If you send us a sketch, we can build a spout as per your custom request.Įvery situation is different, you should evaluate the following:ġ) are you bringing in hot&cold or premiscelated water?Ģ) you should reduce pressure so to avoid water sprinkling under the cover (and since it is not sealed, from leaking out)ģ) use 180degrees elbow to direct water away from the lidĤ) do you have also a line for recirculated water?ĥ) you should open holes on site to match size and location of your piping check: reference diagram for spout plumbing You can find here some shapes for your reference (pdf download). Please be aware that this shape (column type) will be quite expensive.Ī wall mounted spout costs about 700~800 USD (both for hinoki and asnaro) Spout consisting of a wooden box with a "beek" sloping outwards. Plumbing is same as floor mounted type.īasically you can feed the H&C water pipes (or premixed water) into the This detail is hidden inside the spout head. The wood rim forms a kind of a dam in order to distribute water evenly in a thin layer from the wide spout. This can be fixed to the wall of laid on the tub edge.The spout is easily inspectable for mainenance. This socket is not longer than the thickness of the batten, so it will not reach the floor, even if you do not connect it to the drain pipe. Long type ends in a female socket (50mm, thread 1 1/2") so you can connect it to the drain. Please find here an enlarged detail of the fitting. Discharge is uncostrained and is applied usually when there is a waterproof pan (under the tub) and then towards a floor drain.

Short type fitting ends with a brass nut. Also, it might be easily stepped on when entering the tub. Location: consider that if you have the drain in the middle of the tub, there is no place to attach the chain to. Since the planks are made of solid wood, it will be an easy job for your carpenter. This allows for precise coordination with the site and last minute change of mind.

We can install the drain or if you feel uncomfortable to decide a location now, we can provide you the fitting and have you drill the hole on site. The drain can be directly connected to the plumbing or can discharge into the waterproof pan. Remember that hinoki planks can be 33mm or 42mm thick. You are welcome to find a better drain from a plumber near you. More stilish alternatives include stainless plugs button operated but this require coordination on site. We can supply 2 types of drain fitting (see here to the right) It might be not the slickest design but it is safe, standard and easy to use. The standard solution is a rubber plug with chain. 2 plugs with chains prevent the seat from floating. The plank has some play to allow for natural dilatation and shrinking of wood. We have 2 wooden lateral guides and a thick plank as a seat. Overwhelmed by many requests, we can now propose a removable type bench. It is not reccomendable to use removable planks/benches inside the tub as it would definately scrath the bottom and walls of the tub, besides originating rot on the edges of the sit. The bench should be fixed otherwise it would float. This is recommended only for tubs that are enough deep or enough long. If required, we can equip the tub with an internal bench. But first of all ask yourself: do I really need a tub cover? (easier to use but takes more space when stored) This will be more costly.ĭesign and propostions are arranged to have a nice balance with the tub. We can also propose a lid in 2 pieces with handles. It is a common practice to use them upside-down alternatively to prevent the warping. When the lid is used to prevent the water from cooling down (which is the normal use in Japan) planks tend to warp overtime. This type is easy to store as the planks can be piled up. The traditional tub cover consists of thin separated planks of wood.
