Renovating the house is a big deal, and there are many doorways inside. Let's talk about household water pipes, although they look inconspicuous, but there is a lot of knowledge in them. Today, I will popularize the common sense of household water pipes, so that everyone can avoid detours when decorating.
1.When choosing water pipes, brand and quality are equally important
Selecting water pipes is a technical job. Walking into the building materials market, there are various types of water pipes, and they are also very different. So, how do we choose?
First and foremost, branding matters. A good brand often represents a guarantee of quality。Brands that have been tested in the market and have a good reputation are usually more trustworthy. Of course, brand is not the only measure, we also need to pay attention to the quality of the water pipes.
So, how to judge the quality of water pipes? In addition to seeing if the appearance is smooth and flawless, we can also gently tap the water pipe to hear if its sound is crisp. In addition, the merchant can be required to provide the quality inspection report of the product to understand the performance indicators of the product.
Here, I would like to remind you of one thing: don't be superstitious about imported water pipes! Some people think that what is imported is good, but it may not be. Some imported water pipes are only the best garbage products in China, and the quality is not much stronger than that of domestic ones. Therefore, when choosing water pipes, we still have to focus on brand and quality.
2.The color of the water pipes is not just good-looking
As you may have noticed, there are many different colors of water pipes. Some people think it's for good looks, but it's not. The color of the water pipe is mainly to distinguish between strong and weak electricity in hydropower construction. For example, red water pipes are usually used for hot water pipes, and blue ones are used for cold water pipes. In this way, it is not easy to be confused during construction, and the safety of construction can also be guaranteed.
Of course, in addition to color differentiation, we also need to pay attention to the material of the water pipe. At present, the mainstream water pipe material on the market is PPR, which is odorless and non-toxic, high temperature resistance, high pressure resistance, stable performance, and is the first choice for home decoration.
3.The diameter and size of the water pipe are exquisite
When choosing a water pipe, we also need to consider the size of the pipe diameter. Generally speaking, there are two types of water pipe diameters commonly used in home decoration: 20mm and 25mm. So, how do you choose?
In fact, it mainly depends on the amount of water used and the water pressure in the household. If you have a large household water consumption, or live in a high-rise place with unstable water pressure, it is recommended to choose a 25mm water pipe. This ensures that the water flow is sufficient and stable. Conversely, if the household water consumption is small, or if you live in a low-rise place with stable water pressure, a 20mm water pipe is sufficient.
Of course, some people may feel that the larger the diameter, the better. Not really. Excessive pipe diameter not only increases the cost, but also increases the resistance of the water, which in turn affects the flow of water. Therefore, when choosing the pipe diameter, we still have to determine it according to the actual situation.
4.Water pipe installation, top or ground?
When installing water pipes, many people will be entangled in whether to go to the top or the ground. In fact, it mainly depends on the actual situation and decoration needs of the family.
The benefit of going to the top is that it is easy to repair and replace. If there is a problem with the water pipes, we can make repairs directly inside the ceiling without destroying the walls and floors. However, walking the ceiling requires increasing the height and cost of the ceiling, and it can affect the aesthetics.
The advantage of walking the ground is that the cost is lower and the aesthetics are higher. Because the water pipe is hidden under the ground, it will not affect the overall decoration effect of the interior. However, once there is a problem with the ground, it is more troublesome to repair and the ground needs to be destroyed.
Therefore, when choosing a water pipe installation method, we must weigh the pros and cons according to the actual situation and decoration needs.
5.The acceptance of water pipes must not be sloppy
After the installation of the water pipes is completed, we must carry out the acceptance. During acceptance, we should check whether the water pipe is firm and free of leakage; whether the joints are tight and seamless; Whether the faucets and valves are flexible and free of jamming. AnotherIn addition, a pressure test should be carried out to ensure that the pressure bearing capacity of the water pipe meets the requirements.
If a problem is found during acceptance, it must be rectified by the construction personnel in time. Don't leave anything to chance, or you'll be in trouble.
Having said that.
I believe you have a deeper understanding of household water pipes. When decorating, we must pay attention to the selection and installation of water pipes, so as to ensure the safety and comfort of household water.
Here, I would like to recommend a trustworthy water pipe brand - Liansu Water Pipe. As a well-known brand in China, Liansu water pipe has reliable quality and stable performance, which is a good choice for home decoration.
I hope you can choose the water pipe you want when decorating, so that your family life will be better!
