An equipment unit equipped with a washbasin and a toilet bowl with a low tank is widely adopted. The pipe for supplying water to each of the parts arranged inside the equipment unit can be branched outside the wall of the equipment unit or can be branched inside the equipment unit to supply water.

In the former method, the water supply pipe is branched by a branch socket or the like outside the wall of the equipment unit, and each pipe is introduced into the room through the holes formed in the wall of the equipment unit.
It is a method of connecting this to each part and supplying water. However, the positional accuracy of the branch and piping outside the equipment unit is likely to be inaccurate, and therefore the engagement with the holes made in the wall of the equipment unit is not constant and the installation work of the equipment unit is extremely difficult to perform. was there. Further, since the branch socket is attached to the outside of the wall of the equipment unit, it is necessary to keep a considerable space between the equipment unit and the surrounding body such as concrete, so that the equipment unit is installed correspondingly. There is also a problem that the inside of the room becomes smaller. Furthermore, even if water leaks outside the wall of the equipment unit, it will not be found, which will lead to a large accident, and even if it can be found, if the distance between the equipment unit and the body is narrow, it is extremely difficult to repair the leak. was there.

Under these circumstances, the latter method, that is, a method of providing a branch socket inside the equipment unit and connecting with a water supply pipe indoors has been proposed. A representative example of this is Japanese Patent Publication No. 3-10772. This method has the great merit that the indoor space of the equipment unit can be widened and water leakage can be repaired indoors, but the following improvements have been pointed out. That is, in this technology,
Since the water stopper provided on the branch socket and the tank are far from each other, it is difficult for an amateur to understand how to stop the water when inspecting and repairing water leaks on the tank side. When it becomes large and becomes a counter shape, this water stopcock is hidden inside the counter and cannot be seen from the outside, which causes a problem that the water stop operation becomes difficult.
