What details should be paid attention to in the installation of PPR pipes and fittings?
1. Pipe fittings of the same brand
Pipes and pipe fittings should use the same brand, and the formula of materials used by different manufacturers must be different. Even if they are hot-melted together, there will be hidden dangers.
2. Different water and electricity tanks
If water leaks or condensation occurs, it is easy to soak the wires, which is very dangerous. The best distance is more than 10cm. If there is a water and electricity crossing, the principle of "submerged electricity on" is adopted.
3. Different slots for cold and hot water pipes
The distance between the hot and cold water pipes should be kept more than 15cm. If the hot water pipe is next to the cold water pipe, it will reduce the thermal insulation of the hot water pipe. In addition, due to the deep grooves of the water pipes, horizontal grooves should be avoided, because the horizontal grooves will damage the wall structure.
4. Left hot and right cold
"Hot on the left and cold on the 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.
5. Faucet locator positioning
The faucet positioner is also called the conjoined female bend, which is mainly used for the positioning of the water outlet of the hot and cold pipes. If the plumber is not careful or the craftsman is not at home, the hot and cold water outlets will not be level, or the distance will be too large or too small. This can cause the shower mixing valve to be unable to install, or to install unsightly. The faucet locator can avoid this problem very well.
6. Install the water pipe buckle
The laid hot and cold water pipes must be fixed with snaps, and try to install a snap every 60cm. Avoid the displacement of the water pipes in the later decoration process, which will cause the joints to fall off and loosen, resulting in hidden dangers of water leakage. At the same time, the laid water pipes should avoid heavy objects pressing on the water pipes.
7. Waterway signs
When tiling tiles, it is best to identify the waterway and circuit to avoid drilling damage to the waterway and circuit when installing various hangers in the later stage.
