Abstract
A plumbing system for a pure water supply of a dialysis clinic includes an isolation block assembly to which the various purifying components can be quickly connected and disconnected. The isolation block assembly includes an isolation block which has both a supply passage and a discharge passage defined therethrough. A first self sealing quick connect part is connected to the supply passage outlet. A second self sealing quick connect part is connected to the discharge passage inlet. The purifying component may be connected to the isolation block assembly through the use of flexible conduits having complementary self sealing quick connect parts connected thereto, so that the flexible conduits may be connected to the quick connect parts of the isolation block assembly.
Claims11
A plumbing system for a pure water supply of a dialysis clinic, comprising:
- a first purifying component and a second purifying component plumbed in series, the first purifying component including a purifying component inlet and a purifying component outlet;
- an isolation block assembly connected to the first purifying component the isolation block assembly including:
- an isolation block;
- a supply passage defined through the isolation block, and having a supply passage inlet and a supply passage outlet;
- a discharge passage defined through the isolation block, and having a discharge passage inlet and a discharge passage outlet;
- a first self sealing quick connect part connected to the supply passage outlet and
- a second self sealing quick connect part connected to the discharge passage inlet;
- a flexible inlet conduit having one end connected to the purifying component inlet, and having a second end:
- a third self sealing quick connect part connected to the second end of the flexible inlet conduit, the third self sealing quick connect part being selectively engageable with the first self sealing quick connect part to connect the filter inlet with the supply passage of the isolation block;
- a flexible outlet conduit having one end connected to the purifying component outlet and having a second end;
- and
- a fourth self sealing quick connect part connected to the second end of the flexible outlet conduit, the fourth self sealing quick connect part being selectively engageable with the second self sealing quick connect part to connect the purifying component outlet with the discharge passage of the isolation block.
