Laying water supply, sewerage is an integral part of repair and construction work. For correct and technically competent installation, a design scheme of engineering communications is drawn up.
As a rule, laying a water pipe in a private house begins with an inlet tap. After that, a mud filter is installed, then a check valve, then a meter showing water consumption, a tee, then two taps on the main line. So you get two water branches. As a rule, two highways are enough for a one-story building.
Plumbing includes connecting the toilet cistern, water heating equipment, kitchen sink and bath faucets, washing machine.
It is recommended to connect mixers to different lines. In the case of repairing one branch, this will allow you to continue to use water. Repairs can take several hours, or even a whole day. Experts recommend installing valves for cold and hot water in front of each mixer. In this case, the repair will have little effect on the availability of water.
Plumbing involves the use of special tools and fixtures. In particular, you will need taps, fittings, a mud filter, fasteners, thermal insulation for pipes, and a check valve. The laying of the water supply is carried out using metal pipes with a diameter of twenty-five millimeters for passage through wall holes. The length will depend on the thickness of the wall. To drill holes in the wall, you will need a drill with an impact mechanism, a Pobedite drill (six millimeters), a knife for cutting pipes made of metal-plastic, a gas and adjustable wrench, a puncher and a drill.
The laying of water supply today is carried out using metal-plastic pipes. To create connections, a special soldering iron for metal-plastic is used.
Before purchasing material, certain calculations must be made. To do this, you need to decide exactly how the highways will go. Then, using a tape measure, you should measure the distances between the walls where the pipes are supposed to pass. After measurements, all distances are added up. About three more meters of pipe are added to the result obtained, in reserve. As a rule, the sixteenth metal-plastic pipe is used.
Plumbing involves the use of fittings. They are different. Calculating their exact number is difficult. This is due to the fact that in the process of work some of them may not be useful or something, on the contrary, will have to be bought in addition.
Important parts of the plumbing are faucets. Typically appliedtraditional bronze or ball valves, which are fifteen millimeters in diameter.
Plumbing is carried out using thermal insulation material. It prevents condensation from forming, which can cause serious problems.
The pipes are fastened with clamps. These devices, in turn, are fixed with the help of "driving" - sets of steel self-tapping screws and plastic dowels.
