Equipping the toilet room in the apartment, we always take care of its beautiful appearance. But design is of secondary importance, since a competent choice of sanitary equipment is much more important. A siphon belongs to such equipment. In this article, we will consider a variety of devices, such as a siphon with a rupture of the jet, and find out what it is needed for.
How does a siphon with a rupture flow?
Siphon is a device that provides draining of sewage from the sink and toilet bowl into the sewage system. Besides this, the main function, the siphon thanks to the hydraulic seal does not give unpleasant smells and microorganisms living in the sewer pipes, to penetrate into the house.
The length of the rupture of the jet is usually about 2-3 mm. For microbes, this constitutes an insurmountable barrier, and at the same time the silence in the toilet room is not disturbed by the sound of falling water, inevitable in case of a larger rupture. Also a siphon with a rupture function is equipped with one or more funnels for bringing the required number of pipes. This need sometimes arises in rooms where it is necessary to separate household and industrial wastewater, or simply make the sewer system more rational. Usually such work is entrusted to specialists.
A siphon with an air gap must be present in the food shops, in the kitchen of any catering establishment and other places of mass gathering, because it is considered more hygienic than the usual siphon model without a break. This situation is regulated even by the norms of sanitary-epidemiological
In addition to the wash basin itself or the kitchen sink, the siphon with a rupture of the jet can be successfully used for other devices, for example, air conditioning or boiler. In the first case, this is necessary to drain the condensate from the cooling system, which is usually discharged through the outer wall through a plastic tube, and this is not always convenient. As for the boiler, its safe operation must be accompanied by the release of water from the safety valve, and this, in turn, creates certain problems - it is necessary to constantly wipe the water dripping from the hose or to fit for this some capacity, disrupting the design of the bathroom. Using a siphon with a water break for this purpose, you "kill two birds with one stone" - take care of both the practical side of the matter and the aesthetic.
