The rapid approach of frosts means thorough preparation of housing for the heating season. In particular country houses, where the pipe is in danger when severe frosts, whereby water peremerznet and people stay out of water and heat. Some owners home country do not care about insulation of communication systems. This flippant attitude is fraught with breakdowns not only heating, but also of the home, which will dampen.

Specifics of water supply cottages and its insulation
The priority in this case is a channel protection from freezing of water. Rural water supply is different from the city, as the washing comes from wells. Of course, there are holiday homes and a centralized water supply system. Pipes extend partially above ground or be laid in the upper layers of soil. Outdoors can be extremely warm instillation at a sufficient depth to protect against frost, as a rule, is lower than the level of soil freezing. With this method of warming the earth warms communication. And in order to keep the heat for a long time, you need to perform wrap insulation.
Information! Before burying the channel, there is a place of its output above ground level, it is necessary to connect additional devices, such as pumps, instrumentation and so on.
The rest of the system is laid in the house. If housing is not to use in the winter, the water supply system will be at risk due to low the lowered temperature, as a rule, it is less 0ᵒS. In view of this, it is necessary to insulate the system.
Means, used for thermal insulation
At this point applies a wide range of materials for insulation. Old blankets, jackets and coats are gone into the background, giving way to a new generation of tools. What properties have new heaters:
- High level heat retention;
- reduced heat transfer;
- resistant to hostile conditions, chemical or biological effects;
- maintaining the high temperature, which allows not to conduct summer dismantling material;
- are easy to use;
- long service life;
- high water-repelling property.
Information! The final point is important, because when wet, the insulation will lose its important qualities and become useless.
It is recommended to select materials for thermal insulation in such a way that they meet the peculiarities of water supply. Mostly they have to protect the pipe located outdoors or in non-residential rooms. Variety of material:
- The casing of polystyrene - a popular means for heating, easy to operate, easy to install, has an additional layer on top. It can be installed more than once.
- STEKLONIT - reliable and proven on this material is widely used by manufacturers such as Knauf, Isover and Ursa. During the interaction you will not encounter difficulties. Density is small, for this reason it is used as a layer under the roofing felt or fiberglass.
- Warming basalt - means has an additional layer in the form of foil insulating, glassine or roofing material. Available in the form of cylinders, making it easy to install and remove. The most effective in terms of conservation of heat, but the price level is high enough.
- Painting insulation effect - applied in a single layer, approximately 2 cm, it will be very good to keep warm as the cover 5 cm thick polystyrene or glass wool. Looks like white paste, consists of water, a varnish, acrylic polymers and other excipients. It is resistant to large temperature variations and rust.
Winterizing the system with their own hands
In order to achieve greater effect, thermal paint should be applied in 2 layers, but in most cases, use only one. Means discharged in aerosol containers, is applied by spraying uniformly. Dries quickly, completely sealed. This insulation will not damage the rodents.
The foam will be easy to establish a person without experience in similar works:
- push both halves tightly around the pipe;
- elements should be placed so as to obtain the offset of 10-20 cm, to thereby obtain an integral coating without gaps;
- fix all the components necessary to tape.
Reference! Rotating the channel elements can acquire specialized fittings for connecting the individual parts of the pipeline.
Basalt mount even easier. The whole structure is notched from one side of the cylinder. diameter size is selected depending on the section pipes, which will be installed a heat insulator. To do this, you must place the material and secure around the seam.
Working with glass wool put unnecessary tight clothes, sturdy gloves and goggles - it is necessary security measures as a means of very crumble and eats into the skin. The entire wound channel layer is not less than 5 cm, bond wire, top cover with roofing felt or other oteplitelem. Make sure that there are no gaps in coverage. Learn more about these materials and their use can be found in the video.
Thermal insulation of water supply, lies in the soil
This situation should be very different work. Depending on the depth of the water system laid methods will vary. Consider the case of shallow insulation pipe runs:
- High pressure level - is achieved by setting the receiver, and wherein there is pressure pumped. This method is good in the event that pumps up water submersible pump. After installation, it is set in the check valve.
- Airbag - method of smaller premises in a large tube, basalt lining or polystyrene. This creates a layer of air, which serve as protection from frosts, it maintained the required temperature.
- Warming wire - this means that together with the pipe is laid on cable 10-20 watts. In the cold season, it is connected to the network and it heats the water network by generating warm energy. Wrap wire through the tube, to seal in such a situation will metallized tape. Top wraps oteplitelnym material. This method allows the recess water 0.5 meters.
Oteplitelnye work - a necessary and important part of the preparation for the winter.
Plan your actions in advance, elaborate stages.
Pipes in the room trim and with the advent of autumn, wrapping communications carried out on the street before, to hold the installation and check the serviceability. Organize heating in the summer, to allow time to correct deficiencies, if any will be admitted. Prefer only quality and tested materials. Carefully read the instructions.
