Ngithola ukuthi amashawa nama-tub aphumula kakhulu uma amanzi egcinwa ekushiseni okufanele, okuyilokho okwenziwa lapho kufakwa i-valve yokuxuba, okubalulekile ekufakweni okusha. Enye into engingayincoma ukufaka noma yiluphi uhlobo lweyunithi ye-vent duct yokuxuba (njengeyami) ama-valve alwa nokushisa; lawa azokuvikela ekushiseni kwamanzi ashisayo axutshwa namanzi abandayo aphola ngokushesha kakhulu!

Nazi izinyathelo zokufaka ivalvu yokuxuba ku-water heater. Khumbula, uma ungakhululekile noma ungaqiniseki nganoma iyiphi yalezi zinyathelo, kungcono ukuxhumana nochwepheshe.

Udinga ivalvu yokuxuba? Dlulisa amehlo kuhlu lwethu lwamavalvu okuxuba aku-inthanethi lapha.

Lungiselela
Qiniseka ukuthi inkinobho yokulawula isifudumezi samanzi ijikelwe endaweni ethi “lead”. Vala ivalvu yokuvala entanjeni yamanzi abandayo exhunywe phezulu kwethangi. Okulandelayo, vula amanzi ashisayo nabandayoompompiendlini ukuze kuvunyelwe amanzi angaphezulu emapayipini ukuthi aphume. Manje shiya isifudumezi amahora ambalwa ukuze ithangi kanye nezindawo zokungenisa umoya ziphole. Uzokwazi ukuthi sesilungile uma sizizwa sipholile uma usithinta.

Ukuze ususe ipayipi lomoya wokushisa phezulu kwe-heater, qala ngokuphakamisa i-flange engezansi. Bese uyisunduza kanye nengxenye engezansi emuva kuwe ukuze uyinqamule.

Usebenzisa isikrufu esilungisekayo, ungakhulula i-fitting engxenyeni engenhla yepayipi lamanzi abandayo. Hlukanisa izesekeli komunye nomunye bese uzihlukanisa (ngezindlela eziphambene) ngaphambi kokuphendulela ukuhlangana kwazo kokuqala phansi komunye nomunye – lokhu kuzodala isikhala esanele sokufaka iminwe yakho ngokuphephile phakathi kwezintambo ngaphandle kokulwa.

uxhumano lwamanzi abandayo
Songa itheyiphu ye-vinyl plumber uzungeze imicu engaphansi kwevalvu yokuvala, lapho uhlukanise khona umugqa ogoqekayo.

Faka izikulufo ezihlanganisiwe zesilisa nesifazane ezihlanganisiwe nge-galvanized bese usebenzisa i-screwdriver ukuze uyixhume endaweni yayo.
Faka uhlangothi olulodwa lwesikrufu sepayipi esilungisekayo epayipini lamanzi abandayo elinamathiselwe phezu kwalolu xhumano olusha; futhi, hlola kabili izingxenye ezikhululekile, lokhu kuzosiza ukuvimbela amaphutha okuxhuma esikhathini esizayo ngenxa yezinye izindawo kula mapayipi aseduze noma ukuqhekeka futhi kubangele ukuvuza!

Qinisa zonke izinto zokubopha ngesandla ukuze ziqine futhi kungabikho ukuvuza kunoma iyiphi indlela lapho uphendula zombili izibambo kwesobunxele nakwesokudla (ngokwewashi).

Udinga ukubamba ivalvu yokuxuba, ifindo libheke phezulu bese ulungisa i-tee yamanzi abandayo ekugcineni kwevalvu yokuvala. Susa isivalo esiluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka lapho sixhuma khona nepayipi ngaphambi kokusonga itheyiphu ezungeze imicu. Ubambe ivalvu ngesandla esisodwa, faka i-inlet engxenyeni yesilisa yesixhumi. Sebenzisa isikrufu esilungisekayo ukuqinisa ivalvu yokuxuba kabili ngokwewashi.

Songa itheyiphu ye-vinyl uzungeze izintambo ezingaphansi kwe-tee yamanzi abandayo bese uyisonga ngesandla. Bamba i-valve yokuxuba ngengalo eyodwa ngenkathi uqinisa ukulingana kwayo nge-wrench elungisekayo.

uxhumano lwamanzi ashisayo
Sebenzisa isikrufu esilungisekayo ukuze ukhulule futhi ususe i-fitting engxenyeni engenhla yepayipi lamanzi ashisayo kusuka emgqeni oholela ekhaya lakho. Ngemva kwalesi sinyathelo, yisuse eceleni ukuze uqhubeke.

Songa itheyiphu ye-vinyl uzungeze imicu yepayipi lamanzi ashisayo bese unamathisela ipayipi lesifudumezi samanzi kuyo. Ngaphandle kwalokho, songa isiphetho nge-wrench yepayipi njengesipele.

Ukuze le nqubo ibe lula, susa isivalo esibomvu phansi kokuxuba.ivalvu.

Okulandelayo, songa itheyiphu ye-vinyl uzungeze imicu bese usebenzisa isikrufu esilungisekayo ukuze unamathisele intambo egobile engu-12″ phansi.

Donsa isivalo sepulasitiki esibomvu engxenyeni engezansi ye-hot water tee ku-valve. Songa i-vinyl tape nxazonke zezintambo. Sebenzisa isikrufu esilungisekayo ukuze unamathisele ingxenye engenhla yepayipi eliguquguqukayo lokuqala elalihlukaniswe nepayipi lamanzi ashisayo ku-hot water tee.

Vula kancane ivalvu yokuvala entanjeni yamanzi abandayo. Manje hlola zonke izixhumanisi ukuze ubone ukuthi azikho yini izimbobo futhi uqiniseke ukuthi azikho izimbobo. Uma kudingeka, qinisa izixhumanisi ukuze uyeke ukuvuza.

Lungisa ipayipi lokukhipha umoya endaweni yalo. Setha isilawuli sesifudumezi samanzi sibe semazingeni okushisa aphakathi bese uvumela amanzi asethangini ashise cishe ihora. Sicela ubuyekeze imiyalelo yokufaka ngaphambi kokulungisa izinga lokushisa levalvu yokuxuba kanye nesifudumezi samanzi.

jabulela amanzi afudumele
Isifinyezo esifushane sezinyathelo zokufaka i-mixer ku-water heater: Okokuqala, cisha ugesi ku-water heater. Okulandelayo, susa konke ukufudumala okuzungeze i-valve endala bese uyikhulula phezulu kwethangi. Uma lokhu sekuqediwe, slayida i-stem assembly endala bese uyilahla kahle noma uyiphinde uyisebenzise uma kudingeka. Gcina indawo yakho yokusebenza ihlelekile futhi ugweme izingxenye ezilahlekile!

Manje faka iziqu ezintsha, uzibeke emigodini engezansi kwethangi ngokulandelana okufanele ukuze zime ziqonde phezulu (isiqu A phezulu). Sebenzisa isikrufu esilungisekayo ukuze uzikrufule endaweni yazo ngeteyipu ye-teflon kuze kube yilapho ziqine ngokwanele ukuthi ingxenye ngayinye ingabi ngaphezu kwe-1/4 intshi uma icindezelwa ndawonye. Ekugcineni, zikrufule kahle zonke izivalo ezintathu bese ujabulela amanzi afudumele!
