Before the pipeline pressure test, you should always pay attention to the water test notice posted by the heating company in the community. The property should notify the residents of the time to suppress the water test in advance; on the day of the water test, there should be someone in the user’s home, and pay attention to heat dissipation when the water pressure test Whether there is water leakage due to aging, looseness, etc. at the pipe joints and valves of the radiator and radiator, and whether there is a pipe blockage problem.
First, how to check if the radiator is leaking
Before heating starts, the radiator needs to undergo a water test process. The return valve must be closed first, and then the inlet valve must be opened, so that the water can fill the radiator, and then the air release valve can be opened to remove the radiator. When the air is exhausted, the radiator is full of water. It is good to pay attention to the water test. The main thing is to check whether the radiator's various interfaces are leaking after being filled with water.
What should I do if the radiator leaks during pressure test
During the pressure test, residents will stay in their homes to check the radiators, pipes and valves in their homes, especially to see if the manual air release valve is loose or broken. Once the radiator bursts or the air release valve is broken, the cracks should be blocked immediately with a thick towel, rag, etc., and then the relevant personnel should be notified for maintenance.
Notice for pressure test of radiator:
1. When testing the water, stay at home, turn on the inlet and back water logging, and the running wind is closed.
2. Do not shake the radiator, and do not allow the radiator and pipes to bear weight.
3. To start the water test, open the air release valve and release the air in the pipe.
4. Once a water leak is found, immediately close the water inlet and return water valves, and contact the property department.
5. If the upstairs is heated by the floor, pay attention to whether there are signs of water leakage on the ceiling of the home.
