Housing repair reached and bathrooms (such as iron pipes is changed to plastic)

Good day, dear readers. I'll tell you how to change the cast iron sewer pipes with plastic. Housing repairs and got to the bathroom. Rusty, sometimes leaking pipes long demanded the replacement of the modern plastic counterpart.

Even before the execution of all works, the replacement must be agreed with the tenants. Required to cut off the water around the riser. It is quite difficult if you do multi-storey building, the tenants of coins was not at home. I advise you to negotiate these issues somewhere in the week before the replacement pipe.

Water is blocked on the riser replacement begins. If you have a plumbing skills, you can try to do it yourself, but I decided not to risk it, and called the brigade plumbers. The work begins with the replacement of the riser. Below and above you should always leave at 15-20 centimeters of cast iron pipe. It will be worn on the plastic. The old pipe is removed from the pipe by means of grinders. I recommend to use a respirator, as in a confined space metal dust can get into the respiratory tract. After the old pipe is cut, in its place is put a new one. Should begin with the upper edge, the tube getting on to the upper edge of the stop, then gently lowered onto the lower section. Necessarily considered diameter pipes. Reliability for joint space can lubricate the sealant.

After replacing the main pipe, the pipe changes of cold and hot water. This procedure is the same as replacing the sewer riser pipe only smaller. Slice the old pipe should be 5-7 centimeters. Let us turn to dostoinstvm and disadvantages of plastic sewer.

Advantages:

• No corrosion processes

• Easy to install. The installation does not need welding

• Low cost compared to stainless steel

Disadvantages:

• Completion of sewage may be noise disturbance. Plastic considerably thinner than cast iron, and has less noise isolation. This is achieved by installing a so-called closed well when the tube is placed in a closed space.

After completion of the work is included water, there is a leak testing of joints. Everyone who makes the repairs, I wish you good luck!
