The present Invention Patent refers to the DUAL Piping System, a Disruptive RESOLUTION for the Assembly/connection of a ‘Pair of pipes in Tandem’ operating as if it were only One; and this through ‘Plumbed and secured’ double-connected between its Exclusive components, in ‘Evolution and identity’ typical of this system . . . . Which constitute it in ‘New-MILESTONE’ for double Pipe laying.
Innovative and comprehensive system Suitable Per se for “Internal installations” for the distribution of “hot and cold” Water in buildings, which, enhanced with “Masterful DUAL design components”, generates a 70% Magna-reduction in Times and labors consumed when settling in; Resolving in this innovative Dual dynamic (in fierce contrast to the traditional ones until today) the ‘traumatic Zones’ of Multi-connected with cross-sections towards the sanitary fixtures in ‘Bathrooms, Kitchens and laundry rooms’, which currently employ individual ‘double-pipe’ runs in Quasi-parallel. And that in the same Dual design, it also solves the diverse options of Branching (with or without external connection), transport and distribution, etc.; just like that and as a result of its ‘Uniform Aesthetics’ it becomes attractive for Mounting on walls. All virtues that make it an optimal and natural replacement for said and today already Rudimentary double-laying.
The DUAL Piping System is also conceived ‘feasible and scalable’ in multiple Materials (plastic, metallic or mixed) with its Joints in standard format; and consequently, it can be interspersed between other pipes without limitations; as well as Expand to other benefits that said ‘Materials and joints’ allow
Regarding the Installations for Water distribution, we must ‘Conceptually and initially’ differentiate those of External supply networks, arranged in Roads and public spaces by ‘Public or private entities’; in contrast to the Internal water supply and distribution installations to the ‘Building Sanitary Fixtures’ that require this service, which we will refer to more and in general in this patent.
Although the external Networks (with the Roman Aqueducts as ‘1st. milestone’ in water conduction) accompany humanity with different tenor; the ‘Internal Installations’ on the contrary develop and spread with the ‘XX Century’, in tune with its general progress. And these begin as ‘Water taps’ within a few sumptuous buildings, but in a few decades, they expand to the general of the Buildings and their service environments (Bathrooms, Kitchens and Laundry rooms), and in ‘Increased comfort’ since its Devices (Bathtubs, Sinks, Washing Machines, etc.) require a double supply: ‘Cold and hot water’. In parallel to this expansion of the service, Materials for these pipes are developed: from the traditional Metallic to the Thermo-plastic (Rigid/flexible . . . Mono and multi-layer) or mixed, all in order to Optimize their health and useful life; those that also add ‘Union systems’ in pursuit of safer and/or simpler connections.
But at present and in clear Stagnation of the Technique (or Art) in its assembly, this ‘2ble supply of Water’ required today, is expressed worldwide through double Laying ‘in Quasi-parallel’ of independent pipes (in Ø≈½″) those that require ‘Artisanal and laborious Multi-connections’; and that also in its traumatic Zones of double-connection to the Sanitary devices (Gordian NODES s/‘
Finally, and Clarification: It should be noted that regarding the Conduction of water (and other fluids) and even in external Networks, worldwide Uni-pipes continue today as the only alternative, they in various ‘Materials and joints’ and multiple Diameters . . . . However, and in only use of “cover pipes” for wiring (fiber optics, telephony, etc.), at present there are Multi-pipes (2 and more) in Unique format of ‘PE/HDPE Rolls in Ø 40 mm’; And that therefore DO NOT EXPRESS any precedent to the brand new ‘DUAL Piping System’ presented here.
Before manifesting the “Stagnation of the technique” (or Art) to the present, on the Assembly/connection of Installations for “double distribution” of Water (cold and hot- or other fluids) in the various buildings, the DUAL Piping System focuses to the ‘TECHNICIAN INSTALLER’ as REAL-CUSTOMER/User and his Productivity in these tasks, as owed Evolution (and NEW-Milestone) in these works; and from there ADDRESSES this ‘DUAL Resolution’ of Maximum relevance, since said works are usually located in the ‘final and more complex sections’ of the same, and in general in uncomfortable Sectors and/or in Intra-wall gutters.
