What should I do if the hot water pipe interface leaks?

The leakage point should be found at the hot water pipe interface before maintenance.

The most direct and simple way to solve the water leakage problem is to find the water leakage point first, close the main water valve directly, cut off the leaking water pipe and reinstall it. This method is actually more suitable for the problem of water leakage outside the wall. If the water leakage problem of water pipes is not particularly serious, the operating pressure should not exceed 3-4 kg, especially some plastic water pipes, which are more suitable for gluing water. After wiping the pipeline clean, coating PVC glue on the interface can effectively solve the trouble of water leakage.

Fusion welding can also be used, especially those materials with thick water pipes, which are directly welded outside to block the gap, but this method is not suitable for high-pressure pipes. If there is water leakage at the metal pipe joint, directly wind the raw material belt to connect it with the quick connector.

Matters needing attention in water pipe maintenance

1, check the water pipe condition regularly.

Regular inspection of water pipes is an important measure to avoid problems with water pipes. You can check the water pipes regularly for leaks, rust, etc. , and pay attention to whether there is odor or blockage. If problems are found, repair measures can be taken in time to avoid further expansion of the problem.

2. Pay attention to the cleanliness of the sewer.

Drain pipes are one of the most easily blocked places. After long-term use, dirt, hair and other debris will accumulate in the drain, resulting in poor drainage. It is recommended to clean the sewer once every once in a while, and you can use professional cleaners or self-made environmentally friendly cleaners for treatment.

3. Prevent water pipes from freezing and cracking.

Frost cracking of water pipes is a common problem in winter, which brings great trouble to family life. In order to prevent water pipes from freezing and cracking, the insulation materials around the water pipes can be inspected and maintained before the arrival of cold weather to ensure that the water pipes will not be affected by low temperature. In addition, the faucet can be kept slightly open at night to prevent water from accumulating in the water pipe.
