I work alone at my dacha. I managed to do a lot with my own hands, it's time for warm floors made of corrugated stainless steel. I put it in the sauna section so that I can arrive at the dacha in winter and earlier, to warm it up remotely. The bathhouse will be freezing.
My bay is two hundred meters long, its weight is about 50 kg, such a coil of "eternal pipe" is heavy, and even with a sore back.
The pipe itself is very convenient in laying, but when working alone, you have to run to the skein and unwind the turns, constantly dragging and lifting it. Moreover, it is very difficult without an assistant.
In the future, the same pipe will go all over the house. I decided to look at how much unwinding floor heating pipes cost, which make work easier, and this is what I saw:
The cheapest costs from 3,000 rubles, not sickly, right? And from that moment on, the brain began to generate ideas on how to make an unwinder with your own hands. The first thought is to make polypropylene, the easiest option, as it seemed to me. But in the end, an even easier option was found.
By the way, one of the options was to use a concrete mixer as an axle for a temporary unwinder, but the brain figured out a simpler option. In order to save your time, I uploaded a photo with comments to the gallery. Scroll friends:
Necessity for inventions is cunning, the saying exactly describes the situation. Pipes untwist ideally, in one plane. And there is no need to spend 3000 rubles or transfer polypropylene. With stainless pipeStahlmann and the prices for it can be found here.
How I pressed this pipe with a homemade device, I told HERE.
