5. Ways to hide the technical niche in the bathroom.
Quite often, the owners of their houses and apartments with an independent supply of water, are faced with the question of how best to dissolve water in the apartment.
There are two most common pipe routing methods.
If someone decides to replace the old pipes with new ones, from the fact that the lights are already clogged and the water does not flow well, then the new pipes are also assembled on tees. It's easier and cheaper. Although in the overhaul of the bathroom, some put the collector wiring.
1. Cheaper
If the system is going to tees, then you do not need to spend on additional pipes. There is one pipe and in the place where there is a consumer (toilet, faucet, washer) - a tee is installed and connected to the device. Sometimes two consumers are connected to one tee, for example, a toilet and a washing machine.
2. Compact
There are only two pipes in the bathroom. GVS and HVS, and from them tees. The pipes take up less space and are easier to hide, although this is not an indication if the pipes are completely sewn up or retracted into the grooves.
3. Easier
Water can be brought in less time or cheaper at work if you invite the wizard.
1. Disconnection of consumers
You do not have the ability to block each consumer separately in one place, if you need, for example, to repair the mixer.
2. Pressure drop
Possible pressure drops in the system. For example, you bathe in the shower and someone simultaneously flushed the toilet, the water in the shower will become hotter, and sometimes it burns.
3. Uncomfortable
When tee wiring, all the tees are scattered in the bathroom, and if you need for example to turn off the washing machine, you have to reach into an awkward place.
If the key point is to save money, but for everything to work as it should, then partially you can “correct” the shortcomings of such a system:
1. Some consumers can install faucets. For example, on the faucets under the sink in the kitchen and inside the bedside tables of the bathroom sink.
Here in this photo you can see two faucets, which will be closed by a bedside table. In case of necessity, the mixer can be dismantled without turning off the water throughout the room.
It is also possible to connect a toilet bowl and a washing machine on one tee, or cold water in the kitchen and a dishwasher. To do this, sit through special faucets with a 3/4 inch output.
2. In order to avoid pressure drops, the main pipe can be started up with a larger diameter than bends to tees. For example: the thickness of the trunk pipe will be 3/4 inch and the outlets from the tees will be 2/1 inch. Thus it is possible to minimize the drops. Although if the pressure in the system is 4 or more, then the drops will not be felt at all.
In the case of metal-plastic or polypropylene, then the trunk pipe can be made 26 mm and bends per 20 mm.
Or the trunk 20 mm, and the bends to make the 16th pipe.
Thus, we get the correct layout of economy class.
If a major overhaul is being undertaken, or a bathroom is being built from scratch, then it makes sense to look at the collector water distribution.
Installation can be carried out both open and hidden.
1. Convenient
All communications are in this place. For example, there is no need to crawl under the sink to turn off the mixer in which the crane-box is faulty.
Especially true if the house was one pregnant woman or children. It will be enough to shut off the necessary tap on the collector.
2. Reliable
From the collector to the consumer there is one single pipe without connections. In the case of a quality pipe, leakage in wired walls is excluded. (although if, for example, with the triple wiring, the compounds were made of polypropylene (soldering), then the leak is also impossible)
3. No pressure drop
In the case of collector wiring and the presence of working pressure, there are almost no pressure drops when using for example two sinks at the same time. Moreover, in each consumer can limit the flow of water. However, if a collector with valve faucets is installed.
You can limit the water supply for example to the toilet, if the pressure in the system is too low. And the fact that the toilet will be typed in 2 or 3 times slower than with a full opening - will not affect anything.
1. Expensive
Dilute water with the help of collectors is much more expensive in terms of material and work if you invite the master. It is worth adding here the cost of the collectors themselves, additional footage of pipes and most importantly, it is necessary to provide a place where all this should be placed.
Here is the collector layout in the new bathroom of a private house. The pipes were subsequently sewn up.
This manifold has valves for each elbow. On branches are installed not folding ball valves.
Under the word "not collapsible" it should be understood that in the event of a failure of one of the faucets, it is impossible to replace them individually, the entire collector changes. (Or part of it from thread to thread)
In these collectors, we can only open or close the outlet. Adjustment of such faucets will not lead to anything good.
You can not say about the collectors with valve and adjusting valves.
Collectors come in 2.3 and 4 outlet. Others I have not met. From available on the market and collect the collector for the desired number of outputs. For example, as in the following photo, a collector is compiled for 5 outputs. 3 + 2
They are interconnected by carving. They are either sealed with a rubber gasket as in the photo above (there is a rubber sealing ring at the end of the thread) - or with other seals, such as flax.
Collectors may be different. With and without valves. With valve and ball valves. Under a carving or under an eurocone.
Absolutely it does not matter which pipe you will water, the collector will fit all types of pipes.
The most important thing is not to save when buying a collector. If the funds are limited, then give preference to triple wiring, rather than buying low-quality collectors, which can later flow.
Example of a tired collector on crimp fittings:
If you look from right to left, you can see a small hole in the second outlet and between the third and fourth.
The collector was replaced with a new composite of 2 parts with crimp eurocones under the MP.
Before laying pipes from the collector, it is worthwhile to think carefully that the pipes do not pass in places where drilling of walls and floors for the installation of walls or appliances is potentially possible.
Using the example of this snapshot, you can see that the pipes are not all close by, but are separated by groups. These are places on the wall where the installation for the suspended toilet should be fixed.
