Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0645498A1] A device (10) to be fitted through a hole (11) in a wall (13), comprises a through housing (24) to support a shower delivery head (14) on the outer side of the wall and to slidingly guide through the hole in the wall a flexible pipe (15) supplying water to the head (14). The through housing (24) comprises a lip seal (27) with a central passage having an edge tightly adhering to the walls of the flexible pipe (15). Disposed before and after the lip seal (27) in the through housing (24) are a first (28) and a second (29) guide surface, which maintain the pipe (15) in a substantially rectilinear configuration so as to have an outer wall substantially perpendicular to the plane of the lip seal (27) in the area of the pipe traversing the lip seal. The first surface (28) is advantageously continuous and curved towards the delivery head, while the second surface is composed of the crests of a plurality of parallel ribs (33) protruding into the housing through which the pipe passes. <IMAGE>
