Pipe

Pipes are classified depending on the application for: water pressure, sewer, gas, heating, and for cable, telephone and electrical wires. We will consider those that are directly related to your home plumbing. Pipes made of steel, like zinc, and not cast iron, plastic and ceramics. Separately, you can select stainless steel pipes, which are much longer than other steel pipes, looks pretty nice and do not require additional processing (eg, spraying) during the operation. There is also asbestos and metal pipes. How well the plumbing pipes, largely depends on the material from which they are made, and the quality of the workmanship. The latter continues to be desired. 0B evidenced by the annual summer-spring-autumn and sometimes winter repairs. You can not even leave the house, just look out the window. Vengeance roars excavator, gnawing into frozen ground, can hear cheerful shouts of foremen, tired men, without much enthusiasm to perform ordinary chores. It is - sad and, unfortunately, the inherent lyricism of our public life. But do not let the bad news, let's talk about the kinds of pipes, their features and advantages. Steel pipes So pipe. The most popular and familiar among them are galvanized steel pipes, and I must say, the full law. Steel has been and remains perhaps the hardest industrial material used in large-scale modern industry and for domestic purposes. In addition, we must tell you that further enhances the strength of steel pipes way of cooking. Two methods: welded and seamless. As the name suggests, the first method involves the use of welding and the inevitable seams at the joints in the field of welding. It is here that the most likely to cause defects in the case of low-quality connection parts of pipes in one whole. Therefore, the best quality and durable of all beings is a seamless, seamless tubes of steel, coated with a deposited layer of zinc (for some reason and called zinc). Seamless pipes are common, not assembled from components, which ensures their durability. A zinc, which may be borne by such tubes, saves you from having to take other extra measures to protect them from the formation of rust bloom. These tubes do not require priming and painting, except in places designated for the compounds (which are marked thread, and when this operation will inevitably damaged galvanizing). Do not be lazy to take care of it: setting in her apartment seamless galvanized pipe, primed and paint it on the ends, with image carving. If you have purchased non-galvanized seamless pipes, treatment should be subjected to the entire outer surface of the product. As welded and seamless pipe - galvanized or not - are interconnected with special devices with an unusual name for our ears - fittings, which we have already mentioned. Afraid of this word is not necessary. Fittings themselves are simple in appearance, they have another name - clutch. Have you seen them probably a hundred times, stopping the eye at the joints of pipes. Remember one thing: the steel pipes must connect to the same steel fittings, that is, products from the same material as the pipe. Why are we talking about? The fact that there is a bad tradition of joining steel pipes cast iron fittings, not of malice, but out of ignorance or negligence. What happens at the same time? Being in direct contact with pig iron, the material is subjected to corrosion treatment (galvanized steel), begins to be subjected to the destructive influence of iron, gradually rust and "death" sticks to the ineligible alien cast iron fittings. By itself, cast iron fitting is quite good and reliable, but its use is desirable in the collection of cast iron as components or in combination with other homogeneous metals. For steel, he will not do. We'll talk about fitting in the future, but now say only that this simple device is generally better to have a reserve in the pantry, and in several instances. You are curious to learn how to distinguish iron from steel. This will help you avoid mistakes when selecting pipes themselves, without professional assistance. So, read and do not panic. Express her on the metal, causing your doubts, a few drops of sulfuric acid, following the utter caution. Wait a bit - three or four minutes - and wash with water place that kapnuli. In any case, whether steel or iron on the metal will soon tread the characteristic spot. The whole point is, what it will be in color. If black, it means that before you steel. And rather than tread the black spot, the steel is better - a measure of the quality of tempering steel. If the tread is slick gray in front of you - a pipe made of iron. Do not be afraid that the stain will ruin the tube or at least its appearance, no! It is easily washed off with water. Depending on its thickness, the pipes are divided into three types: light, ordinary and reinforced. You should know that a considerable thickness of metal has a positive side (high corrosion resistant) and negative: they are worse and severe bend in the repair and installation works. Different steel pipe and the diameter, and stands out both external and internal diameter of pipes. The last we can see by looking through the tube to light as to why it is called the diameter of the light. Bore diameter is taken into account in major construction works. Cast iron pipes in home plumbing - the traditional material, which has its