pipe, by means of which the fitting is protected and hygiene conditions improved. To this end, the drainage channel includes at least one section for thermal decoupling of the inner channel and the connection. Further disclosed is a system including at least one device described above.
