Plumbing in the bath "by air". How to keep the water in pipes from freezing

The bath is the main attribute of our culture. In a private house, in the country, everyone has their own bathhouse. In winter, especially there is a desire to steam with a bath broom, to warm up.

Many people ask: "How to install a plumbing in the bathhouse so that the water does not freeze in frost?" We have already talked about 2 ways. Today we will consider another option "by air". There is only one drawback of this method - open pipe wiring is visible.

To arrange a permanent water supply, many people lay pipes under the ground. A layer of earth acts as a heater.

Sometimes water pipes are laid through the air, above the ground. Pipes run at a slope towards the bath. They are securely attached to the cable. When the water is collected, the excess liquid in the pipes flows by gravity back into the barrel. Such a system is quite working. However, there is another option (no bias).

How to make sure that the water in pipes (even from polypropylene) does not freeze through the air? How to install pipes without excavation (dripping trenches, pipe laying, soil compaction)?

We take the pipe and process it with polyurethane foam. Just put it on the ground or in a canopy, foam it with polyurethane foam neatly with a layer of 3-5 cm. A pipe 10-15 m will take about 2 bottles of foam.

From above you need to wrap it with foil insulation. We fix the insulation on all sides with tape.

We get pipe insulation that can be done even without a slope. The water in such pipes will definitely not freeze even in severe frost.

Instead of foam, you can wrap the pipe with foil-clad mineral wool.
