Old sewer pipes very often cause serious problems. The unpleasant smell in the apartment is not all. It is unlikely that the neighbors below will like constant leaks. To replace equipment, of course, you can call a specialist. However, it will not be too cheap. Therefore, it is worth trying to replace the pipes yourself.
Preparatory work
Installation of sewage in the apartment begins with the diagram of the future system. At the same time, all water intakes are taken into account – toilet, bidet, shells, washing machine, etc.D. After the project is developed, it is necessary to block the supply of water from the riser. Next, the hose from the toilet tank is disconnected. The latter needs to be dismantled by unscrewing the nut from the floor. Then remove the corrugations from the bath and shells. All plumbing (except for a bath, if it is cast -iron) is carried out of the room.
Dismantling of old pipes
At a large distance from the riser, the pipe can be dismantled by simply breaking them with a hammer. Cast iron is fragility and simply crumbles from strong strokes. Pieces must be removed immediately. Near the riser this method cannot be used. When dismantling a sunbed, the most important thing is not to damage the bell of the riser. The pipe should be cut by a grinder at a distance of about 15 cm from the bell. Further, the remaining piece should shake. Sometimes he falls out on his own. If this does not happen, you will have to make longitudinal cuts in a piece at a distance of 2 cm from each other. Then you need to knock on the piece. Most likely he will split. After this part of its part, it will be easy to pull it out of the bell.
Installation of a sunbed
For a sunbed, it is best to take a pvc pipe 110 mm. Installation and 50 mm equipment is allowed. However, the wider the pipe, the less often the sunbed will be clogged in the future. The only difficulty in installing in this case in the selection of siphons of siphones of the tender equipment. A special cuff is used to connect to the bell. It is inserted inside and smeared with sealant. Next, the end of the sunbed is turned into it.
Connecting plumbing
If the toilet is started directly in the riser, there will be no problems. When joining him to a sunbed, it is best to take corrugation and a tee with angles of 45 grams. All tees must be compacted with a rubber coupling or sealant to avoid leaks. After installing the shells, connecting the corrugation of the bathroom and insert the corrugation of the toilet into the riser, the latter is screwed back to the floor. Next, you can connect the tank, open the general cranes and check the work of the assembled system.
The most difficult thing in the installation of sewer pipes with your own hands is to dismantle the old sunbed. If this work is done carefully and accurately, the success of the enterprise is guaranteed.
