Tips for turning the heating valve on and off
For many families in the north, heating is not a new word, but an indispensable necessity for winter life. At present, there are many different functions and different types of heating on the market, and they have a variety of design styles, compared with the old heating in the past, there is a very big innovation and advanced creative design. But in fact, many people don’t know how to look at the switch of the heater, especially how to see the switch of the heating valve. In fact, this is a very simple process, as long as it is understood through simple information, I believe that many people will no longer have doubts. Next, I will introduce some relevant tips to help you turn on and off the heating valve quickly and accurately.
Specific tips for heating valves to see switches
(1) Carefully observe the mark displayed on the heating valve, generally speaking, open corresponds to open, and shut corresponds to close; (2) When encountering a spherical valve (ball valve), the handle and the pipe are connected to form a straight line, indicating that the valve is open, if it is not a straight line but a right angle, then the valve is closed; (3) When encountering a valve with a handwheel (heating temperature control valve), the right-turn valve is open, and the left-turn valve is closed; (4) The heating valve switch is generally designed to rotate clockwise to correspond to closing, and counterclockwise to rotate to correspond to opening; (5) The situation of the floor heating pipe is relatively special, which is manifested in the fact that the heating is generally vertical, which means that when the small valve is opened, it should be vertical, and the small valve needs to be horizontally closed; There are more large valves on the main pipeline, and the pipeline for water supply and return is generally horizontal, so the horizontal is open and the vertical is closed.
What to pay attention to when using a heating valve
(1) When the heating starts to test the water, it is necessary to ensure that there are people in the house, and more importantly, they will look at the switch of the heating valve, and open the inlet and return valves used in the water testing process. And the exhaust valve on the radiator should be closed at this time; (2) Do not open and close the valve on the heating pipe at will. It is best not for non-professional repair and maintenance personnel not to easily try to disassemble or modify the heating pipe or radiator, and do not shake the heating pipe or radiator at will; (3) When it is confirmed that the switch of the heating valve has been turned on, and the existing radiator is not hot, check whether there is air in the pipe. Then you need to open the exhaust valve on the radiator to expel the air; (4) In winter, it should be ensured that the heating valve is not always open, so as not to easily cause the valve to break; (5) When there is a problem with the heating valve, the heating should generally be suspended, and it is best to check the cause of the problem and repair the heating in time; If there is a similar water leak, then the inlet and return valves should be closed and a professional repairer should be asked for help.
