ABSTRACT:
An improved inlet stop fixture for conventional hot and cold inlets to plumbing fixture which is threaded onto a male pipe thread with a nipple, to prevent a gap of uncontrolled length from the fixture to the wall. The improved inlet stop system includes a new intermediate element, namely a water inlet tube extension, which fits between the conventional pipe nipple and the valve fixture itself. The inlet tube extension includes an inlet coupling section, an O-ring collar, with an O-ring, and a fixture coupling threaded nipple at the far end. The water inlet tube extension is threaded onto the nipple that extends through the wall. Alternately, a non-threaded solder type connection water inlet tube extension may be connected to a non-threaded copper tube for a solder connection. In either embodiment, the inner O-ring is provided in a groove to produce a sliding fit over the body of the valve fixture. An inlet stop fixture fits over the water inlet tube extension, with a large bore area that fits loosely over the inlet coupling region of the water inlet tube extension.
