House plumbing diagrams
Every person today strives for comfort, so it is difficult to imagine a country house without water. The water supply to the house varies according to schemes, however, the basic water supply system is the same. We suggest you look into water supply systems wiring diagrams and choose the most suitable one for your home or cottage.
Types of connection of water supply systems
The connection can be serial or parallel. Each of them is fed from a central main line or from a well (well).
Pipe layout diagrams
The serial connection type is ideal for small households. With this connection, the pipeline connects water consumers, so water goes to each one in turn. A pipeline is led from the source to the consumer. A tee with one inlet and two outlets is mounted. It unites the primary consumer with others.
Horizontal parallel pipe layout
In either method, the components of the systems are the same. The water collection comes from the main line or from a well or well. A well (well) requires a booster pumping station, a storage tank (hydraulic accumulator) and, without fail, filters.
Step-by-step instructions for installing a water supply system
If you have a question about where exactly to get water from. In addition to the standard water supply, there are two options: a well or a borehole. The well can have a depth of 10 - 15 meters, the well can reach 30 meters. When using well water, filters are installed on the system for coarse and subsequent fine cleaning.
The well must be equipped with a special pumping station.
Borehole water supply consists of:
- submersible pump or station,
- nipple,
- non-return valve that prevents water from flowing back,
- pipeline,
- locking mechanism (fittings),
- thin filter type, five-piece (automation connection),
- pressure gauge,
- pressure switch,
- hydraulic accumulator
To install any system, you need to calculate the length and diameter of the required pipe. For the calculation, the length of the pipe in the entire house is taken. If the pipeline has a length of 15 - 20 meters, a diameter of up to 20 millimeters is suitable, 30 meters, 25 millimeters is suitable. If the length of the pipes is longer, take 32 millimeters.
Water supply from a well
The pipe for the collector is also calculated. For one tap, water consumption per minute is 5 liters. Each consumer is counted and added up. For 30 liters per minute, a pipe with a diameter of 25 millimeters is required. For 50 liters 32 millimeters are suitable, for 75 liters 38 millimeters are suitable. If you have a large family or high water consumption, 40 percent is added to the calculations.
Plumbing inside the house
Metal-plastic is an aluminum pipe coated on both sides with polypropylene; it does not rust, does not deteriorate when exposed to light or impurities in water, does not accumulate deposits, but is not suitable for water with 95 degrees.
For a well or well water supply, this is the best option. Steel has one drawback: it is susceptible to corrosion. All individual elements must have threads or special connections.
The movement of the installation starts from the source itself and goes to consumers. When supplying water to a home from a well (well), a pump is inserted inside or on top. The pipe is connected to the pump with a clamp or, if there is a thread, with its help. Threads are more often used for central water supply.
Then the water supply is laid to the house and the storage tank; if there is no accumulator, then it is simply introduced into the room. A tee with a shut-off type of valve is installed behind the tank. From the first outlet the pipeline goes to the water heater. From the second, to the cold collector. From the water heater to the manifold for hot water supply. The system is wired from them. The meter and pressure gauge are installed by the water supply service.

When wiring through a wall, a glass is used. When wiring in the house, the distance of the pipe from the wall should be 25 centimeters. If there are drain taps, a slope is made to the side. For the storage tank, the tap also comes with the same slope.
When tracing a corner from the outside, an allowance of 1.5 centimeters is made, when going around the inside - 4. The pipes are secured with double and single clips. The distance is 2 meters. When using a soldering iron, the pipes are cut with special scissors to the required length. The cut should be perpendicular.
The depth of the future joint is marked on the pipeline by 1.5 centimeters. Places for soldering are degreased with alcohol. A suitable nozzle is put on the soldering iron and heated to working condition (260 degrees).
A heated nozzle is placed on the pipes. 6 seconds are counting down. The nozzle is removed. The pipes or fitting and pipe are connected. The water supply is ready. Now you know how the pipeline is laid out and you can do all the work yourself or with the help of specialists.
