What if the hot water pipe freezes in winter?

Hot water pipes are frozen in winter, and the fastest way to thaw them is to install electric heating belts.

In fact, it is only necessary to connect the front ends of two parallel wires of the electric heating belt with 1 live wire and 1 zero wire respectively, lay the electric heating belt flat or wound on the water pipe, fix it with aluminum foil tape or pressure-sensitive adhesive tape, and seal the end of the electric heating belt with a junction box.

Pipelines play a very important role in daily production and life, especially water pipes, factory water and daily life water. Then, due to the influence of the external environment and climate, the pipeline will freeze up in winter, which not only affects the water use, but also may cause the pipeline to freeze and crack. Therefore, people choose electric heating belt to keep water pipes warm.

The water pipe needs to maintain the anti-freezing temperature without being very high, and the low-temperature self-limiting electric heating belt can be selected. The temperature can be maintained at 0-65℃, the temperature can be automatically controlled, it can be cut at will, and it is very convenient and easy to operate. When the user buys the electric heating belt, the manufacturer will also give the user the installation instructions of the electric heating belt, and follow the above operation when installing.

Anti-freezing method of water pipe

1. Heat preservation treatment of water meter: during decoration, not only the water pipe should be insulated, but also the water meter should be insulated, because many times there is no problem with the water pipe, but the water meter is burst by ice, which will bring inconvenience to domestic water.

Therefore, when decorating, it is necessary to do a heat preservation treatment for the water meter. Of course, some property and water supply companies will also pay attention to this problem and take the initiative to do heat preservation measures for the water meter, with the aim of preventing the water meter from freezing and cracking.

2. If there are no people living indoors, drain the tap water: every day in extremely cold weather, there will be newly installed and newly maintained new houses, and the renovated ones will be frozen. For example, the toilet in the bathroom, the shower in the bathroom, the gas water heater in the kitchen and so on. It was frozen and cracked when the window was opened for ventilation in cold weather and the window was not closed in time.

Therefore, if you haven't moved in after the renovation of the new house, or haven't lived at home for a long time for various reasons, then in winter, you should close the main water valve at home, then drain the water from the water pipe, and at the same time close the doors and windows in time to avoid unnecessary losses.
