Dear guests, the article does not carry any advertising meaning, but describes the possibility of implementing water extraction on the street at subzero temperatures.
To date, all home owners, as the winter period approaches, annually cut off the water supply system intended for street needs.
But there is a ready-made solution on the market that allows you not to turn off the water for the winter. This shut-off valve is designed for outdoor water intake all year round, without requiring additional shut-off elements inside the room.
Since the valve device provides for an elongated branch pipe, the obturator blocking the lumen of the pipeline is located in a heated room, and the valve regulating the flow is from the street side - and this is what distinguishes the product from ordinary cranes.
With such a solution, there is no danger of "freezing" water and the formation of ice plugs.
The length of the pipe for installation inside the wall varies from 15 to 60 cm. depending on the manufacturer. The cost of similar products begins in January 2020. - from 1900 rubles, but with an increase in the length of the branch pipe - the price increases.
There are both Russian manufacturers of Unipump and foreign ones on the market (Woodford, Merrill, Oras, etc.)
Installation is carried out by drilling a hole in the wall of the required diameter with a slope towards the valve so that the remaining water after interruption of the supply - drained from the shut-off element through the spout, so there is no liquid in the body and this valve is not subject to "freezing".
Characteristics:
Inlet thread diameter - ½ inch
Spout diameter - ¾ inch (male thread)
¾ inch makes it possible to connect garden hoses using quick-release couplings without any adapters.
In my opinion, this is a very practical solution for comfort: rinse your hands after working on the local area or wash the car!
