Winter is coming and the cold wind is searching. The weather plummeted this week, and it snowed in Beijing! I got up in the morning and found that the faucet in the yard was frozen! I didn't know there would be an east faucet in winter! What should we do? How to prevent the faucet from freezing?
By consulting a professional faucet manufacturer, Bian Xiao no longer has to worry about freezing. Come and learn about the outdoor faucet with me!
1, the antifreeze for indoor and outdoor water pipes, water meters and faucets can be wrapped with cotton, hemp fabric or straw rope, or with foam casing;
2. The temperature is about 0℃. Before stopping using water in winter night, turn on the tap gently to keep the water in the pipeline flowing, which can also prevent the water in the pipeline from freezing, prevent the water meter from freezing and affect the normal use of water.
3. After turning off the water valve at night or when not in use, turn on the faucet to drain the water in the pipeline, which can effectively prevent freezing;
4. For frozen faucets, water meters and water pipes, it is advisable to wrap the faucets with hot towels first, then pour warm water to thaw the faucets, then unscrew the faucets and slowly pour warm water along the faucets to thaw the water pipes. Never bake water pipes and water meters with fire.
5. Keep the water pipes and faucets exposed to the ground warm, for example, put a wooden bucket on the faucet, fill it with sawdust to expose the faucet, and add a wooden cover to prevent freezing; Covering exposed pipes with thermal insulation materials can prevent water pipes from being frozen. * * * Fortunately, a master valve was added at the starting point where the water pipe was exposed. Once the faucet is frozen, it can be turned off, or it can be turned off when going out for a long time to prevent the faucet from freezing and leaking. If the faucet is frozen and can't produce water, pour hot water into the faucet and other places to melt the ice inside.
These are the ways to protect outdoor faucets in winter. With this little trick, you don't have to worry about getting up without water in winter morning! I won't be late for work!