own reasons: it is relatively cheap, reliable enough, why, and continues to be an alternative to pipes made of stainless steel or metallopolimerov. As much as we may want to avoid this, again, has to dwell on the quality - it is as traditional for the domestic plumbing. Himself cast has got nothing to do with it. He has brought much benefit to mankind since the days when it learned of his produce. The whole point is to manufacture it, we often limping. Therefore, we have been telling you about the advantages of metal pipes, which are mostly made abroad, and the galvanized, seamless steel tubes. The latter are also made by domestic manufacturers, but the method of manufacture is largely guaranteed quality. How to detect flaws in cast iron pipe? Of course, in the first place through careful examination of its exterior surface. It should not be hills, valleys, gaps or cracks, foreign spots, indicating the presence of slag. Pay attention to the section of pipe: what is the quality of the metal itself? Tube wall along its entire thickness from the front to the inside should be uniformly fine-grained, dense, homogeneous. In addition, make sure your pipes by prostukivaniya: the sound should be smooth and hollow, and in places where the audio tone changes, probable internal defect. Here the situation - as with a sick tooth decay process which may take place under the outwardly prosperous look. To detect such damage and applies prostukivanie. Acquired iron pipe must be protected against corrosion, or in continuous operation, it does not serve you for a long time. One way to protect against corrosion is to coat the outer surface of the pipe with bitumen, which is made from petroleum. Of course, you can apply it themselves, having the right experience and materials. Further it is necessary to remind you how important it is correct, high-quality cast-iron pipe joint designs. You must have a high quality, oakum, made from hemp fibers and of sufficient length. Tow should be free from all impurities and does not contain a timber. Tow the timber can not properly perform its insulating function, resulting in a pipe soon begins to seep into the joints. Consequences are well known: wet ceilings or floors are rotten. Strictly speaking, we would not recommend you carry out installation of cast iron pipe to their homes in the absence of a specialist. The highest priority in our conditions still is holding this type of work a competent master, looking for work where you can learn a lot. Nuances and tricks here - a great multitude, as when you install the power system. Therefore, follow the wise rule: "I'm not sure - not try." But we have a concern that we scare you iron. Well, thank you! Everything will be fine. This is an excellent plumbing material and in the capable hands it becomes a powerful and reliable water supply network. Instead of cast iron, you can use ceramic tubes: both the first and second are successfully applied for external sewerage system. In addition, the ceramic tubes are protected from corrosive damage the special coating. Used for this purpose particularly resistant glaze, which is covered by both external and internal surface of the pipe. The walls of the ceramic tubes are thick - up to 40 mm, which is an excellent guarantee of strength, and are interconnected they are lighter than cast iron, this, in particular, promotes a particular form of the bell and the opposite, entering the mouth of the tube end. Ceramics in general have found themselves in plumbing the most widely used, and rightly so: it is economical, hygienic and safe material. Asbestos Pipe prices do not they have been, whether you have the opportunity to prepare himself asbestos-cement mixture, molded it and then gently put into the trench dug by a sewer, or into the recesses intended for drawing combustion products into the ventilation network. But you do that, unfortunately, can not - do not have the necessary equipment. So have to buy a ready-made. But this is not a nuisance - they are quite durable and relatively inexpensive. And here is transportation, so something on our roads can turn and high-quality asbestos cement pipes in the likeness of cracked glass ware, ready to flow. Here's to you - the trouble and frustration. So try to bring the pipe as possible with care, as it neatly and mount them. In this case, they will serve you reliably - can rest easy. Pay attention to their appearance when you buy: the joints must be tight and smooth. By the undeniable merits of the asbestos cement pipes is their ability to process the installation using special tools. Pleasantly different asbestos compounds and their nonsusceptibility to action sewage. They can be successfully used for the ventilation system. Asbestos - a material plumbing universal, it is used not only for closing sockets and repair of pipe joints, but also for the manufacture of pipes themselves. Pipes from metallopolimerov return to the kinds of tubes. And not the usual, about the variations which we have also say, as to what is called "high-tech product." This, as you probably already guessed, is a metal-pipe connections. This is an absolute achievement of modern science and technology, whose first appearance in consumer culture is still fresh in our memory. The man who never had affairs with such tubes, familiarity with them will certainly surprise and perhaps