Abstract
A sillcock with one or more side inlets, which allow the sillcock to be mounted directly to a wall or other structure without additional fittings such as an elbow or tee. The sillcock may include an integral stop to allow the sillcock to be shut off and serviced without shutting off the entire system. Multiple inlets allow the sillcock to be used in a system of sillcocks coupled or ganged together in a water system.
Claims34
A sillcock for use in an exposed water system comprising:
- a body having a first inlet, an integral stop operable between an open position and a closed position, and a back surface;
- a valve shut-off having an open position, a closed position, and an outlet, said valve shut-off coupled to said body;
- and
- a channel connecting said first inlet and said valve shut-off;
- whereas said first inlet is spaced between said back surface and said valve shut-off;
- whereas said first inlet is in fluidic communication with said outlet when said valve shut-off is in said open position, and said integral stop is in said open position;
- whereas said integral stop isolates said valve shut-off from the water system when in said closed position.

A sillcock for use with an exposed water system comprising:
- a planar mounting surface,
- a body having a first inlet and an integral stop, said body coupled to said planar mounting surface;
- a valve shut-off operable to move a valve between an open and a closed position, and having an outlet, said valve shut-off coupled to said body;
- and
- a channel connecting said first inlet to said valve shut-off;
- said integral stop operable between an open position and a closed position;
- wherein said integral stop blocks said channel when in said closed position isolating said valve shut-off from the water system;
- wherein said first inlet is in fluidic communication with said valve shut-off when said integral stop is in said open position;
- wherein said first inlet is in fluidic communication with said outlet when said integral stop is in said open position and said valve shut-off is in said open position.
6 more elements
A sillcock for use with an exposed water system comprising:
- a mount,
- a body having a first inlet and an integral stop, said body coupled to said mount;
- a valve shut-off having a handle operable to move said valve shut-off between an open and a closed position, and an outlet, said valve shut-off coupled to said body;
- and
- a channel connecting said first inlet to said valve shut-off;
- said integral stop operable between an open position and a closed position;
- wherein said integral stop prevents water from entering said channel when in said closed position isolating said valve shut-off from the water system;
- wherein said first inlet is in fluidic communication with said valve shut-off when said integral stop is in said open position;
- wherein said first inlet is in fluidic communication with said outlet when said valve shut-off when said integral stop is in said open position and said valve shut-off is in said open position;
- wherein said first inlet includes a longitudinal axis generally parallel to a plane of said mount.