Subsequently, when finishing, the collector is hidden in a special hatch. Hidden from prying eyes. (another object)
Let's see what is behind this door:
If you look closer, you can see that every challenge is signed and can be closed at any time. Convenient access to cranes, filters and counters.
Here communications are hidden in the wall behind the toilet. The hatch is clearly visible.
In this case, the hatch is completely invisible:
But if you know how to open, we get convenient access to all communications. 
As can be seen from the photo and description, you should conclude: if you are planning an expensive or overhaul and allow funds, then collector wiring will be your best friend when servicing your communications.
It is worth noting that in addition to metal collectors, there is also plastic. For example from polypropylene:
Or collector for cross-linked polyethylene:
As mentioned above, the device is designed for hot and cold water. For even more convenient use, they are available in two colors - blue and red. This allows not to be confused during installation and technical work, which greatly facilitates life in the future.
Comb types are divided into 3 types: with 2 3 or 4 branches. The choice depends on the wishes of the owner and the number of water supply units in the room. If in your case of nodes 5 you do not need to despair, there is a solution - you can purchase a comb with 2 and 3 branches and connect them to each other during installation.
A significant advantage of collector wiring pipes is that thanks to it, it is possible to mount a hidden gasket. This is ideal for the previously conceived interior of the room in which the comb will be installed.
In terms of safety, the distribution comb is one of the safest pipe routing. After its installation, residents are not in danger of breaking pipes and leaking hot water out, as it stabilizes its flow. If there are several floors in the building, you should install the wiring on each of them. The design of the device is very convenient, the pipes go from the risers directly to the distributor, and only then to all the sanitary devices existing in the house. When installing it is important to observe an equal distance between the comb and the end device.
Installation of a comb does not foresee easy work. As a rule, it takes a lot of time and requires the hands of a knowledgeable expert in this matter. But, despite all the difficulties of installation, they try to install this particular layout in modern houses and apartments, as it is very effective and easy to use . New models of combs are issued in view of the complexity of installation, this greatly facilitates the work of the master during installation. It can be fixed not only in the wiring closet, but also to the wall for this purpose, fixing clamps are included for greater stability of the device, and the high resistance to corrosion allows the comb to last for many years.
In order to clearly understand what a distribution comb is, you need to know all the information necessary for it for a person who does not understand anything in this matter. For complete acquaintance, it is worthwhile to present several types of different comb.
Manufacturing materials can be polymeric, steel, brass or copper.
Configuration:
Before you purchase the device, it is important to consider every little thing. To correlate all the functions that must be performed in the future comb. In this case, special attention should be paid not to the material, unfortunately many people look only at him, but also at other important factors.
What to look for in the first place:
The capacity of the purchased device - it is important that it copes with the flow of water to all nodes. The right choice of the distribution comb is an important job that is difficult to carry out on your own, especially if a person does not understand anything at all in this difficult matter.
In modern conditions it is important not only the quality of the plumbing work, but also the finishing of the room, designed to make the bathroom look aesthetically attractive.
There are several ways to achieve this. Pipes and faucets in the toilet can be closed with a decorative panel of chipboard or drywall, some even sheathe the walls with ordinary plywood.
But it will be much more effective to use plumbing roller shutters, which are becoming increasingly popular among our compatriots.
Shutters for the bathroom recently appeared on the shelves of domestic stores. This type of blinds, a variety of which can be viewed on rolprofil.ru, allows you to hide all plumbing communications, but it does not restrict access to them.
This is important, because in ninety percent of cases it is precisely the inability to get to the water or sewage junction in time that leads to the flooding of the toilet room both in your own apartment and in the apartment of your neighbors.
The most affordable type of decorative coatings are roller shutters, which can be moved apart in just a few seconds.
So, blinds for the bathroom make taps and meters available. In addition, they will make the design of a small bathroom complete and modern, while not requiring significant investments to purchase.
In addition to free access to the counters, cranes and other devices, the blinds have a lot of advantages that ordinary hinged doors and panels do not possess. These benefits include:
In this case, the cost of rolling shutters will not be too expensive, not more expensive than ordinary blinds for windows. The cost of the product is affected by its size, installation method and external characteristics.
Защитные жалюзи уже давно используются в офисах, магазинах и гаражах. Принципы работы сантехнических жалюзи практически такой же, но все же они имеют несколько отличий:
Если подумать, то окажется, что защитные рольставни в условиях обычной квартиры будут лишней тратой денег, не более.
Установка жалюзи в ванную комнату – процедура не слишком сложная. Если вы на деле знакомы со строительными работами, то установить рольставни вам не составит труда. 
Тем не менее, монтаж таких роллетных систем лучше всего доверить специалистам. Первым делом они произведут необходимые расчеты, замеры площади.
После этого, мастера вмонтируют в стены короб и систему подъема роллет, которая бывает двух видов: механическая и электрическая. Затем устанавливаются сами жалюзи, которые легко можно окрасить в тот цвет, какой захочется хозяину ванной комнаты.
Нужно заметить, что самое важное в покупке и установке данной системы – правильно произвести все необходимые замеры. Поэтому лучше не рисковать и пригласить для этого дела опытного замерщика из фирмы, у которой покупаются ставни – например, Рольпрофиль.
Он не только произведет замеры, но и предоставить клиенту всю интересующую его информацию по рольставням.
When choosing a roller blind in your apartment, focus not only on their appearance. It is necessary to take into account the principle of the system, ease of use.
Indeed, in many respects the safety of your property and your peace of mind depends on the quality of the chosen system of blinds in the bathroom.
