Owners of their own home at least once thought about the establishment of water supply. And it is not surprising, because a person cannot live without water. But what to do if on special workers who would be able to establish it, there are no additional funds? The answer is simple - to make it with your own hands. The best material for this will be plastic. It is plastic pipes that are now used when creating a water supply. This material is plastic, durable and not rust. Therefore, if you decide to this step, then we will tell you how to solder plastic pipes.
What we need to solder plastic pipes
The water development procedure will not be especially difficult for you, it is sufficient to carefully follow the instructions and prepare the following tools:
- Marker for waters
- Roulette,
- Scissors for cutting plastic pipes,
- Building level,
- Shaiver (if necessary),
- Welding for plastic pipes.
If you have something not available from this list, take it in the nearest construction store, take the neighbors or for rent.
What is a welding machine for plastic pipes?
Before starting to work, you need to get a little familiar with the welding machine for the spike of plastic pipes.
Its main component is the sole, which is equipped with heating elements. Thanks to these holes, welding becomes more convenient and easier, because they secure special overlays for soldering. The temperature is adjustable using a thermostat that is located on the welding machine body. But be careful when it is selected, since it is not for all soldering clothes, you can adjust the temperature.
Process soldering
In order to solder plastic pipes, follow this instruction:
- We establish the soldering device in the proper position and fix the special lining on it also the appropriate size. I exhibit the temperature we need: for polypropylene pipes - 260 degrees, polyethylene - 220.
- We give the device 10-20 minutes. warm up to the desired temperature when the indicator goes out, know that the device reached the desired condition;
- By making pipe soldering, you need to take into account these parameters:
- Cut off the pipe of the desired length, then with the help of a solution of alcohol we clean outdoor places from fat and dirt;
- Tube and retaliatory slurry are installed in the nozzle and heating as many seconds as noted in the table from clause 3;
- The elements that we warm up connect together and insert the pipe into the socket. This process should be executed throughout the technological pause (from the table);
- Check the quality of the compound. It will be remarkable in the form of plastic rings.
How to solder?
To ensure the reliability of the water pipeline made by us, you need to follow these principles:
- The initial welding operation should be made in 5 minutes, how the soldering iron is warm,
- To weld reinforced pipes you need to use Shaver. When it can be removed from the pipe polypropylene and aluminum, which form 2 upper layers. Then, the docking of pipes is carried out in the same process (section No. 3),
- Cook plastic pipes follows when the temperature outside the window is above 0,
- After welding, pipes need to be cooled. It is impossible to be allowed to somehow scrolled or moved there and here,
- If the seam connecting turned out not very high quality, this node will have to cut and repeat the welding again,
- Be sure to follow safety techniques! Her non-compliance may entail health problems, and welded connections may turn out poor quality. Remember that the nozzles are made from Teflon and prevent the creation of Nagara,
- Then each process, the remains melted must be removed using a wooden blade. After cooling the nozzles is forbidden to remove any residues of the material used, since there is a possibility of damage to the coating. As a result, the device can be faulty.
If you are a newcomer in this case and do not really understand the principles of correct soldering of plastic pipes, we advise you to see a number of training video.
