  • conduits typically copper of plastic piping.
  • a U bend is formed in the conduit connected to the drainage outlet, which acts as a trap. Solid matter washed down the drainage outlet will get trapped in the U bend, occasionally blocking it.
  • An aperture to the U bend is typically provided, or the whole U bend may be unscrewed, and in this manner, such blockages may be cleared.
  • the present invention is directed to providing a conduit block for replacing conventional piping under or behind a washing utensil, comprising at least a first liquid inlet conduit and a drainage conduit encased in a block; said first liquid supply conduit for connection to a faucet for pouring said liquid into said sink, and said drainage conduit connecting a drainage hole in said sink to a drainage pipe.
  • the conduit block is typically substantially rectangular.
  • the conduit block drainage conduit includes a U shaped trap.
  • the conduit block will typically further comprise a second liquid supply conduit.
  • the first liquid supply conduit is for supplying water at a first temperature

  • the conduits may be integrally molded into the block, or may be tooled out of said block after casting thereof, or, at least one of said conduits may be a conventional pipe encapsulated into said block by casting the block therearound. At least one of said conduits is lined with a different material from the material from which said conduit block is cast.
  • the conduit block of the invention may be utilized with any of a wide range of washing utensils including inter alia, kitchen sinks, bathroom sinks, washbasins, emergency eye rinsing stations, laboratory sinks, washing machines and dishwashers.
  • One advantage that the conduit block of the invention has over prior art pipework is that all the conduits may be concealed within the wall on which the washing utensil is mounted. Indeed, the conduit block may have ceramic tiles affixed to the front face thereof.
