Have you ever ever change the siphon for the sink? Most likely no, if you drew attention to this material. Perhaps you even believed that this kind of small repair of plumbers in the hands of only high-class specialists. And what do you say if in fact such work can not be more difficult to build a designer? It is not worth spending time and money on the fact that you yourself will not take more than half an hour thanks to the detailed instructions below.
Preparatory work
The very first thing is to determine the list of tools required for work:
- normal screwdriver (flat or cross);
- macate knife (if you need to shorten the length of the corrugated tube);
- packing sealant (item is optional, but can increase the reliability of rubber sealing gaskets);
- rag wipe the floors of water when dismantling the old siphon and the installation of the new, as well as excess sealant.
Now it remains only to dismantle the old siphon in order to establish the newly acquired.
Dismantling of an old siphon
Dismantle the old siphon is extremely simple. For this, it is enough just to unscrew the mounting screw in the center of the drain lattice, thereby disconnecting the entire design from the sink assembly. The corrugated hose from the reverse side of the siphon, which goes into the sewer, is removed from the hole without any difficulties.
Perhaps you may have problems when trying to unscrew the screw, since one can overrev in time to the nut being directly inside the drain pipe. In this case, it will have to tinker quite a bit, removing the bottom of the siphon, in order to be able to scroll through the nozzle and disrupt the mallantic nut. And it is possible to simply "spray" the grille with laying, as shown in the photo below.
Preparation for the assembly of a new siphon
Collect a new siphon is extremely simple. Spread neatly in front of yourself all its parts.First and foremost, we are interested in three of its most basic parts:
- foot-siphon hole with incoming and outgoing spout opening for connecting sewer corrugations;
- settler cup;
- drain connection.
It is combining these three parts together, we and collect most of the siphon.Of the smaller and more details we have:
- gasket under the cup sump;
- conical couple of gaskets for pipe and drain gofroshlanga;
- a pair of annular gaskets for sealing joints between the sink and the drain grating outside and sink and the spout beneath it;
- drain grate;
- mounting screw;
- a pair of plastic cap nuts;
- sewerage corrugated pipe.
The number of parts for a siphon with overflow bit more, but fundamentally no different equipment, exactly like the complexity of assembly.
The order of assembly of the new siphon
To begin, let's take a cup in the hands of the settler and choose the appropriate gasket under it. Here we can be useful to the previously mentioned sealant for a secure fit and seal. However, you can do without it.In short, the further procedure will be as follows ^
- Firmly connect cup sump knee siphon, not forgetting the gasket for her.
- Take the cap nut for fitting, put in series on first end of the sleeve nut and then to 2/3 of its length and conical gasket blunt side up gasket silicone grease.
- Insert pipe into the upper opening of the siphon knee, tighten the coupling nut.
- Similarly to connect lateral drain hole knee corrugated tube using a second union nut, and a conical sealing gasket.
- If the overflow siphon is provided - absolutely in the same way and collect it.
Installing the siphon collected in the sink and connect it to the sewer
It remains only to connect with the mounting screws drain grate to the sink before the assembled siphon. You should have stayed exactly two annular gasket. One use for sealing compound and the drain grating shell, and the second - the shell and the spout you previously assembled siphon.
It remains only to insert a corrugated tube into the sewer, which is to enter into a corresponding hole without any problems. Be sure to wipe away any excess sealant, and the reliability of the assembly. If somewhere there are streaks - you just need to pull the appropriate washers or cup.
In total, installing a new siphon, along with the dismantling of the old, do not take more than half an hour. Easy and the convenience of its assembly does not require absolutely no professional skills. Considering the fact that from the instrument you will need a maximum screwdriver and a knife - to assemble the siphon really forces almost anyone.