excitement. There is no exaggeration. The fact is that despite the high strength of these pipes were bent force of hands, which greatly facilitates the process of installing them in the apartment. And this is not their only advantage. They are so easy (you are surprised) that the 10-meter pipe metallopolimerov will weigh only 1-2 kg, depending on what the diameter of the product you buy. This diameter is generally in the range of 16 to 30 mm. Mounting the pipes are, you're dealing with a sort of hard clay, flexible and obedient in the hands of an experienced master. If you is not, through some unfortunate quirk of fate, contact a professional. Your apartment will be transformed in a matter of days, and without the accompaniment of welding flashes, knocking on metal and vodopodtekov. When you go in search of pipes metallopolimerov, feel free to move to the "bay", is strongly reminiscent of the long, convoluted in terms of the hose. Exactly look formed by metal-pipe. These pipes transcend any cold - frost reaches 40 ° C below zero. In resistance to the hot temperatures here can also be no doubt: the limit - not less than 95 ° C. They are harmless from an environmental standpoint as well, which is very important, almost no corrosion (advantageous contrast to pure metal!) And is not prone to clogging - by virtue of its elasticity. Continuing the praise it's progress, remember the notorious production quality. Because poor manufacturing can cast doubt on any interesting novelty, induce any customer, and even the master-builder confidence in this type of product. Here you will common sense, observation and experience, as well as - if not the last - what is now called "solid trading firm." Referring to such institution, you are certainly paying more than the market, but at the same time, almost 100% can be assured of a good quality of this type of pipe. A few words about what metallopolimerov. In this case - aluminum, combined with the surrounding layers of polyethylene, which has a special strength. The thickness of the structure, in other words - of pipe walls, hovering around 2 mm. They can be used not only for water supply, but also for the heating system - metal-pipe designed for this, as can withstand the required pressure of water on his wall when you receive it in a thermal battery. In the sewer system, they are not commonly used. When buying a metal-pipe pay attention to what color they are painted. Blue and blue indicate that these tubes are designed for cold water supply (stand-zero temperature to 30 ° C), and white pipes used for heating and hot water. It is curious that these fragile items, at least in comparison with the same steel, can withstand water temperatures over 100 ° C. Of course, we must bear in mind that this increase in temperature of hot water can not be prolonged. Do not be concerned about the unusual nature of these tubes. They are beautiful, fairly well connected with other sanitary devices, and why have the corresponding parts. And it does not matter what material it is made or any other equipment that you want to attach a metal-pipe, there are no problems in any case - accessories designed for all options. If you are reaching maturity, equip your apartment with quality pipes from metallopolimerov, you can easily live a hundred years. Change you will not have them - so they are durable. But in the second century of life will once again address this issue - according to studies, the shelf life is not more than sixty years. You may be wondering whether or not these products at least some deficiency? There. And considerable. They are very expensive. This is especially true for imported tubes. But there's cards - into your hands. It is curious that we are considering "high-tech product" finds a great application not only in plumbing, for which he designed in the first place. We are again going to surprise you. Have you heard anything about the so-called "warm" floor? Probably yes. And if so, then most likely dealt with this way of organizing the heating room on the upper floor concrete floor electrical wires. They are subject to mandatory ground, laid on aluminum foil, and then make the front half of the material required. And all this could be replaced with the best effect of these wonderful metal-pipe. How? It's easy! The Swedes have long been engaged in this. On rough concrete floor is placed a layer of mastic, which are glued flat pieces of foam, which acts as insulation. Then the floor is lined with all of the same aluminum foil - without it can not do anyway, since it provides the necessary reflection of heat rays. Now came the turn of the wonderful tubes. Uniformly, in the form of several circles, placed on the pipe above the floor so as to ensure optimum heating apartments. Then the tube is filled with concrete (the thickness of the tie will be no more than 5 inches), after which, on drying of concrete, is the front floor, under which is already heating system. Can be taken from the apartment unnecessary battery, their absence significantly increase the floor space, making it more convenient, will save the hassle associated with the breakthrough of the heating system, at least in your apartment. Plus to this - if you prefer "warm" floor of the pipes "warm" same sex from the power cable - you'll save a decent amount of money on electricity with the same convenience.

