How to treat water pipe leakage when the water pipe is suppressed

In the later stage, in order to prevent water pipes from leaking, it is more troublesome to maintain them. Basically, after installation, the following inhibition tests are required. So how do you see the water pipe leaking when suppressing the water pipe?

Turn off the water meter and hold it.

First of all, the valve behind the water meter needs to be closed before the indoor water pipe can be suppressed. Select the manual presser, and then press it slowly, generally speaking, press it to about 6 kg.

Observe the pressure change

Let's wait a few more minutes. If the pressure drops, increase the pressure to 6 kg, wait for another 20 minutes, and continue to observe whether the pressure has changed.

Judgment of water leakage point

If the pressure drop is greater than 0.5 kg, the water pipe is leaking. But if the pressure drops, but the pressing value is less than 0.5 kg, it means there is no problem and no water leakage. Next, to find the water leakage point, you can increase the pressure to more than twice, that is, to 12 kg, and then carefully observe whether there is water leakage on the ground or wall, so as to find the water leakage point and finally repair the water leakage point.

Select the appropriate water pipe material.

Whether arranging water pipes or reforming water pipes, it should be noted that the material of water pipes selected in the early stage is very important, including some pipe fittings. When arranging water pipes at home, it is best to choose ppr water pipes, and at the same time choose matching joints, using hot melt method, which is not easy to cause water leakage.

Only after passing the pressure test can the laying be carried out.

After the water pipe is installed, a pressure test is needed. Only qualified, can the floor or wall tiles be paved. Otherwise, it will leak later, and you have to rework it again, which will destroy the walls and floor tiles.
