Ma ke kahua o nā hale ʻauʻau, ʻoiai he liʻiliʻi ka nui o nā gaskets, he kuleana koʻikoʻi ia i ka sila ʻana, ka pale ʻana i ka wai, ka pale ʻana i ka leaka o nā lako, a me ka pale ʻana i ka maikaʻi o ka wai. ʻO nā mea nui o nā gaskets e komo pū me NBR (Nitrile Butadiene Rubber), silicone rubber, EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer), a me ka peroxide-cured EPDM, kēlā me kēia me nā ʻano like ʻole:

NBR (Nitrile Butadiene Rubber)He kūpaʻa maikaʻi loa kona i ka aila, e kūpono ai no nā wahi lumi ʻauʻau kahi e pili ai paha me nā ʻila aila.

ʻO ka laholio silikona: Loaʻa iā ia ke kūpaʻa kiʻekiʻe a me ka haʻahaʻa o ke ana wela a me ke kūpaʻa kemika maikaʻi, e hiki ai iā ia ke hoʻololi i nā ʻano wai like ʻole a me nā loli o ka mahana.

ʻEPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer)He kūpaʻa ikaika kona i ka wā, hiki ke pale aku i ka ʻānai ʻia ʻana o nā kukuna ultraviolet, ka ozone, a me nā mea kemika, a he kūpaʻa maikaʻi hoʻi i ka wai.

ʻO ka EPDM i hoʻōla ʻia me ka peroxideUa hala i kekahi mau palapala hōʻoia honua koʻikoʻi, e like me ka palapala hōʻoia AS NZS4020 ma Australia/New Zealand (e hōʻoia ana i ka palekana i ka wā e pili ana me ka wai inu), ka palapala hōʻoia JFSL 370/JIS S3200-7 ma Iapana (kūlike me nā kūlana hoʻomaʻemaʻe a me ka palekana), ka palapala hōʻoia KIWA ma Netherlands (ʻike ʻia ka maikaʻi a me ka hoʻomau ʻana), ka palapala hōʻoia ACS ma Palani (palekana no ka pili ʻana me ka wai inu), ka palapala hōʻoia KTW/W270/W534/DVGW/UBA-LL a me nā palapala hōʻoia ʻē aʻe ma Kelemānia (hoʻāʻo palekana a me ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe multidimensional), ka palapala hōʻoia USA NSF61 (e like me nā kūlana palekana o nā lako wai inu ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa), ka palapala hōʻoia Ö-NORM/LMG ma Austria (nā kikoʻī kūloko no ka maikaʻi a me ka palekana), ka palapala hōʻoia UK:WRAS/WRC (kūlike me ka pili ʻana me ka wai inu ma ka mākeke UK), ka palapala hōʻoia ʻEulopa EN681-1 (nā kūlana hoʻohui like no ka maikaʻi a me ka palekana), a me ka palapala hōʻoia PAK/PAH (ʻaʻohe ona polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons ʻino), e hōʻoia piha ana i ka maikaʻi, palekana, a me ka palekana o ke kaiapuni. Ua hala nā mea ʻē aʻe i nā palapala hōʻoia maʻamau e hōʻoia i ka hana kumu.

I. Nā Gaskets Sila Laho: Ke kiaʻi ʻana i ka Laina Sila o nā Lako Lumi ʻauʻau Hoʻohana nui ʻia nā gaskets sila laho ma nā ʻāpana koʻikoʻi like ʻole o nā lako lumi ʻauʻau:

Ka Mita Wai: ʻO nā gasket sila rapa ma ke komo ʻana a me ka puka ʻana o ka wai (ʻo ka hapa nui i hana ʻia me nā mea EPDM a i ʻole NBR) e pale aku i ka liki ʻana o ka wai, e hōʻoiaʻiʻo ana i ke ana pololei o ka mika wai. Hōʻalo kēia i ka nalowale ʻana o ka wai a me ke ʻano ana i hoʻokumu ʻia e ka liki ʻana, a hōʻoiaʻiʻo i ka hana paʻa o ka mika wai no ka manawa lōʻihi.

Pākuʻi

Ma ka pilina ma waena o ka faucet a me ka paipu wai, hoʻopiha ka gasket sila laholio i ka hakahaka e pale ai i ka wai mai ka leaka ʻana ma ka interface, e hōʻoiaʻiʻo ana i ka sila ʻana o ka ʻōnaehana hoʻolako wai.

ʻO ke gasket sila ma waena o ke kāmela valve a me ka noho valve (hiki ke koho ʻia ka mea e like me NBR, silicone rubber, a i ʻole EPDM e like me ke kaiapuni) e hōʻoia i ka sila ʻana i ka wā e huli ʻia ai ke kahe wai a pio, e hōʻemi ana i ka leakage wai, a hoʻolōʻihi i ke ola lawelawe o ka faucet.

Lua

Ma ka pilina ma waena o ka pahu wai a me ke kino lua, pale ia i ka pahu wai mai ka liki ʻana.

