Why put a flexible liner made of PVC instead of stainless steel
Flow! But where? A flexible hose made of stainless steel, Though an old crane and oblezshy but keeps pipes also normal, but the water still dripping. A closer look better and had to admit that the blame for all the same flexible connection, although it changed only about 3 years ago, and for her this is not a period when the declared 15-20 years of trouble-free service.
Corrugation cracked it in the place of bending. Not cracked the hose that in the picture 1, and exactly the same in the neighboring sanblok, shot just did not - replaced quickly. There, the bending angle was more, as in the photo 2, which shows the new hose is already in place corrugated.
What happened?
Corrugated stainless steel set as a super-safe replacement of reinforced hoses, but, as can be seen, and it worked no better. No, she eyeliner seems in no blame, simply install it in a location and position that long, she could not stand.
Yes, and stainless flexible liner has its limitations. One of the no - sensitivity to excessively bend the installation site . Then either take risks or change the position of valves and remove the sharp bends.
And still the question remains: as bending movements performed during the installation plumber? For stainless steel it is important, as corrugated and there is limited. There are even expensive stainless liner with specific recommendations for limiting the amount of bending without damage to the product, do not remember exactly how many, but not many.
In this case, I came to the rescue, I would say, better and more reliable data for the variant conditions - PVC hoses. She is also a condensation on the currently not collected, and if there is, it will not damage the hose, as well as stainless steel though.
This angle of rotation, as in the photo 2, she stands quietly thanks to the flexibility. Reinforced metal hose here too long stood.
Braid made of PVC over the rubber hose that picture 2, Arranged in the same way as in similar metallic hoses. It is hoped that PVC better work than metal.
