As a key part of the home, the kitchen is the top priority in the renovation. Once the wrong water and electricity lines are installed, they have to be reworked, resulting in a lot of waste. Regarding this issue, there are some points that we must pay attention to.

PEX

The first is to determine how the water and electricity in the kitchen should be installed, and the overall number of sockets should be considered.


Since the kitchen is usually the place where water and electricity are used the most in the home, once the sockets are not reserved enough, it is easy to affect the normal quality of life.


In general, in addition to your own needs, you should also reserve 3-5 sockets for emergencies. If conditions permit, you can reserve a track socket, so that the decoration will look beautiful and practical. At the same time, in order to use electricity safely, be sure to pay attention to waterproofing. Therefore, during the decoration, it is necessary to install the socket waterproof box. This not only reduces the risk of electric shock, but also prevents oil fumes from contaminating the socket and reduces cleaning efforts.


Under normal circumstances, before we install water and electricity in the kitchen, we must design the location of water and electricity installation. On the one hand, we should pay attention to the reasonable distinction of hot and cold water pipes, and do the following three points: keep the height of the cold and hot water inlets the same; the cold and hot water inlets should be 2 cm higher than the wall; cold and hot water inlets The mouth is perpendicular to the wall, and the distance is guaranteed to be 15 cm. On the other hand, pay more attention to the treatment of the waterway joints, and use the buffer method to accumulate water to avoid the situation of insufficient water volume due to insufficient water pressure when using water.


At the same time, attention should also be paid to the concealment of water pipes to avoid long-term exposure of water pipes, which will shorten the life of water pipes. In circuit design, we must consider the feasibility and safety of socket installation in detail. Think about the electrical appliances in the kitchen in advance, the placement of electrical appliances, etc., and reserve a certain wire interface for us to use when adding appliances in the future.


Summary of points to note:

1. In the early stage, the drawings must be produced according to the on-site investigation before construction;

2. The socket is best with a switch to avoid frequent unplugging and plugging that will cause the socket to become loose;

3. Note that the electric potential and the gas should be staggered as much as possible, and the gas stove should not be too close to the refrigerator;

4. Gas water heaters should not be placed in the kitchen as much as possible;

5. The water and electricity must be tested after laying.
