In daily life, water pipe burst is a headache. If the main water pipe bursts, a large area of water may be cut off, and the water pipe in the home may burst. The water in the home will be full of water, and the floor, furniture and electrical appliances will be damaged. Even the neighbors downstairs caused contradictions among the neighbors. Summer is the peak season of blasting and an important period to prevent tube blasting. Knowing the cause of tube explosion and corresponding measures can prevent explosion accidents.
Causes of tube burst in summer
In summer, users' water consumption will be higher than usual. In order to keep the water supply pressure constant, the water supply company will continue to pressurize. As a result, some inferior and aging pipes burst because they could not bear the pressure. In addition, due to the rise of the ambient temperature, the position of the pipe joint may leak due to the expansion and contraction of the pipe itself.
How to give first aid in case of tube explosion
1 when the water pipe bursts, whether dripping or spitting, the valve should be closed in time to cut off the water flow, and then contact the water supply company, property management or professional water and electricity master for inspection and maintenance
2 if the water flow cannot be cut off or the maintenance personnel cannot repair it in a short time, if there is a special waterproof tape at home, the cracked position of the water pipe can be temporarily tied up to reduce the degree of water pipe breakage. water leakage.
3 if there is water leakage at the water pipe joint, the joint shall be cut off and re connected with the corresponding pipe fittings. After professional pressure test, it can be used normally.
4 if the tube explosion is caused by the aging of the tube itself, it is necessary to find maintenance personnel to check, repair or even replace the tube.
How to prevent tube explosion
1) Avoid pipe exposure
Water pipes installed outdoors are often exposed to direct sunlight, which may cause discoloration, deformation, aging and other problems.
In this regard, for long-term contact with water pipes, we can protect them by wrapping a protective layer.
2) Pay attention to daily maintenance
In daily life, the pipeline shall be repaired irregularly to see if there are deformation and leakage points.
In addition, by closing all water appliance valves in the room and observing whether there is abnormal rotation of the domestic water meter, it can be judged whether there is water seepage point in the pipeline.
3) Prevent pipe loosening
For the leakage and burst of water pipes, the loosening of pipes is also the culprit.
If the pipe is loose, fix it with pipe clamp in time; When installing the pipe clamp, make sure it is not loose in daily use.
4) Use high-quality pipes
Only the pipes produced and tested with high-quality raw materials can avoid tube explosion.
When selecting water pipes, attention should be paid to its pressure grade, and high-quality pipes that can withstand a certain pressure and have quality commitments should be selected.
