To date, the use of plastic pipes is very wide. Such pipes are not subject to corrosion and can last a long time. Another plus is that when installing them, they do not need to be cut, cook, and they have a little weight. Plastic pipes have good flexibility, which allows them to give them almost any forms that are necessary when installing. For the installation of pipes with your own hands, you will not need any special tools, but only a soldering iron for soldering pipes, with the necessary nozzles.
It provides a metal base with nozzles. The soldering iron is connected to the mains, then he heats up and after the pipe connection occurs and after. Before soldering, it is necessary to clean the pipe from garbage and small particles of plastic, which remain after trimming the pipe. At the end of the required pipe segment, the chamfer is removed and processed with sandpaper. Then the pipe and fitting are inserted into the nozzles, brought to the melting of plastic and connected to each other. Holding about 20 seconds, release, and in the end a strong connection is obtained. You need to try not to press the joint strongly, prevent distillations of parts when connecting. Further soldering near fresh connections is carried out after complete cooling.
Another simplest option for mounting pipes is with couplings. When connecting plastic pipes using couplings, no soldering iron is required. The coupling is put on the pipe and tightened along the thread. In the couplings there are sealing elastic bands and tight rings, they serve for a more tight and durable connection. So – on the clutch, all the necessary pipeline reinforcement is easily attached to the coupling.
It should be remembered that the nozzles for soldering must be kept clean, because when small debris and dirt gets in, the quality of the soldering may worsen, and defects are possible, which leads to a leak of water. It is also necessary to ensure that after soldering the hole in the pipe is not paid, for this you need to blow the pipe with your mouth. When soldering plastic pipes, it is not necessary to move in one direction and solder strictly along one fitting. It happens that in certain places it is impossible and sometimes most convenient to make larger parts, and then connect them in place.
Installation of plastic pipes yourself, not such a difficult task as it seems at first glance. It is only necessary to show aging and be attentive, and the pipes in your house will last a long time. Also, the pipes of proven brands should be purchased.
