At present, PPR pipe is the most commonly used in home decoration, which has the advantages of environmental protection and health, high temperature resistance, pressure resistance, long service life, simple installation, and low price.
PPR pipe fittings are required to change the direction of the waterway or increase the water outlet during waterway reconstruction.
Let's take a look at the "magic use" of some pipe fittings. Three corners: when the water pipes need to be branched, there is no need to connect multiple pipes; cross bridges: when the water pipes cross, the two paths are integrated.
Details to pay attention to when installing:
Pipes and fittings of the same brand: pipes and fittings must use the same brand, and different manufacturers must use different materials and formulas, even if they are melted together, they will leave hidden dangers.
Different tanks for water and electricity: If there is water leakage or condensation, it is easy to soak the wires, which is very dangerous. It is better to be more than 10cm apart. If there is a water and electricity crossing, the principle of "underwater electricity" is adopted.
Different tanks for hot and cold water pipes: Keep the distance between the hot and cold water pipes above 15cm. If the hot water pipe is close to the cold water pipe, the thermal insulation of the hot water pipe will be reduced. In addition, because the water pipe is grooved deeply, it is necessary to avoid transverse grooves, because the transverse grooves will damage the wall structure.
Hot left and cold right: "Hot left and cold right" is the standard construction principle. If it is installed backwards, especially the position of the shower, it will be very inconvenient for you to use.
Positioning of the faucet locator: The faucet locator is also called the conjoined female bend, which is mainly used for the positioning of the outlet of the hot and cold pipes. If the hydropower master is not careful or does not have enough skills, the hot and cold water outlets will not be level, or the spacing will be too large or too small, which will cause the shower mixing valve to be unable to install, or the installation is unsightly. The faucet locator can avoid this problem.
Install the water pipe buckle: The laid hot and cold water pipes must be fixed with a buckle, and try to install a buckle every 60cm. Avoid the displacement of the water pipes during the later renovation process, which may cause the joints to fall off and become loose, and cause hidden dangers of water leakage. At the same time, avoid heavy objects on the water pipes after laying the water pipes.
Waterway marking: When tiling tiles, it is best to mark the waterway and circuit, so as to avoid drilling holes to damage the waterway and circuit when installing various racks later.
