Heating is one of the ways of heating in winter, and its usage rate in modern homes is also relatively high. What should I do if the radiator leaks?
1. The connection point of the radiator system is very easy to leak, including the connection point between the pipes, the connection point between the pipe and the radiator, as well as the running air and the wire plug. These connection points are either due to insufficient tightness of the link, or due to corrosion by water and air, causing water leakage. When selecting materials, pay attention to the quality of the pipes and the quality of the radiator accessories. In case of water leakage, the accessories should be replaced in time.
2. Use a hot towel to block thermal expansion and cold contraction. When hot water is injected, those radiators that are not of sufficient quality will burst and leak water under the action of pressure. It is plugged to reduce water flow and reduce possible losses caused by hot water gushing.
3. Check whether the water leakage caused by the corrosion phenomenon has passed the shelf life. This is a problem encountered by many consumers, especially the radiator that has been used for more than ten years. The probability of corrosion will be higher. If there is a water leakage accident, you should first check whether the warranty period has expired. If the warranty period has not expired, you can ask the manufacturer to replace it with a new one for you, but if it is due to the long service life, you can only buy a new one.
4. Install in a safe location In the process of using radiators for heating, some users will modify the radiators without permission, which will also bring hidden dangers of water leakage. Generally speaking, the radiator is installed in a position that is conducive to indoor heating. Once the position is changed, it will cause an imbalance in the indoor temperature. On the other hand, once the pipes and radiators are moved, it is very easy to leak, causing unnecessary losses.
