Secrets of installation of utilities in the bath

It is difficult to imagine a country house without a bath or sauna. Relax, warm up the heart, relieve fatigue, or use the bath as a temporary dwelling in the construction of the main house - a lot of use cases. It is not surprising that the growing interest in the topic among users by year FORUMHOUSE year "Development Bath".

Our portal has in detail told, how to build their own proper bathWhere she was placed on the site, how to get a steam bath. We continue this theme. From our material you will learn:

• What utilities are needed.
• How to mount a simple and budget plumbing.
• What nuances should be considered when installing the electrics.

Nuances of the installation and choice of utilities in the bath

Without well-constructed communications - water supply (option - to carry water from a well, not considered), electricity, ventilation, sewage and drainage, can not be normal use of the bath. At the same time, due to the nature of the mode of operation baths or saunas, as it is - high humidity and temperature, to utility networks are special requirements for safety and use durability.

In addition, at the design stage is necessary to determine whether the bath detached construction, or we shall restrict the construction of a simple sauna inside the house.

Practice shows that most of the bath in a separate building pomyvochnaya and bath complex. There are both options relatively simple baths / saunas, as well as complex and costly facilities (with swimming pool and spa area) used for leisure and entertainment activities.

Regardless of the option of using the bath, remember the cardinal rule: first, to do the project (based on the preferences of the owner and the alleged mode of operation of "wet" rooms).

Now forward the necessary volume of water consumption, as well as determine the required number of delivery points. This - the shower or shower, sink with mixer, the point of connection of the washing machine, the toilet supply, storage tank, etc.

Further choose bannuyu oven.

If the heat source is assumed heater, counting, whether withstand additional load electric network. Do not forget about the water heater for hot water, and it is also an additional burden on the power grid.

In advance think over how to bath carry electricity supply (underground or air method) and water. Is there enough debit well as recycle effluent if septic cope with the mass of water discharged, or it is necessary to design the separation of waste, etc.

Only after collecting all the necessary data and having estimated the approximate number of people who will use the room, you can go to the designing of engineering networks and direct the construction of the bath.

Such an approach - careful planning will avoid costly rework in the future, when the bath / sauna is built. For example, it appears that the electrical wiring and the machines do not pull the connected electrical equipment, not enough points for plumbing connectionAnd the pump capacity is not enough to rapidly fill with water font or pool.

Especially a lot of, for each of them, you can write a separate article. Those who wish to find answers to the above mentioned questions is recommended to read the article: how to make their own septic tank and meet all of the boundaries of the treatment plant to other facilities in the area, whether or not to make a "wet" zone in the homeand Features installation of ventilation in wet areas.

Go ahead. Take, for example, the usual "budget" bath - wooden structure of timber or logs. It is necessary to mount the water supply system and to carry out the electrics. Needs to understand: what basic moments pay attention to build quality engineering services.

Installation of water supply in the bath

The first thing you should think in the design of water supply in the bath - the mode of its operation - seasonal or year-round. If winter bath will not be used, or it is supposed to run only on weekends, it is necessary to ensure the discharge of water from the pipes and from plumbing (eg, toilet). If not, then at low temperatures the water may freeze and break the tube.

Our users solve this problem in different ways.

Kolek2575 (Member FORUMHOUSE):

I plan to put in the bath furnace with water heat exchanger on the pipe. Frosts we reach - 30 ° C. I have not decided yet what to do with water. Leave tear. Drain every time?

According to experienced participants, the options may be two: either drained or prevent freezing bath. For example, on the advice of Dokainfo, We use the self-regulating heating cable.

After completion of the bathing water treatments drained from the heating tank and shower. That water freely merged into the well, submersible pump set to a check valve.

When mounting such a system, provided the necessary biases pipes so that the water flow freely by gravity.

But the heating cable - it is an additional complication during installation. It is also possible power failures. If to create pressure in the water supply pump station is used, the bottleneck becomes the accumulator. From it, with occasional visits to the bath in winter, have also drained or removed completely station and store it in a warm room.

An interesting way to water baths, which use the users of our portal in the winter time.

Sanap (Member FORUMHOUSE):

Summer for bath water, I use a pumping station + mounted electric water heater. As soon as the temperature goes minus merge all the water from the tap, while in winter operation for using imported water bath. For 2-3 people, to wash, enough 50-70 liters. For contrasting procedures wiping snow.

Also interesting is the experience of the user with the nickname 8k84r. Water bath so made - the water from the well submersible pump bobs. Above the steam bath, a heated room, mounted accumulator, and electric storage heater for heating the water in the summer. Plus an open system with a tank, a fed from the accumulator.

When leaving open all the taps and the water discharged into the sewer. Turning off the pump, the pump zavozdushivaem highway. On all leaves about 5 minutes. Arriving, flooded bath, close the valve and turn on the pump power.

For clarity offer scheme bath water system from Putnik2008.

Note: The water is used to heat the copper tube bent into a spiral, which is laid on the electric sauna stove stones.

The applied volume 30 liters canister as a storage tank.

Putnik2008 (Member FORUMHOUSE):

The pipe with hot water, I added a wall outlet to connect the boiler. Polypropylene pipes laid with a slight gradient so that when severe frosts could be drained from the system. I soldered the whole system itself.

Also, for a simple bath water supply schemes can be in the "attic" to mount a capacity of 200 liters, which will provide enough water pressure at the tap is opened, or to wash in the shower. After completion of the valve opening minute reserve bath treatment at 15, until the water is drained by gravity back into the well, but this Spartan system is suitable, of course, not all.

Bottleneck samotochnoy system at an irregular use of the bath in winter, frost may be depth, which depends on the region. To prevent freezing of the pipeline, it lay below the depth of freezing is used heating cable or insulated.

To learn how to make a simple and effective winter running water that does not freeze in subzero temperatures and which does not require heating cable, described in the article, Preparation for the winter garden.

Features Wiring in the bath

Full bath water system is impossible without a reliable supply pump providing the required water pressure in the water. In addition: lighting, electrical appliances used in the bath, water heaters, etc., also need to be connected to the mains.

And, unlike conventional home, bath / sauna - a place with high humidity and temperature, and it is means that the electrical imposed special requirements to ensure its safe operation.

T0lyanych (Member FORUMHOUSE):

Bath - a wet room, so the wiring laying in the bath is done in accordance with the SAE requirements for saunas, bathrooms and showers.

Hence: in the steam room and washroom facilities should not be any electrical appliances such as washing machines, receptacles, distribution boxes and switches. This equipment is placed in the room to rest, but to each lamp (in a splash-proof enclosure) in the steam room and there is a separate wire pomyvochnaya. If heating is used an electric heater, then connect it using a one-piece cable from the electrical panel located in the lounge or waiting room.

According to SEP, point 7.1.40. In saunas for zones 3 and 4 in accordance with GOST R 50571.12-96 "Electrical installations of buildings. Part 7. Requirements for special installations. Section 703. In areas containing sauna heaters ", to be used with electric allowable temperature of 170 ° C the insulation.

Ceiling lamps / lights select special - sealed and designed for operation in a wet basement. The seal between the base and canopy must be made of heat-resistant silicone, instead of rubber, which when exposed to high temperature may be scattered.

Protection classification IP54. In the rest room set switchboard, all switches, sockets and pumping stations. Besides preventing electric shock, it helps to avoid premature failure of equipment due to corrosion caused by moisture in the washroom facilities.

T0lyanych (Member FORUMHOUSE):

Do not forget about the device in the bath separate ground, even if the main ground installed in the house.

This - the basics of electrical installation in the bath. We turn to practice. Experience shows that many of the questions is the choice of electric cables for the bath, the method of its posting, as well as safe options lighting washroom facilities and a steam room.

Sergey21083sh (Member FORUMHOUSE):

Tip If you select the type of cable VVG, VVGng VVGngLS first buy a small piece. Cut into the cord with a knife and see if he wakes talc. If so, these are signs of compliance with GOST.

Generally, the selection of the correct cable for use in the bath often leads to many disputes. The first raises the question of the durability of the cable during operation in a humid room. Therefore, users are advised not to save and buy a quality cable which can withstand the high temperatures characteristic of the baths / saunas.

It - various heat resistant cables marked - RKGM, PVKV, PRKS, ADCP, etc. The most popular flame retardant wire RKGM, With a shell of silicone rubber and operating temperature from -60 ° C to +180 ° C.

Garry1 (Member FORUMHOUSE):

Simple NG... - can not be used in the LS, as the bath they do not maintain long-term temperature loads and temperature steam. At best - they zadubeyut, and in the worst case - can collapse.

When installing the cable, you can spend it "on the street." That is, if the room is to sheathe the outside, are conducting wire on the outer wall and plants it in the bath, where we assumed sockets, switches, lamps, etc. Cables in metal hose, metal hose in shield We are earthed. Accordingly, in the distribution boxes coming from the shield metal hose and the exhaust must be electrically connected.

Sergey21083sh (Member FORUMHOUSE):

If the wiring is done with a grounding wire in a cabinet set the RCD, but rather Emergency circuit breakers up to 30 mA. Do not forget to periodically (1-2 times per year) stretching contacts in receptacles, fixtures, panel, since over time they may become loose.

Passage wooden structures at the input to the bath (a copper wire in the corrugated pipe) make through a thick-walled metal pipe.

As for the lighting in the steam room, the most simple and exhaust option - to get through the transformer from the usual network 220V - 12V and connect the 12 volt incandescent bulbs, as energy-saving and LED lamps are afraid of overheating, typical for this premises.

Senseye (Member FORUMHOUSE):

I put in the steam room 12 volt lamp at 40 watts, and laid pomyvochnaya LED tape of 3 meters length. All this I have brought to the veranda attached to his bath, and connected to a conventional power supply unit from the computer to 350 watts. The lounge has mounted luminaire (IP54), the lamp 220 volt 60-watt switch is located on the veranda (there is dry). The cables are laid in a box.

Another is the safest option - make the lighting steam through the wall, through the glass block. This gives a soft diffused light and reduce the labor costs associated with the installation of a standard indoor lighting.
