For most families, renovation is undoubtedly one of the top priorities in the home.
In the long process of renovation, water and electricity renovation is a crucial part, because its details are often directly related to the safety and comfort of living.
Through the experience of renovating three houses, I have summed up eight key details in the process of water and electricity renovation.
These experiences are all from the actual experience, I hope to be helpful to friends who are about to decorate.
1. Do not put strong and weak currents in the same slot
There are strong and weak wires in the home, and they should be routed in separate slots, not sharing a single trunking.
Because there will be electromagnetic interference between strong and weak currents, if the same trunking is shared, it will affect the transmission quality of weak current signals, and may even lead to potential safety hazards.
2. The intersection of strong and weak electricity is wrapped with tin foil
When a strong current line and a weak current line inevitably cross, in order to prevent electromagnetic interference, it is recommended to wrap it with tin foil or aluminum foil at the intersection point.
Doing so can effectively reduce electromagnetic interference and protect the integrity of weak electrical signals.
Although this step may seem simple, it can improve the stability of the circuit and ensure the normal operation of household appliances.
3. Choose PPR pipe, not PVC pipe
In the selection of water pipes, PPR pipes have become the first choice for many home decoration because of their good heat resistance, pressure resistance and environmental protection characteristics.
PVC pipes have been abandoned by many people due to their poor anti-aging performance and the shortcomings of harmful substances.
Therefore, when carrying out hydropower transformation, it is recommended to give preference to PPR pipes to ensure the safety and stability of waterways.
4. Choose BV wire, not BVR wire
BV wire has higher mechanical strength, better electrical conductivity, and lower resistivity than BVR wire.
Therefore, in the selection of wires, it is recommended to use BV wires to improve the safety and stability of the circuit.
5. The distance between hot and cold water pipes is 15 cm
It's like the two of us chatting, we have to keep a little distance, otherwise it's easy to quarrel if it's too close.
The same is true for water pipes, with hot and cold water pipes spaced at least 15 cm apart.
This distance can help to reduce heat transfer between water pipes, ensuring that hot water pipes do not affect the water temperature of cold water pipes when heated.
6. The threading area does not exceed 40% of the pipe diameter area
When the wire is threaded, the total cross-sectional area of the wire in the pipe shall not exceed 40% of the cross-sectional area of the pipe diameter.
It is important to follow this rule to ensure the heat dissipation of the wires and the safe operation of the circuit.
7. The water pipe interface is connected with "double eyelids".
The way the water pipe connection is connected has a crucial impact on the tightness and service life of the water pipe.
The "double eyelid" connection is a more reliable way to connect the water pipe interface.
This connection is not only firmly connected, but also can effectively prevent water leakage at the connection of the water pipe, otherwise it will be troublesome in the future.
8. The load-bearing wall should be opened with a vertical groove
When opening a trunking on a load-bearing wall, the principle of opening a vertical groove should be followed.
This is because the load-bearing wall is an important part of the house structure, and the transverse groove will destroy the load-bearing structure of the wall and affect the safety of the house.
The vertical groove can retain the load-bearing capacity of the wall to the greatest extent and ensure the safety and stability of the renovated house.
As a hidden project in decoration, the quality of hydropower renovation is directly related to the safety and comfort of family life.
Through the 8 key details shared above, I hope you can pay more attention to the details in the decoration process to ensure the quality and safety of hydropower transformation.
