 The present photograph (from my personal file) shows us, in different colors, a water tap (commonly called a thief). It consists of the galvanized iron matrix pipe (dark green color and larger diameter), the respective clamp (blue-gray color), which will keep the pieces together and prevent water leakage and a thermo-melting pipe that will lead the water to its destination .

 

When is this type of water intake used?

This type of shot is used in repairs in places with little space to maneuver and install the usual pieces, an elbow or a T, and when the time is very limited for the restoration of water service.

 What does it consist of?

The nipple is drilled, in this case vertical, 20 cm. In length and 2 "in diameter, a clamp with 1/2" outlet is placed to connect a green tube of thermofusion. A quick stop valve must be installed in the one-inch distribution pipe, as a precaution for future repairs or extensions of the water distribution network, and that's it!

 Repair time. The estimated time is approximately one hour.

  I hope that this publication can be useful to everyone, even in domestic repairs.
