Abstract
An installation duct for accommodating at least gas outlet couplings shall be improved such that the gas supply lines leading to the gas outlet couplings can be laid and connected in a simple manner. This is accomplished with the features of a connection plate (3), on which the gas outlet couplings (4, 5) are fastened, with a middle part (6) that can be placed on the connection plate (3), and with a cover plate (7), which is fastened to end parts (21, 22) of the side walls (13, 14) of the installation duct (1) pointing away from the connection plate (3).
Claims19
An installation duct for receiving at least gas outlet couplings at a mounting surface, the installation duct comprising:
- a rail-like connection plate disposable on the mounting surface the gas outlet couplings being fastened to said connection plate;
- a middle part disposable on said connection plate, said middle part having an upper side wall, a lower side wall and a support plate, which connects said side walls in an H-shaped pattern and is located between said side walls, said support plate having openings in an area of the gas outlet couplings, the openings being dimensioned such that the gas outlet couplings can be led through said openings, said side walls having end parts;
- and
- a cover plate fastened to said end parts of said side walls opposite said connection plate, said cover plate having passage openings for the gas outlet couplings.
A method of use of gas outlet couplings at a mounting surface, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing an installation duct with a rail-like connection plate, a middle part, said middle part having an upper side wall, a lower side wall and a support plate, which connects said side walls in an H-shaped pattern and is located between said side walls, said support plate having openings for the gas outlet couplings, said side walls having end parts and a cover plate said cover plate having passage openings for the gas outlet couplings;
- disposing said connection plate on the mounting surface;
- fastening the gas outlet couplings to said connection plate;
- disposing said middle part on said connection plate;
- dimensioning said openings of said support plate such that the gas outlet couplings can be led through said openings;
- leading the gas outlet couplings through said openings;
- and
- fastening said cover to said end parts of said side walls opposite said connection plate.
