HOT WATER SUPPLY PART STRUCTURE FOR BATHTUB, AND UNIT FOR COMPOSING HOT WATER SUPPLY PART

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress overheating of a hot water supply part periphery in a bathtub. SOLUTION: An opening 2b for hot water supply is formed on a side face of the bathtub 2, an adapter 10 comprising a material with higher heat resistance than the bathtub 2 is fixed to the bathtub 2 in a state inserted into the opening 2b, hot water supply piping 4 is fixed and connected to the bathtub 2 via the adapter 10, and a guide member 20 having an inner side face 2a opened into the bathtub 2 and introducing hot water in the hot water supply piping 4 into the bathtub 2 is connected to the piping 4. A shielding part 22 extending in a direction along the inner side face 2a of the bathtub 2 in a state with an interval with the inner side face 2a of the bathtub 2 for preventing convection of the hot water introduced from a hot water supply opening 20a to the inner side face 2a is integrally provided in the guide member 20. The hot water supply opening 20a, the shielding part 22, or the like are covered by a protection cover 30 from an inner side of the bathtub 2. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
