Sewer in the bathroom

Water pipes

For pipelines of different purposes, different materials, pipe diameters, and the types of their connections are used. For today, the networks made of plastic pipes, as well as fittings and parts used in the installation, are very popular.

Most often used for installation are pipes:

• Metal-plastic - consists of a hollow aluminum core, the outer and inner surfaces of which are covered with polyethylene;Among the advantages can be distinguished universality, ease of installation and the ability to withstand high pressure.
• Polypropylene - the most common material for water supply networks. They are distinguished by their corrosion resistance, their long service life, the reliability of the compounds formed at their low cost( diffusion welding) and the ability to run networks of any configuration.

Sewer in the bathroom

Previously, sewage pipes were laid in most cases from cast iron. In today's time, pipes made of PVC are most often used, because they are durable, simply mounted and, compared to cast-iron, have a low weight. For their connection, use socket fittings with rubber seals.

Piping in the bathroom

Depending on the type of pipe attachment, the wiring in the bathroom can be done in two ways: open and closed. When the pipe is open, it is necessary to secure the pipes securely to the walls, in order to avoid a change in the slope of the sewer and the violation of the shape of the water pipes. This wiring allows any type of pipe to be used.

When the wiring is closed, pipes are laid in special shrouds or concealing structures, such as boxes, screens and false walls. But we must not forget that there are some limitations for the installation of polymer pipes.

Shut-off valves

In order to ensure the possibility of timely network repair, there is a shut-off and control valve for water supply and sewage networks in the bathroom. Stop valves( valves and valves) allow you to stop the water supply in the event of a breakdown, so it should be installed at the entrance to the apartment. Also, overlapping cranes are installed on each sanitary-engineering device.

It is also necessary to install devices for monitoring water pressure( reducing units, valves).Before you buy such devices, you need to make sure of their reliability, performance, monitor performance. It is important to make sure that the devices are ready for use, carefully seal and check the serviceability of each part.

Sewerage and plumbing

Sewage in the bathroom is laid taking into account the following characteristics:

1. To ensure the non-pressure flow of sewage through the network, it is necessary to adhere to certain values ​​of the slope of the pipes in all areas( 2-3 mm per running meter)
2. For connecting plumbing fixtures toonly a parallel connection is allowed, which is used to prevent the water closures from operating
3. .Flexible hoses with corrugation

The best type of main water distribution is the fan type. With it, the water is evenly disassembled at the users' connection points. In order to perform work on laying a water pipe at home, you need to read additional literature, or you can contact a qualified master for assistance.

It is very important to remember that when installing a concealed wiring, the fewest fittings on the feed line should be achieved. Equally important is the correspondence of the materials of the fittings to the material itself and the diameter of the pipe.

The quality of the installation and the validation of the entire system for the installation of communications in the bathroom is vital. On this depends the availability of a comfortable microclimate and a cozy atmosphere, not only in the bathroom, but throughout the house.