Ma ka pilina ma waena o ka paipu wai ʻino a me ka wai ʻino, hana ia i kahi sila maikaʻi, e hoʻopau ana i ka liki ʻana o ka wai ʻino a me ka hoʻi ʻana mai o nā ʻala ʻē.

Poʻo ʻauʻau

Ma ka pilina ma waena o ke poʻo pīpī a me ke koʻokoʻo, hōʻoiaʻiʻo ia i kahi pilina paʻa a pale i ka wai mai ke kahe ʻana i waho.

Ma nā pilina ma waena o nā wēlau ʻelua o ka hose a me ka faucet a me ke poʻo pīpī, pale ia i ka wai mai ka liki ʻana ma ka pilina hose. I kēia manawa, hana pū ia me ka aerator e hoʻomaikaʻi i ke kahe ʻana o ka wai, e hoʻomālielie ana i ka puka ʻana o ka wai.

Hose Connector: Hōʻoiaʻiʻo ia i kahi pilina paʻa, pale i ka liki ʻana o ka wai, a hiki ke hoʻololi i ka huki ʻana mai nā kihi like ʻole, e hōʻoiaʻiʻo ana i ka maʻalahi a me ka paʻa i ka hoʻohana ʻana i kēlā me kēia lā.

Mea Hoʻokahe Kopa: Pale ka sila i ka wai kopa mai ka leaka ʻana, e hōʻoiaʻiʻo ana i ka hoʻopuka maʻalahi o ka wai kopa a mālama i ka hoʻohana maʻamau o ka mea hoʻokahe kopa.

Pū Pīpī ʻauʻau: Hōʻoia ka sila ʻaʻohe leaka i ka wā o ka pīpī wai kiʻekiʻe, e hōʻoiaʻiʻo ana i ka hopena pīpī paʻa a hoʻokō i nā koi hoʻomaʻemaʻe a me nā koi ʻē aʻe.

II. Nā Gaskets Sila Laho no nā Kānana: Hoʻonui i ka maikaʻi o ka wai o ka lumi ʻauʻau a me ka pale ʻana i nā lako

Nā ʻano

Kānana Ikaika: Uhi ia i nā kikoʻī e like me 60 mesh me ke anawaena uea o 0.18, 60 mesh me ke anawaena uea o 0.15, a me 40 mesh me ke anawaena uea o 0.19, e kāohi pono ana i nā haumia e like me ka sediment, ka popo, nā ʻāpana unahi, a me nā pepeke.

Kū'ē Maika'i i ka ʻAi ʻAi: Ma hope o ka hala ʻana i nā palapala hōʻoia wai inu o nā ʻāina he nui, hiki iā ia ke hoʻololi i nā ʻano wai like ʻole a ʻaʻole maʻalahi ka palaho ke hoʻopili ʻia me ka wai no ka manawa lōʻihi.

Hoʻololi maikaʻi: Me nā kikoʻī a me nā nui like ʻole, kūpono ia no ke kau ʻana a hiki ke hoʻololi ʻia i nā lako lumi ʻauʻau like ʻole.

Nā Hana a me nā Hiʻohiʻona ma nā Hale Lumi ʻauʻau

Lumi ʻauʻau o ka hale: Hoʻokomo ʻia ma nā faucets, nā poʻo ʻauʻau, nā puka wai lua, a me nā kānana hoʻokahe ʻauʻau, hoʻomaikaʻi ia i ka maʻemaʻe o ka wai i hoʻohana ʻia, pale i nā lako, a hoʻolōʻihi i kona ola lawelawe.

Ka Hoʻohana ʻana i ka Wai no ka Lumi Kuke: Hoʻohana ʻia ma nā paipu poho holoi lumi kuke, nā kānana mua o nā mea hoʻomaʻemaʻe wai, a me nā puka wai no ka mea holoi kīʻaha, hōʻoiaʻiʻo ia i ka maʻemaʻe o ka wai o ka lumi kuke a pale i nā lako uila.

Nā Hiʻohiʻona ʻē aʻe: ʻOiai ʻaʻole i loko o nā lumi ʻauʻau o ka hale, i loko o nā ʻōnaehana lumi ʻauʻau o nā wahi kalepa e like me nā hōkele a me nā hale ʻaina, a me nā pae hoʻomaʻamaʻa mua ʻoihana me nā koi kiʻekiʻe o ka wai (e like me ka hana ʻana i ka meaʻai a me ka mea inu, nā lāʻau lapaʻau, a me nā mea ʻē aʻe), hiki iā ia ke mālama i ka hana o nā lako hoʻohana wai a me nā kūlana maikaʻi o ka wai.

I ka hopena, ʻo nā ʻano gaskets like ʻole, ma muli o nā pono o kā lākou mau mea ponoʻī, e pāʻani i kahi kuleana koʻikoʻi i ke kahua o ka lumi ʻauʻau, mai ka sila ʻana, ka pale ʻana i ka wai, a me ka pale ʻana i ka leaka a hiki i ka hoʻonui ʻana i ka maikaʻi o ka wai a me ka pale ʻana i nā lako, e hana ana i kahi ʻike lumi ʻauʻau palekana, ʻoluʻolu, a paʻa hoʻi no nā mea hoʻohana.
