How to insulate a pipeline or sewer: a proven way
As is known, in order to live comfortably in the house need to address four critical issues.
- How to equip the house with water?
- How to heat the house in winter?
- to provide electricity
- Provide drainage ...
That's the first and last question is the question in the winter is particularly acute. Sometimes, in the middle band are issued so harsh winters, the soil freezes to 1.5-1.6 meters (just under the old Soviet standards).
In such peak frosts may peremorznut water pipes and sewer.
This is especially dangerous for those who bought the uneven parts: they buried pipe is not always at the same depth.
How to insulate pipes?
I advise everyone to three-stage insulation:
-
the first stage.
Wrapped with a metallic pipe with tape on its entire length, from the well to the house or from the house to the septic tank.
Who does not know is how the metalized tape:
-
a second step.
Impose on the pipe heating cable. If the pipe diameter of less than 50 mm, the cable may be attached to its bottom. If the pipe is thicker than 50 mm - pipe wrap "spirals" - the more, the better.
By the way, I advise you to fix the cable using plastic ties - they are reliable and not very expensive.
-
a third step.
Over the cable fasten metalized tape and pack the pipe's in a foam tube:
Finish: in this way the pipe can be buried in the ground. Some even leave it outside on the ground, and it did not peremerzaet winter (provided that the heating cable is plugged in).
