The solar water heater pipe is one of the important parts of the solar water heater system. It connects the solar collector and the water heater and is responsible for transporting hot water from the collector to the water heater. After long-term use, the pipe will suffer from aging, hardening, wear and other problems, and will need to be replaced in time to ensure the normal operation of the solar water heater. Here's how to replace the solar water heater pipe.
1. Turn off the water source and power to the solar water heater, turn on the water release switch under the water heater, and drain all the hot water.
2. Find both ends of the pipe fitting and use a wrench to loosen the nuts on the pipe joints at both ends. Remove the hose from the fitting.
3. The length of the new pipe must be consistent with the length of the old pipe. Push both ends of the new pipe into thejoints of the pipe to ensure that they coincide with the connection of the old pipe.
4. Apply lubricating oil or soapy water to the hose end, then secure both ends of the hose with lock nuts. Be careful not to overtighten the nut to prevent the pipe from being strangled.
5. After connecting the pipe, turn on the water source and power supply of the water heater and observe whether there is water leakage. If there is no problem, turn off the water release switch under the water heater and the solar water heater pipe has been replaced.
It should be noted that before replacing the pipe, be sure to disconnect the water source and power supply, and drain the hot water to avoid accidents. After replacing the pipe, be sure to check whether the water pipe connection is firm and whether there is no leakage to ensure that the solar water heater can work normallyis lying. Regular inspection and replacement of pipes can extend the life of the solar water heater and ensure its long-term normal operation.
