Dryer polypropylene tubes. Master OK
And to me, this simple-minded like the idea! I do not know about you, dear visitors and subscribers, but even six months after the installation of my opinion on a makeshift towel warmers from the water pipes PP has not changed.
Setting this towel warmer compelled, as the customer did not want to dismantle the wall of plastic and change the old metal pipes. It was necessary to act upon the non-standard interaxial distance between the upper and lower pipe equal to 67 cm. Under such pipework find factory towel rail is unrealistic, and that had to kink.
On a note. The thermal conductivity of PP is slightly worse than that of the metal, but do not consider it a big challenge, especially if there is a water heater in the bathroom. It was he who creates the background temperature and not heated towel rail. And if there is a boiler, cold will not be as bath slowly warmed up and establish a stable comfort temperature.
that was used
In a set of PP fittings listed:
- Pipe 3/4 - 3 m;
- angle 90 c. 3/4 - 6 pcs .;
- coupling with an external thread (MPH) 3 / 4- 2 units;
- valve with internal thread and American (BB) 3/4 - 3 pieces.
- adapter (HV) 1 / 2-3 / 4 - 2 units .;
- clamp with fastening 3/4 - 3 pieces.
- little tow.
Important. To guarantee the stability and security of the system used for central heating pipe system, valued at $ 2 per meter. Inside it is noticeable on the cut aluminum layer.
unplanned complexity
The hardest part was to unscrew the old dryer and keep the thread on the tube. Distance from the metal pipe to a minimum wall panel, so work tool inconvenient. Later it prevented cranking barrels-adapter with 1/2 to 3/4. It would be easier not to use them and put towel rail from 20th tube, but the owner decided otherwise.
After installation of adapters had to suffer with cranes since they interfere with the normal course of the axlebox threadably crane and rested on the wall. The picture shows that the gap from the wall of the pipe to nothing at all. Butterfly with a crane had to remove that bit simplify the task.
Lower the pipe as close to the wall, we had to enclose the spacer. This is exactly what is shown below.
Special clamps for such purposes have not found, so put that it was closer to the subject.
Pike products took about 1 hour, and the assembly and installation of taps another hour and a half.
As a result, the client was pleased, though, to keep the normal position towel warmer, a spacer piece of pipe had to leave. Fixing hold fine, so nothing prevents drying of things and cherishes fine
