Water distribution schemes in an apartment and a private house

We repair not only furniture, floors, wallpaper, ceiling, but also the outdated water distribution system in the apartment. The layout of the water distribution system in the apartment is a system of technical products and water pipes, connecting various sanitary devices in different places of the apartment.

There are two basic schemes for supplying water to the apartment:

• Triangular( serial);
• Collector.

Traynic water distribution

Tee water distribution in the apartment is carried out in the form of a serial connection of pipes to customer points( bath, toilet, taps, washing machine, etc.) with a common riser. First of all, the main pipes for hot and cold water are connected, and then further branches are made from these pipes with the help of tees for the needs of apartment consumers. Advantages of this scheme - a small price, the most compact version, installation is simple and convenient.

The drawbacks of the tee-off scheme for the distribution of water supply pipes include the following: pressure drop at several included points of consumption;In case of leakage of one of the consumption points, disconnect the entire system;placing tees on a relatively small area is difficult.

In the case of repair work, it is possible not to block the water, if a faucet is installed in front of the plumbing at the points of consumption, overlapping the supply of water for a particular consumer.

This kind of water distribution is the best option for a small apartment, and for an apartment the collector circuit is more suitable.

Water supply manifold

The manifold water distribution is carried out according to the piping scheme to each individual point. Each object, whether it is a shower, toilet, dishwasher or a tap - receives a predetermined volume of water, even if these points are turned on at the same time.

The collector located at the inlet of the water conduit into the apartment is made with terminals, the number of which is equal to or slightly higher than the number of served points of consumption. The greater number of conclusions is clear, it is necessary, for example, when buying another washing machine or you will need to install an additional tap in the kitchen - that's when those conclusions will come in handy.

We list the advantages of the collector distribution of water supply:
1. Convenient location of the cranes, they are usually installed in a separate place, allocated for sanitary equipment.
2. Disconnection, for example, the shower will not affect the operation of other bathrooms.
3. Ensured always a stable pressure in the circuit, you do not get hot water in the kitchen, when you fill the same bathtub with water.
4. Repair is convenient and easy to perform, because there is only one pipe from the point of consumption to the collector.
5. Even if you open all the taps with hot water at once, the water temperature will not drop at least a degree.

There were some drawbacks to this scheme of water distribution in the apartment. To install it you need a lot of materials, so many pipes require adequate financial costs. It takes a lot of time to qualitatively perform this numerous wiring.

Replacing the wiring of the

To replace the wiring in the apartment, first remove the old water pipe. First of all, we turn off the risers of the water pipe, then we cut the old pipes from the valves with the Bulgarian and unscrew them, trying not to make any distortions.

How to make the replacement of pipes in the bathroom can be seen in the video.

Almost always the length of the water pipe to the valve is blocked by a mixture of sand and slag. Be sure to clean the pipe before you start the installation, usually for this use a string or a screwdriver. We change the valves and filters. When installing polypropylene pipes, we make an external chamfer at the cut, we clean the pipe and insert one side into the fitting and the other into the fitting. Then we use a soldering iron to melt the plastic, put the pipe end into the fitting and wait for a few seconds. Everything, the operation is finished - we pass to the next connection.

Water supply in a private house

At present, it is impossible to imagine a private house without a modern water supply system and it does not matter whether it's a detached house or a very small dacha. The layout of water supply for a private house is carried out on the same principle as the water distribution system in an apartment. Absolutely the same two methods - sequential and parallel. The successive method is the most optimal for connecting a water supply system in a small house. This is the same tee connection, where the pressure in the system decreases as the number of consumers increases. This way of distributing a water pipe in a private house remains the simplest and least expensive.

Parallel way, it is nothing but a collector, all the same essence, where consumers are connected individually to a common supply and there is no drop in pressure and temperature. But this method of distributing the water supply in the house is still as costly and time consuming as possible.

But still there are differences and the first distinguishing feature will be the source of water supply. In this case it is a well or a well. Further, it is necessary to have a pumping station or pump. To accumulate water and create a certain pressure, a hydraulic accumulator is necessary so that there is no contamination, a filter is used for cleaning.

Further, according to the scheme of water distribution in a private house, it is necessary to put a tee after a hydro accumulator, and on the tee there must be a stop valve with two outputs - one for the house, the other for the outlet of the water pipe to the garden. The filter is placed, of course, on the output for the house.

After the filter, another tee is inserted into the water pipe, which will divide the cold and hot water. The next stage - a pipe for cold supply is connected to a collector for cold water, and this manifold must have a stop valve at each separate outlet. The hot water pipe must be connected to a heating boiler or gas boiler, and then to a collector supplying hot water to the water supply.

Perhaps there is no need to remind that the best thing for this system is to carry out water distribution with polypropylene pipes. This is the most simple and inexpensive kind of such connections.

For the normal operation of the distribution of sewage pipes and water pipes, the following requirements must be met: without fail, after each washing machine, dishwasher, urinal, bathtub, sink and sink, install trap siphons. In shower cabins and a toilet bowl, this water trap is located in the building itself.

Obviously, there is nothing difficult to install a water supply system for a private house or apartment, but it's better to let professionals do it.
