He recently boasted to his brother that he had received an unusual device for installation on a water pipe. "Interesting. Install it, I'll come and have a look, check out the device. " A relative said with a touch of irony in his voice.
There is little left to install the "Cinderella", according to the instructions.
As you can see in the photo above, I need to embed two solenoid valves (yellow) on the existing pipeline. In my case, hot and cold water. The rest of the details, such as the control unit and sensors in the installation will not be difficult.
In order to make the installation, I need to install valves on a free section of the pipe.
Important! The solenoid valve must be installed after the inlet valve and the coarse filter.
For this installation, I purchased a coupling with an external thread, a coarse brass filter.
I cut out a section of the pipeline along with old filters and check valves.
Coarse filter and male coupling mounted in front of the solenoid valves
The check valve with union nut is wound down after the solenoid valves.
After locksmith work, we perform welding, solder the blanks to the input cranes.
The result is such a system, on pipes for hot and cold water supply.
Important! The solenoid valve must be installed vertically! Removable cover up.
In the end, this is what we got: On a pipe of hot and cold water.
Then it remains to connect the wires to the "brain" of the system.
It is impossible to mix up the wire connections. Two wires go to the valve. Two wires for a leakage sensor, wet or if you want a flood.
I installed leakage sensors in the bathroom and toilet, in the event of a rupture of flexible hoses or an accidentally open tap after a centralized shutdown of water. Or even if the landlord in a state of alcoholic intoxication overflows the bathtub, the system will work like this:
Round pieces with a wire, which will get wet in the photo above and will send a signal to the control unit and give a short impulse to the valves that will close the flow troubles water. Then, every 40 seconds, a pulse and a sound signal about closing the valve will be given until the sensors dry out. But even when they dry, the valve will be closed.
It is important to understand that the device does not constantly consume energy to maintain the closing of the valves, a feature of their design. Therefore, the battery lasts for a long time.
After triggering the mechanism, it is necessary to open it manually by pressing the button. You can also shut off the water in the same way by pressing the "Close" button. Conveniently, you do not need to turn sour taps if you are leaving home for a long time.
"Wow, I want one for myself." The brother said when he saw the finished system on the pipe.
"And how much does it cost?" The brother asked.
"It is for you link, you will find the system that you need "
Blocker of water leaks "AquaBlok-Cinderella" from LLC "NPP" BIOS "
Now you know that there is an inexpensive system, half the price of analogs, which will protect your pocket from unforeseen expenses for repairs for yourself and your neighbors.
