Consumers buy plumbing for long time. At the same time the term of its operation in many respects depends on that, how correctly and accurately it is established. Correctly to establish bathtub, it is possible to address professionals. But if there is no such opportunity, necessary works should be performed by own forces.
In what sequence to establish bathtub Before independently establishing bathtub, it is necessary to dismantle old. After that all elements of drain are mounted, and installation of the bathroom is made then. Before installation of new bathtub it is desirable to make replacement of sewerage system. In case of leakage of worn-out concrete-coated iron piping the probability of dismantling of the bathroom is high. On technical and utilization properties the plastic pipes are more practical than metal.
When mounting drains (siphon, connecting branch pipes and transitions) special attention should be paid on reliability of joining of all elements – in order to avoid leakage. Therefore the sizes of inlet openings of spare parts should be checked in shop. When fastening siphon it is necessary to pay attention to modulation because when replacing old siphon new can not approach in any parameters.
As it is correct to establish bathtub
It is better to get bathtub on legs that considerably will simplify process of its installation and fastening. Adjustable legs are delivered complete with the majority of modern models of bathtubs. It is better to allocate the place for the bathroom most close to wall, having sustained small bias towards sewer draining. Such arrangement is necessary in order that all water descended in drain hole. The small distance between edge of bathtub and wall can be closed up cement slurry or normal waterproof enamel. The wall along which the bathtub is located needs also to be processed waterproofing. If the gap has turned out considerable – more than a centimeter – for its processing will be required polyurethane foam. It needs to be put on all length of slot and to leave before full drying. Since indoors the increased humidity, optimum time of hardening of polyurethane foam – day. The stiffened solution layer easily is cut off by construction knife, and the zapenenny surface is painted over.
Grounding at installation of bathtub
Water is conductive therefore at installation of bathtub the grounding is obligatory. Especially, if plumbing and sanitary plastic. Because, unlike pig-iron, plastic pipes cannot act as basis for grounding. Availability of grounding in the bathroom will secure against defeat by electric and static currents, will make process of operation safer.
