"Plumbing work in the bathroom

Comments · 69 Views

Bathroom renovation is considered one of the most difficult. This is due to plumbing work, which requires certain skills and great responsibility. Mistakes made can flood your neighbors and cause great damage.

Design
 
 It is necessary to draw up a detailed diagram of the location of pipelines and plumbing fixtures. Based on this, it will be clear to you what kind of drain fittings you will need and how many pipes you need to buy.
 
 Method of pipe installation
 
 The easiest way to lay pipes is in an open way. However, this option is not suitable if you have serious requirements for the interior design. To lay pipes in a closed way, grooves are made.
 
 Dismantling old pipes
 
 To remove old pipes, you may need a hammer drill and a grinder. During this work, be sure to use a dust respirator and glasses. Before starting dismantling, turn off the water. Once the pipes are cut, install new taps on the riser branches.
 
 Types of pipes
 
 It is important to choose the right material. Pipes are:
 
 metal;
 
 polypropylene;
 
 polyethylene;
 
 metal-plastic.
 
 Metal pipes are rarely used these days, as they have many disadvantages:
 
 complex installation;
 
 need for welding work;
 
 corrosion;
 
 clogging due to salt deposits on the inner surface of the walls.
 
 It is best to use plastic pipes for bathroom plumbing. They are lightweight and easy to install. Connecting fittings for them are inexpensive.
 
 Installation of plumbing fixtures
 
 After the pipes are installed, it is necessary to install:
 
 bath or shower;
 
 toilet;
 
 be;
 
 sink;
 
 heated towel rail.
 
 Floor-standing toilets are most often installed . For hygiene purposes, it is recommended to install a suspended toilet . It makes it easier to keep the floor clean. Acrylic bathtubs are considered to be among the best. They are installed on a special frame. They have a long service life and look beautiful.
 
 We recommend not to save on plumbing fixtures, as your comfort depends on them. In addition, by installing plumbing fixtures of dubious quality, you risk flooding your apartment and ruining the renovation."
