Methods of defrosting pipes: hardware and manual

Freezing of sewerage occurs

There are several reasons for freezing water in the water supply:

1. If the depth for the sewerage facilities was not met.
2. No insulation system.
3. If there is no heating in the house.

Defrosting methods

Hardware. It implies the use of an industrial device for ice heating. It is used for metal pipes, and for plastic the device is absolutely inefficient.

Special forceps are used for communication, which are fed with electricity. Then the pipe begins to warm, and, therefore, to melt. There is no specific model of the device, which is definitely worth choosing, since they all have roughly the same price and efficiency.

Typical properties:

• Power consumption - standard.
• Output power - 300-400 A.
• Current supply 1.8-4 kW.
• Productivity: for 1 hour of work - 23 m of pipe.

For the defrosting of sewerage and water supply, the presence of liquid pressure is a prerequisite.

Defrosting in other ways

• Hydraulic level of construction
• Steel wire
• Capacity for collecting water.
• The Esmarch Mug.

For defrosting plastic products, use this instruction. The wire is leveled and connected to a level pipe at the end of which a Esmarch mug is attached. Then the executed design is gently placed in the sewer and run into it a little bit of hot water.

As the hot water begins to flow, melted ice will flow out. The reason for this is the physical process of displacing cold hot water. A container for leaking water should be prepared in advance. It is easiest to reheat the metal-plastic pipe, since special installations and pumps are not needed for it. Water easily flows out of the system.

Heating element for heating the sewer

Before defrosting the sewer pipe, it is necessary to create the following device:

1. Fastening the heating element on the plane.
2. The bending device should protrude on the edge of the board.
3. All parts of the device can not protrude beyond the board and do not contact the walls of the tract.
4. To defrost the ice plug, a certain length of plastic pipe is required, which will be a pusher for the plug. The

heater should be connected when it is in the pipe and as it melts and drains, it should be turned off.

How to thaw the pipes: not written rules

1. The frozen area can not be heated up sharply.
2. To melt the water with a normal outflow, open the water tap.
3. The defrost procedure should be started with a flow crane and completed at the standpipe site.
4. Cast iron pipes should be heated, moving upwards from the riser.

For the future, so that you do not have a question about how to unfreeze the sewer pipe, if you intend to install a sewer system in the house, remember that freezing pipes for it is unacceptable. Therefore, it is necessary to lay out communications at a certain depth for them, depending on the climate of your region. Also do not forget about the thermal insulation! So, using heat insulation materials, conduct and insulate the pipeline. This will ensure the uninterrupted operation of the sewage system and help prevent the pipeline from freezing. And, of course, good luck to you!