In addition, you save yourself from risk, which - intentionally or not - always carry the power grid. And yet another advantage of "warm" floors metallopolimerov. Heating, located above the floor, I mean the battery, distributes heat far from uniform. Most residents of multi-storey buildings know: on the floor spreading cool air and heat, bypassing the floor, rises to the ceiling, dividing the flat layers. Particularly sensitive people because of this situation often get cold. The option that we just brought in connection with metal-tube, completely eliminates these problems. The heat coming from the underground pipes, heats evenly and gradually from the flat floor to ceiling, creating a healthy atmosphere temperature. The only sign of the presence in the room heating system is carefully placed in a corner of white trubootvod The metal, which is directly connected to a common heating system for your home. It's just great, is not it? Plastic pipes So plenty porasskazav you about "high-tech product", we return to other types of pipes included in the arsenal of modern plumbing. Oddly enough, but with this kind of plumbing know almost everyone, perhaps not realizing it. The thing is that because of low heat resistance of plastic pipes in the home are not used, but the elements of these pipes are in the overwhelming majority of Russian bath and kitchen rooms. To see them, enough to look under the sink basin and look at the bent water pipes drain (siphon). Yes, if you do not have metal, so - plastic. This is - one of the most vulnerable domestic plumbing fixtures, on already above reason - the low heat resistance. At the same time replacement of the drainage device made of plastic (for a detailed description of these and other plumbing fixtures see below) provides the easiest. If the damage is one of the constituent components of the drain, you can repair the damage yourself, without resorting to the help of a specialist, simply replacing broken parts with new. It's enough to block the water in the apartment, go to the store, supplying the population of household plumbing appliances, buy the desired item or complete and return home to promote a plastic device, insert a new item to replace the old, carefully assemble the unit in reverse order (it's easy) paying attention to the smooth placement of pads, and back on the water. Under the repaired pipe pre-position the bucket, just in case, and make sure that the more you have no leaks. That's the whole repair. Now let's talk strictly about plastic plumbing fixtures, giving her as much as possible, a complete characterization. Especially for those who still do not know the firm: plastic pipes made of plastic or, to put full-bodied, plastic mass - the source material of many plastic products industry. Plastic can be of two types, defined by specific substances, of which they consist. The first is the so-called thermoplastics. Their peculiarity is that, when heated, they soften. As a rule, they have more flexibility, non-friable, plastic. Examples of thermoplastic materials: plexiglass, polyethylene, etc. If you want to see what can be cooked from termoplastovoy masses, take clothespins, plastic and admire. The second group of thermosets - does not soften when heated. Most often, these plastics are fragile, but more durable. For the manufacture of home plumbing devices are thermoplastics such as polyvinylchloride unplasticized, specific density and strength of polyethylene and other materials. Not distinguished by such diverse properties and capabilities as the product of metallopolimerov, plastic plumbing however, has many positive features. On the simplicity of assembling plastic sewer laterals, we talked a little higher. They are easy, but it is convenient for transportation. In addition, pipeline, plastic little prone to corrosion processes that ensure its greater durability. Plastic does not need painting, it is smooth as polished wood, making the pipes better chance moves appeared in a sewer system, garbage. As a result, the risk of contamination with careful use of such fixtures is minimized. Plastic products virtually not affected by condensation, but it does not admit of noxious fumes in home bathrooms. Returning to the production of plastic pipes, it must be said that most often the source material for the manufacture of unplasticized polyvinyl chloride is used because it has the highest strength and heat resistance. Industry produces plastic pipes of different size and diameter. You can purchase, depending on your needs, the pipe length in 2 and at 10 meters, with a hole diameter of 40 to 100 mm, which is fully consistent with the practical need in their application. We can not say about another little-known fact: the fact that the water systems of metal pipes may cause such an unpleasant and even dangerous phenomena such as stray currents. In a plastic water pipe is practically impossible. Concluding the introduction of plastic pipes, will remind you all about the same as the product on which you should look for when buying it. Arrange inspection of plastic pipe is a snap because it is lightweight and small in volume. Do not recommend you buy plastic with burrs and irregularities on the surface. It is also important to cut at the end of the pipe was strictly vertical - it is a necessary condition for quality of installation.