The criteria of said DUAL-Resolution, in a technical/conceptual framework are:
Form an Unequivocal system of ‘Technical EVOLUTION’ focused on its Disruptive DUAL design′, suitable Per se for internal installations of distribution in Tandem of ‘hot and cold Water’ on the different buildings, and in that vein the ‘DUAL Piping System’ FACES and Resolves the Assembly/connection of a ‘Pair of pipes’ Operating as if it were only one, by means of ‘Plumbed and secured’ maneuvers. An Innovative dynamism resulting from this “Integral and innovative system” of Dual components (Fittings/accessories and Pipes) which, in their own Identity, are twinned by Group frameworks, that ensure sufficient Rigidity and calibrated Equidistance (between ducts) with Thermal imperturbability, all in guarantee of its exclusive ‘Plumb and Dual’ Inter-connectivity between parts; Latticed that until Normalized, will be at the criteria of the system manufacturer.
And all for the benefit of the Promptness and aesthetics of these works; given (i) ‘Reduce channeling and filling work’ if Intra-walls is installed on a traditional track; or in New maxim (ii) ‘Invites to be placed on the wall’ that requires a double-laying, be it for a ‘Fast and simple’ repair replacement of failed intra-wall installations (avoiding generalized breaks), as well as foreseen for New buildings and/or services.
That in the previously detailed and same Dual-operative provision, the DUAL Piping System ‘Untangles in its plane and Thickness’ the traumatic ‘Gordian NODES’ (Multi-connected for double-supply to the Sanitary devices/with or without between-crossings) generated in the current individual ‘Double-pipe sections’ in Quasi-parallel, by means of Magistral Dual-components designed for this purpose; that Atomize said connections to Only 2 or 3 Joints/assemblies maximum, and therefore Motorize and simplify said installations.
‘Gordian NODES’ that by virtue of their own are resolved and enhanced between the combination of their ‘Dual-BOX) 360 Bypass and simultaneous derivation’ with their ‘Extra & Fast)-dual Connectors’ and they Complemented with the ‘Dual PIPES’ and Remaining components for ‘Diversion, Control, etc., generate Magna-optimization in these Installations; and everything in ‘Materials and Joints/unions framework’ today market benchmarks and already established in the Installers.
Virtues by which this Innovative system ferociously Reduces (to ⅓ approx.) its Inter-connections and Decimates (up to 70%) the Times and labors consumed to the present by the already today Rudimentary simple double-laying; exponentiating Productivity in these works.
Conceived as an Integral and harmonious DUAL Piping System, which despite the ‘Unique type’ presented in this document as a conceptual/illustrative and non-limiting title of the same (according to ‘Section IV’) is also Per se Adequate and Feasible (manufacturable) with the General of Materials today worldwide referents for the aforementioned provision, and this via standard ‘Machines, Methods and Regulations’ (with only ‘Adaptation Investments’ and new Molds); extensible virtue to their Union systems- or Joints, since they can also be supported in the same format: be they by Thermo/electro-fusion, Cemented and/or Welded, Instantaneous (O-ring Seal) . . . and even Threaded Joints, as valid the final ‘
Qualities that to this Innovative system, allow it by a rope to ‘Couple or Intercalate’ to the general of existing pipes at present; and on the other, it can be ‘Scaled’ in diameter or ‘Expanded’ to transport other fluids, with the sole limitation of the ‘Material and joints’ in which it is adopted to manufacture.
Conclusion: All virtues in full benefit of (i) the ‘Productivity’ of the Installers, since it also reduces the ‘Handling of materials and their Stock’ on site; and for exclusivity (ii) the “Commercial Margin” of the manufacturer. Which constitutes the Innovative DUAL Piping System in “Optimal and natural replacement” of the today Rudimentary “Double laying” independent.
