In some cases, you can put the plastic ring well?
Over the years, replaced by a reinforced concrete manhole rings are gradually plastic counterparts. They are successfully replacing their "concrete Ancestors" at the expense of cheap, light weight and ease of installation, but plastic wells are not universalAnd in this article we'll show you how well the material selected for a particular purpose.
The main advantages of plastic manholes are as follows:
- Plastic does not rust;
- Plastic is not afraid of vibration, frost heave and temperature changes;
- Wells of plastic have a rigid structure
- Easy to seal a place input tubing
- Finally, install these wells is very easy.
However, what we call the wells, are not made of concrete, "plastic" - a small false: in fact, there are 4 basic material of which make such wells. Here they are:
- PVC or polyvinylchloride;
- PET or polyethylene;
- polypropylene;
- PPS or polymer-sand mixture.
What material to choose well?
1. If your well is a source of drinking water, and the soil around it has a problem, it is better to buy PET (plastic) ring. They are economical and ideal for its functional characteristics. If the soil is strongly abyss in the spring, it is better to purchase Polymer well.
2. Rings made of PVC (polyvinyl chloride) - a good solution for the site, which is often subjected to mechanical stress (over the well - parking, where the machine is).
This is the most expensive type of plastic rings, but only PVC-rings withstand such a load.
3. If you want to have a septic tank, your choice - inexpensive rings made of polyethylene or polypropylene. Gas accumulation in the septic tank will not affect this inert polymer and simultaneously cheap.
