How to fix the sewer pipes yourself

How to fix the sewer pipes: the pipe fastening system for the sewage system

The installation is made using special fasteners( clamps) that protect the whole structure from deformation.

The process requires the following tools:

• Tightening round or letter "U".It can be metal and plastic;
• Lock;
• Fastening unit( eg self-tapping screw).It has an upper and a lower part, so that the clamp for fastening can be detachable and one-piece.

Steel clamp is attached together with rubber, which saves the pipeline from additional vibration. The retainer looks like a latch( polymer clamp) or a bolt( steel).While the clamps have the letter "U", the retainer is not at all, and the pipe, being inside the two girths, contracts. In this case, the fastener will be located at the bottom of the yoke or screed.

How to fasten sewer pipes: types of clamps

Separate types:

1. Crimp. Works on the principle of fixation and compression of the joint and fittings. Ensure the integrity of the structure.
2. Guide. Used for pipelines installed on support surfaces with markers and fasteners.
3. Reference. Appears assistants in fastening pipes to the wall. They have rubber vibration compensators, which also protect them from deformation.
4. Safety. Used when a complex area requires serious support in the form of a fastener.

For each specified type, schemes and method of fastening are offered. The attachment scheme to the support surface is divided into two versions:

Floating - occurs due to the guide and support clamps, which fix the diameter of the screed.

Rigid - it is carried out by means of a crimp and a support yoke, which are put on the fitting and the socket of the pipe. Their function is the union of pipes and fittings.

How to fix sewer pipes: instruction

Recommendations for installation of sewerage systems:

1. Lay a utility main to the heated zone with the help of fasteners fittings and joints. With this connection, linear deformations are absent and the system is fixedly fixed.
2. Attaches floating supports with linear expansion joints to hot water drains. The floating circuit locks the tubes from vibrations and motion even though linear extensions are still present.
3. After marking the axis of the pipeline, lay the line that is drawn on the support surface. Also determine the slope of the pipe and the number of fittings for the sewage system. According to the marks put guide collars and put a pipe in them. Install the fittings with support and crimp clips to avoid vibrations and deformations.
4. When the installation takes place for the first time, the pipe is inserted into the U-shape clamp and applied to the demountable screed. This is the final point of the coupler, which means tightening the bolt. Important! Do not tighten the collars too tightly before the sewage system is fully installed.
5. Support elements are installed according to the number of joints and fittings. An empty section of pipes without sockets and fittings is fastened with yokes of guiding and protecting type.

Important! The most reliable clamp of the pipeline is the stunt, which acts as a channel where the pipe is laid. In this installation, the clamps are only a semblance of reliability and strength of the pipeline. Proceeding from this, the most successful is the installation of the main line in a special channel in the wall. This option will save the pipeline better than any clamp and emphasize the amazing interior.
