Plumber's trick. When installing sewer pipes. I share my experience

  • Dec 16, 2020

I warn you right away that this method on a 110 mm sewer pipe should be used only if you have an assistant. The force to connect two pieces of pipe is large enough, the pipes are massive. One person holds, the second warms up and sticks in.

Easier show this method on pieces of 50 mm pipes. There, in this way, you can connect with the effort of one person. Like two fingers asphalt. Here it is necessary to grunt enough.

Why do this?

  1. Saving.
  2. Waste-free installation.
  3. Correction of errors in case of incorrect material calculation.

Socketless technology

In order to connect a piece of pipe without a socket with a sewer pipe and a piece with a diameter of 110 mm. it needs to be warmed up. It is advisable to use a burner with high heat dissipation. In this case, I use a weak gas burner, it does not heat well. Requires more warm-up time. You can also warm it up with a construction hairdryer. Do not overheat. In case of significant heating, the pipe will fold into an accordion when you try to put the required part into it

Following a step is a gradual formation, an increase in the joint with a circular motion of a fitting or a piece of pipe.

You can also use the means at hand to expand the place of the future socket, in a circular motion.

how just warmed up and expanded the future socket, we are trying to stick in the details of the sewer. If it does not enter, then you should not rush, we continue to gradually heat up and increase the diameter of the pipe.

If the process has begun and the pipe began to enter, then we apply maximum force and push it into the heated workpiece, so that the part goes at least 5-7 cm. If it goes deeper, then it's good.

In this case, the purge has not gone into the pipe sufficiently. It was necessary to shove it before the withdrawal. The longer the socket is, the more reliable the connection.

Reliable connection or not?

This method was used by our team during the overhaul of the communications of a residential building. Our master did not order the material for the installation of the sewerage correctly. A large number of pipe pieces remained. Which are hard to write off. Therefore, we had to save the ass of our master and make the installation using this technology.

For skeptics, I report: This connection is reliable, when the "socket" cools down, a tight, crimp connection occurs. Which is very difficult to separate. Moreover, we installed these pipe sections on risers, i.e. vertically. That completely ensures the tightness of the pipe.

I had to sweat a lot. I think the work of the plumber will not be in vain and they are worthy of your husky. From SW. Timofey Mikhailov.
