Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of household water meter installation, and particularly relates to a household water meter installation process. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the installation of a conventional water supply pipe network water meter valve, a plurality of pipe fittings are combined together to achieve normal use. The conventional water meter valve is commonly installed and connected in the following sequence: household pipe material, external thread, lock valve, connecting pipe, check valve, water meter connector, water meter, water meter connector, gate valve, external thread, and household pipe material.
[0003] The conventional water meter valve connection generally requires 8-9 fittings, with each fitting corresponding to one interface. The fittings are connected by a thread connection and a raw rubber band sealing process. The installation is troublesome, the labor cost is high, and the waste generated by the raw rubber band has an impact on the water meter. Moreover, the first installation qualified rate of the household water meter is less than 70%, and the repair cost is higher.
[0004] The conventional water meter valve connection method has many drawbacks.
[0005] 1. High cost, large number of pipe fittings, and more than 8-10 fittings for one household water meter.
[0006] 2. Many interfaces, and each additional fitting increases one interface.
[0007] 3. Thread connection and filling sealing require winding raw rubber bands, which is low in work efficiency.
[0008] 4. Many safety hazards, many fittings and interfaces, many safety hazards during installation, high responsibility and technical requirements for installers, and a first installation qualified rate of less than 70%.
[0009] 6. Difficult maintenance, all fittings need to be completely removed and reinstalled when one fitting fails.
[0010] 7. Many pipe fittings are used, the installation distance is long, and the length of the large water meter box is increased. SUMMARY
[0011] To solve the above problems, the application provides a household water meter installation process.
[0012] The technical scheme adopted by the application is as follows: The application provides a household water meter installation process, including the following steps:
[0013] Step 1: Install the water meter valve on the water meter.
[0014] Further, the water meter valve is a double-union water meter valve, one end of the double-union water meter valve is connected with an external thread pipe fitting, union connection and rubber ring sealing are adopted, and the other end of the double-union water meter valve is connected with a water meter union and sealed by a rubber ring.
[0015] Further, the water meter valve is a single-union water meter valve, one end of the single-union water meter valve is connected with a water meter union and sealed by a rubber ring, and the other end of the single-union water meter valve is connected with a single-union connector and sealed by a rubber ring.
[0016] Further, the single-union connector is connected with a water inlet of a household water pipe by hot melting or adhesive connection.
[0017] Further, the single-union connector is one of a single-union straight connector, a single-union elbow and a single-union tee.
[0018] Further, the single-union water meter valve is one or a combination of a lock valve, an encryption valve, a magnetic valve, a gate valve, a ball valve, a stop valve and a check valve.
[0019] Further, the double-union water meter valve is one or a combination of a lock valve, an encryption valve, a magnetic valve, a gate valve, a ball valve, a stop valve and a check valve.
[0020] Further, the single-union water meter valve is made of one of copper, stainless steel, cast iron, polyethylene, polypropylene and polyvinyl chloride.
[0021] Further, the double-union water meter valve is made of one of copper, stainless steel, cast iron, polyethylene, polypropylene and polyvinyl chloride.
[0022] The present application has the following beneficial effects by adopting the above structure:
