Plastic pipes froze? Fix this mess!

Residents of private houses in severe cold faced with such a problem, as the frozen plastic pipes. This is quite dangerous because when defrosting pipe may break, which can pull a backfire. Normally the defrost procedure is performed via pipes special professional apparatus. But it is not very suitable for plastic pipes. How to solve this problem? You may refuse the use of plastic pipes and pipe buy PPU insulated, but today we will look at one of the following defrost plastic pipes.

This can be done with the help of a homemade boiler.

For its production will require:

the wire,

electrical plug,

matches,

conventional blades,

thread.

So, taken 3 meters of 2 core wire. At one end of the upper plastic insulation removed; then trimmed one of the wires. He wound up at the top of the insulation. The coils, in an amount of 4-5 items should be placed very close to each other. At the opposite end of the wire is installed the plug.

Then, the remaining wire is cleaned. By coils wound on the ground wire back down a few millimeters, and repeat the previous step. Keep in mind that if you connect the two wires, it will lead to a short circuit.

To check the efficiency of the boiler is necessary to use an ordinary jar filled with water. If it bubbles start to appear, it means that everything is fine!

Then proceed to the immediate unfreezing pipes. To do this, release one of its sides. If the pipe is fixed on the counter, then disconnect it. One end of the wire is moving to a place frozen, and the power plug is plugged in. When heated, the ice begins to melt gradually.

Among the undoubted advantages are the following:

- cold wire

- lack of effect melting of the plastic pipe,

- heats only the ice, turning into liquid.

As you increase the defrosting area need to push deeper into the boiler. Naturally, during assembly of the instrument should take into account the length of the tube, in order to improve the quality defrosting pipes of plastic.
