An easy way to extend the life of ball valves in your home. Fast and efficient.

Ball valves are now installed in almost every home. They are actively used in water supply and heating systemsboth in apartments and in private houses.

Such great popularity Ball Valves won not in vain, because they reliable and easy to operate.

But ball valves do not always serve faithfully for many years.

There are a number of negative factorswhich shorten their service life, starting from too hard tap water and ending them not correct operation.

But this does not mean that the service life of ball valves cannot be extended.

There is a simple way that will help just in this.

To understand why the ball valve fails ahead of schedule, you need to have an idea of ​​how it works.

Inside the ball valve body is a smooth, solid ball, which the

• in the closed position tightly presses the fluoroplastic ring to the body and provides reliable sealing,
• and in the "open" position allows for unhindered fluid flow.

This toThe design of the crane is for work only in these two positions.

But it is not always used in this way.

In everyday life, the ball valve is often left in half-closed position or them regulate the water supply pressure, for example, into a toilet bowl.

As a result, over time, he ceases to be hermetically sealed or may even jam.

And the reason for this phenomenon is painfully simple.

Contained in water mechanical impurities and particles, at an intermediate position of the crane, settle on the walls of the ball in the form of deposits.

Therefore, the ball valve cannot be used as a control valve.

And now directly let's move on to considering the method, which allows you to extend the service life of the cranes.

In fact, everything is simple.

In order for ball valves to serve faithfully for many years, it is necessary to perform several opening and closing cycles of the valves every six months for prevention.
