Many homeowners will encounter the kitchen bathroom is too far apart resulting in not being able to use hot water in a timely manner, which may require plumbing and electrical renovation. Plumbing and electrical renovation has always been the top priority of new house renovation, but also an important hidden project, so next with the small to see it!
Before the plumbing renovation must consider the location of switches and sockets, the route of water and sewage, etc., and then plumbing wiring to go ceiling ceiling or ground to determine according to these. Whether a renovation team is reliable, look at the plumbing project will know. A good renovation team to do the plumbing track, its distribution are neat and reasonable, generally concentrated in a line, and then in the same location to disperse out. So that in case of any problems later, you can always disassemble and replace. In the use of piping materials, generally will use pvc pipe, but the more high-end decoration, will also use copper piping.
Plumbing lines go ceiling or ground to see the actual effect cost, the state does not have any hard and fast rules on it. The line length of the plumbing directly determines the size of expenses for plumbing renovations, especially in the kitchen and bathroom farther away from the house type, this aspect must be carefully measured. In general, plumbing lines are horizontal and vertical, a line can not turn twice, and a tube of up to three lines. If the ordinary socket, the distance from the ground is short, then do the ground line, but if it is the bath air conditioning socket, you can lead from the top.
The water line is always more brain injury, do not do a good job will not only affect the surrounding building materials and furniture, and may make the circuit short-circuit. If the kitchen and bathroom are too far away, the supply of hot water may be greatly reduced, and waste water. For this reason, I have found the following solutions for you:
First, the most direct solution is to install a thermostatic faucet, the memory metal in the faucet will be deployed in an instant in accordance with the temperature hot and cold water ration, and thermostatic water heaters only provide constant temperature of the water, the thermostatic faucet to ensure constant temperature of water.
Second, the installation of water heaters. But the safety of the water heater is always criticized, we must not choose the water heater when you choose the three products, it is best to buy to the regular store mall. And installed in a safer location at home.
Third, or you can also use a gas stove in combination with an electric water heater, you can install an instantaneous water heater in the bathroom, but this does not meet the large supply of hot water required for bathing, so the bath water can be led from the kitchen. Or in the kitchen using a small KitchenAid, bathroom installation of water heaters.
Fourth, only consider the gas, then add a circulation pump way to keep hot water flowing in the pipes to maintain the temperature and avoid cold water in the storage type pipes, but also the method of using electricity its slightly higher cost.
Be aware that: if you use a small kitchen treasure such as instantaneous heat through the type of water heater, its power consumption is relatively large, the installation needs to replace the electric gate wire, otherwise it may cause a fire because of excessive load.
If you use the bathtub + shower + kitchen water, you can consider a central water heater, a machine for multiple outlets at the same time. The price is about the same as buying two ordinary water heaters. Bathtubs use a lot of water, and generally require a capacity of 80L or more. In winter, the bathtub water inlet temperature is lower and the water supply may be insufficient. You can choose the right water heater according to the environment of your own home decoration.
