How to turn on and off the heating valve in the building?

Central heating is an indispensable equipment for people in northern areas, which can bring them great warmth. So, how to switch the heating valve in the building? What should I pay attention to when closing the heating valve?

First, how to switch the heating valve in the building

Under normal circumstances, counterclockwise rotation is on and clockwise rotation is off.

Generally, the heating valves located in the corridor are handwheel-type, which can be opened or closed directly. When the valve is loose, it can be adjusted directly by hand. When you can't twist it by hand, you need to use a wrench.

However, as a user, it is not recommended to twist the corridor valve privately, because it belongs to public facilities and cannot be opened and closed at will after being fixed. If there is a problem, you should contact the heating company or the residential property and let them handle it, so as not to damage the valve and bring yourself unnecessary trouble.

Second, what should I pay attention to when closing the heating valve?

1. If the heater leaks during use, the heater valve must be closed immediately, and then the valve for controlling the leaking pipe must be found and closed. Open the air valve to exhaust, so as to avoid excessive loss.

2. If you use iron pipes for heating, it is easy to get sand holes for a long time, leading to water leakage. This is a common phenomenon in life. First, you can cut off a section of bicycle inner tube, then stick it tightly on the trachoma, wrap it buckle by buckle, and finally tie it tightly with iron wire, and the trachoma will slowly and automatically rust to death.

3. If there is sand holes and water leakage in the branch pipe of the heating, it is necessary to wrap the branch pipe with a towel first, and then set aside a water basin, so that the water flowing out can be discharged into the basin. Finally, contact the heating department and ask it to arrange someone to come to the door for treatment.
