Ambulance for flow radiator

This article will be useful not only for those, who are faced with the question of how to eliminate the flow radiator. As the situation of life, and sanitary equipment tends to wear out (especially in older homes), know what a strategy for action in case of a leak detection is necessary for each. flows battery, what to do? - the answer to this question will be an exhaustive.

It is important to understand, that the leaks are different in complexity and localization, and in the case of the hot flood should immediately call the emergency services, call to the control room. Before proceeding to the liquidation of the accident, you need to know about safety measures.

Health is more important than property

When the battery runs what to do is important to know exactly as much, how much - what not to do!

• If the hot water gushing in all directions - forget about the property in the first place to take safety measures, in order to protect yourself and loved ones from thermal burns. Repairs, things, Technology is not the most important thing.
• Throw a blanket on the flow, preferably padded. Or something, he can some time to absorb water and prevent it from splashing.
• Do not get involved in safety net in the form of buckets, basins and rags - this is a temporary measure may cease to be effective at any time, Especially when you start flooding disaster. The amount of water in the iron battery sufficiently large.
• Do not rely on the myth, that can flow withdrew, prikipet and overgrown rust.
• Detected at bedtime or before work flow into the radiator, even if it is minimal, In no case can not be ignored. A simple man in the street is hardly capable to face to assess the extent of the accident and failure mechanism: flow can not expand weeks, and may turn into a flood a couple of hours
• Try to block coolant flow into the battery. Valve for this procedure is usually in the basement of the house.
• In case of accidental flooding, After the overlap of water in the riser can not think of anything better, except to drain from the battery. In this case, the elimination of breakage will be fast and safe.

  

Types and causes of leaks

Usually there is a leak in the offseason, when the heating is switched off, cooling occurs as the metal is narrowed and locations of threaded joints begins to dig water.

If the heating radiator flows, it is necessary to determine the cause and location of damage. Each sanitary point includes radiators adjacent the pipeline and. The compounds of these elements may be broken due to the following factors:

• Long life, as a cause of wear;
• Poor installation of the heating system;
• mechanical effects, brute force;
• corrode metal.

Depending on, between some elements emerged coolant leak, are the following types of damage:

• Violations of the seal between the pipe riser and branch pipes battery;
• Partial destruction of the main pipes, that connect the radiator and riser;
• Leakage in the vicinity of the intersectional connections;
• Fistula or a crack on one of the radiator sections.

For each of these cases, there is a way to eliminate the accident. If dripping battery, than to cover not in a hurry to learn. maybe, smear does not need to be.

Dripping between the nozzle and the main pipe

Flow at the junction is often the result of improper installation, or home situation, when the batteries are used as a support for heavy objects or occupants. To make a repair needed:

• Automotive clamp or wire;
• A piece of thin and flexible rubber.

Procedure:

• Cut strips of rubber 5h35 cm. or use a rubber bandage from the pharmacy;
• Wrap strip damaged area;
• Secure rubber wire or cable clamp,.

In this situation, the yoke will be more suitable for this, since it is inexpensive, and fixes the damaged joint is securely, evenly, without the risk of the constriction.

Skips the main pipe

There are always two pipes. One for the supply of coolant to the radiator, and a second outlet for the cooled water. They are made of steel and have a tendency to corrode and wear out the inside over time for two reasons::

• Filling the water in the off-season;
• Impurities in water, coming through the heating duct.

Most often, the question of, what to do if the heating radiator flows arises in the midst of the heating season. In the event of an accident on a straight section of pipe used cement-cast. For its preparation is required:

• non-sterile bandage;
• Cement;
• alabaster;
• A mixing mixture.

Important! Alabaster is required then, when the water is not possible to block. He applied the first layer, as the cement dries faster and adds reliability bandage.

Procedure:

• Knead cement with water to a consistency of liquid cream;
• Prepare long strips 25-30 cm;
• Soak the bandage strips in the mixture;
• Wrap them damaged area layer by layer;
• Carry out actions to obtain a thick bandage.

If a stream of water gushing fountain

If a fistula and a jet of water flows, you can score before joining fitters wooden wedge. Wood soak and well keep water.

Flowing Screwed

When, when a leak in the radiator formed in the thread area is again used bandage, but this time, hydrochloric:

• wet bandage;
• Roll strip salt;
• wind damage;
• Apply the cement bandage.

Important! Sol capable coked place, leak.

Iron flows between the radiator sections

If between the sections drips that do not understand radiator difficult. The junction is represented by a small straight section, temporary repair which can be easily. Necessary materials:

• Car with a respective clamp screw tightening direction;
• Laying of a flexible rubber;
• Epoxy adhesive;
• piece of cloth.

Procedure:

• Soak fabric glue;
• Wrap the perimeter of the joint;
• Secure the rubber gasket and put the clamp.

It flows from the radiator walls

A reasonable question when the battery runs - than to cover? If the accident occurred in the wall of one of the sections, it will have to cover the cold welding. More efficient way yet. Bulb "cold welding" should be tightly pressed to place and keep the flow in this position 3-5 minutes. After half an hour, the mixture is fully cured, and a day later the battery is ready to fulfill its conclusion as funktsiy.V, it is important to note the following. All above mentioned measures - actions "ambulance". If the heating system failed once - it means, it's time to preparing for major overhaul. Call of the master will be the best prevention of serious problems
