Ndifumanise ukuba iishawa kunye neebhafu ziphumla kakhulu xa amanzi egcinwe kubushushu obufanelekileyo, nto leyo eyenziwayo xa kufakwa ivalvu yokuxuba, nto leyo ibalulekileyo xa kufakelwa ezintsha. Enye into endingacebisa ukuba ufake naluphi na uhlobo lweyunithi yokuxuba umoya (njengeyam) ziivalvu ezithintela ukutsha; ezi ziya kukukhusela ekutshisweni ngamanzi ashushu xa exutywa namanzi abandayo aphola ngokukhawuleza!

Nazi iindlela zokufaka ivalvu yokuxuba kwi-water heater. Khumbula, ukuba awukhululekanga okanye awuqinisekanga ngayo nayiphi na kwezi ndlela, kungcono uqhagamshelane nengcali.

Ngaba ufuna ivalvu yokuxuba? Khangela uluhlu lwethu lweevalvu zokuxuba ezikwi-intanethi apha.

Lungiselela
Qinisekisa ukuba iqhosha lokulawula isifudumezi samanzi lijikelwe kwindawo ethi “lead”. Vala ivalvu yokuvala kumgca wamanzi abandayo oqhagamshelwe phezulu kwitanki. Okulandelayo, vula amanzi ashushu nabandayoiimpompongaphakathi endlwini ukuze amanzi angaphezulu kwimibhobho aphume. Ngoku yishiye i-heater iiyure ezimbalwa ukuze itanki kunye nemingxunya yomoya iphole. Uza kwazi ukuba sele ilungile xa ivakala ipholile xa uyichukumisa.

Ukuze ususe ityhubhu yomoya wokufudumala phezulu kweheater, qala uphakamise iflange esezantsi kwayo. Emva koko uyityhale uze uyibuyisele kuwe ukuze uyikhuphe.

Usebenzisa isikrufu esihlengahlengiswayo, ungayikhulula into yokufaka kwisiphelo esiphezulu sombhobho wamanzi abandayo. Yahlula izixhobo uze uzahlule (ngamacala ahlukeneyo) ngaphambi kokuba ujike ulungelelwaniso lwazo lwantlandlolo lujonge ezantsi – oku kuya kudala indawo eyaneleyo yokufaka iminwe yakho ngokukhuselekileyo phakathi kweengcingo ngaphandle kokusokola.

uqhagamshelo lwamanzi abandayo
Songa iteyiphu yeplamba yevinyl ujikeleze imisonto engaphantsi kwevalvu yokuvala, apho wahlula khona umgca ogobileyo.

Faka izihlanganisi ze-coupler zesilisa nezesifazana ezigayiweyo uze usebenzise i-screwdriver ukuyidibanisa kwakhona endaweni yayo.
Faka isiphelo esinye sesikrufu sombhobho esihlengahlengiswayo kumbhobho wamanzi abandayo oqhotyoshelwe phezu kolu qhagamshelo lutsha; kwakhona, jonga kabini iindawo ezikhululekileyo, oku kuya kunceda ukuthintela iimpazamo zoqhagamshelo kwixesha elizayo ngenxa yezinye iindawo kwezi mbhobho zikufutshane okanye ukuqhekeka kubangele ukuvuza!

Qinisa zonke izixhobo ngesandla ukuze ziqine kwaye kungabikho kuvuza nangayiphi na indlela xa ujika zombini izibambo ngasekhohlo nasekunene (ngokwewotshi).

Kufuneka ubambe ivalvu yokuxuba, iqhina lijonge phezulu uze ulungelelanise i-tee yamanzi abandayo ekupheleni kwevalvu yokuvala. Tsala isiciko esiluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka apho siqhagamshela khona nombhobho ngaphambi kokuba ujikeleze iteyiphu ngemisonto. Ubambe ivalvu ngesandla esinye, jija i-inlet kwisiphelo sesilisa se-coupler. Sebenzisa isikrufu esihlengahlengiswayo ukuqinisa ivalvu yokuxuba kabini ngokwewotshi.

Songa iteyiphu yevinyl ujikeleze imisonto esezantsi kweti yamanzi abandayo uze uyijije ngesandla. Bamba ivalvu yokuxuba ngengalo enye ngelixa uqinisa indawo yayo ngesitshixo esilungisekayo.

uqhagamshelo lwamanzi ashushu
Sebenzisa isikrufu esihlengahlengiswayo ukuze ukhulule kwaye ususe isihlanganisi esikwisiphelo esiphezulu sepayipi yamanzi ashushu ukusuka kumgca oya ekhayeni lakho. Emva kwesi nyathelo, yibeke ecaleni ukuze uqhubeke.

Songa iteyiphu yevinyl ujikeleze imisonto yepayipi yamanzi ashushu uze uncamathisele ipayipi yesifudumezi samanzi kuyo. Endaweni yoko, songa isiphelo ngesitshixo sepayipi njengesixhasi.

Ukuze le nkqubo ibe lula, susa isiciko esibomvu ezantsi komxubeivalvu.

Okulandelayo, songa iteyiphu yevinyl ujikeleze imisonto uze usebenzise isikrufu esihlengahlengiswayo ukuncamathisela ucingo olugobileyo oluyi-12″ ezantsi.

Tsala isiciko seplastiki esibomvu kwisiphelo esisezantsi se-tee yamanzi ashushu kwivalvu. Songa iteyiphu ye-vinyl ujikeleze imisonto. Sebenzisa isikrufu esihlengahlengiswayo ukuncamathisela isiphelo esingaphezulu se-flexible pipe yokuqala eyayisuswe kwi-hot water tee ukuya kwi-tee yamanzi ashushu.

Vula kancinci ivalvu yokuvala kumgca wamanzi abandayo. Ngoku jonga zonke iindawo eziqhagamshelweyo ukuze ubone ukuba azinazo iidriphu kwaye uqinisekise ukuba akukho manzi avuzayo. Ukuba kuyimfuneko, qinisa uqhagamshelo ukuze uyeke ukuvuza.

Lungisa umbhobho wokukhupha amanzi endaweni yawo. Beka ulawulo lwesifudumezi samanzi kubushushu obuphakathi kwaye uvumele amanzi asetankini afudumale kangangeyure. Nceda ujonge imiyalelo yokufaka ngaphambi kokulungisa ubushushu bevalvu yokuxuba kunye nesifudumezi samanzi.

yonwabela amanzi afudumeleyo
Isishwankathelo esifutshane samanyathelo okufaka umxube kwi-water heater: Okokuqala, cima umbane kwi-water heater. Okulandelayo, susa yonke into yokufudumala ejikeleze ivalvu endala uze uyikhulule phezulu kwitanki. Nje ukuba oku kwenziwe, shelela i-stem assembly endala uze uyilahle ngokufanelekileyo okanye uyiphinde uyisebenzise ukuba kuyimfuneko. Gcina indawo yakho yokusebenza ihlelekile kwaye uphephe ukuphoswa ziindawo!

Ngoku faka izikhondo ezintsha, uzibeke kwimingxunya esezantsi kwetanki ngokulandelelana ngokuchanekileyo ukuze zime ngokuthe nkqo (isiqu A siphezulu). Sebenzisa isikrufu esihlengahlengiswayo ukuze uzikrufule endaweni yazo ngeteyiphu yeteflon ide iqine ngokwaneleyo ukuba inxalenye nganye ingabi ngaphezu kwe-1/4 intshi xa icinezelwe kunye. Okokugqibela, zikrufule kakuhle zonke iivalvu ezintathu kwaye wonwabele amanzi afudumeleyo!
