ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a device which includes a connecting coupling for connection with hydromassage water circulation pipes, the connecting coupling having first coupling portion with a first aperture connected with an inlet of a hydromassage orifice, a second coupling portion with a second aperture axially opposed to the first aperture, and at least a third coupling portion with at least a third aperture, arranged at an angle with respect to the first aperture, the third aperture connected with a water circulation pipe. The device also includes a plug, capable of closing the first aperture, which is axially movable, within a coupling chamber, between the first and the second aperture and which is supported by a stem placed axially through the second aperture. Externally to the coupling, a mechanism is provided which is capable of displacing the stem of the plug axially, so as to bring the plug alternately against the first aperture, or below, at some distance from the latter.
