The emergence of flexible hoses on the market of sanitary products facilitated the liner of water to a tank toilet. Good plasticity of the element made this simple procedure, but after some period of flexible hoses necessarily burst. How to prevent a flood, and why there is a hose rupture?
Reasons for emergency
Flexible connection consists of a hose braid and fasteners. The causes of water cataclysm can equally be:
- hose material;
- a metal braid;
- error made when choosing a liner;
- fixing elements;
- Water supply to the wrong tank.
Each factor deserves special attention.
hose material. If the quality eyeliner manufacturers use non-toxic elastic vulcanized rubber, the manufacturers of cheap products used brittle rubber with a pungent odor. Accordingly, the service life of a minimum of hoses.
Metal braid. The shortest period of operation at podvodok reinforced with galvanized wire, because it quickly rust. Stay a little longer in line with the aluminum braided hoses, but they are constantly weakens the process of oxidation. More than 8 years are products with a stainless steel braid, more than 15 years of reinforced nylon. Hose inevitably will leak if the life of the product is exceeded.
Error on selection. Each braid material designed to withstand a certain working pressure in the system. Galvanized braid withstand 3 atm., 5 atm aluminum. Stainless steel 10 atm., Nylon reinforcement 20 atm. When the liner is chosen without regard to the operating pressure, then under load hose quick bursts.
Fasteners. Connections are made of aluminum, brass and nickel-plated brass. If the hardware of the last two materials is long, made of aluminum quickly fails. Even worse are the elements of silumin, and hence leakage guaranteed.
Incorrect eyeliner. When connecting the flexible hose laid freely positioned, and looped, if necessary with a maximum diameter of the ring. Installing hose tightness reduces the reliability of the connection, and the liner bending, twisting while tightening the nut causes damage to rubber hose and braid.
What to do to not burst hose
The first purchase eyeliner is from a reputable manufacturer. Before you buy to find out the performance of the composition of the product, check the rubber elasticity, the quality of crimp fittings, make sure there are no sharp hose at the rubber smell.
In summing up the water to a tank to comply with rules of installation and periodically thereafter to check the status of installed hose. Brown spots on the braided wire protruding hairs portend future troubles.
Eyeliner will not burst, indemnify, and do not have to repair, and plums will always work perfectly, if the right to choose and replace the hose at the time.
