Laying for Kohler tank... It sounds simple, but in practice this often causes a headache. Many order the cheapest, hoping for a quick decision, and then after a couple of months you have to return and redo it. In general, it seems that in this area there is nothing complicated - laying, tank, we twist. Bet jēga ir materiālu, spiediena, temperatūras saderība ... Es daudzus gadus daru stiprinājumu un komponentu piegādi, un es varu teikt, ka praktiski nav risinājumu. You need to approach the choice wisely. This text is rather a set of observations and experience than a strict instruction. It is based on real orders and problems that our clients faced.
The first thing that catches your eye is a huge number of different gaskets in the market. They differ in material (rubber, fluoroplast, Teflon), in shape, thickness. Cheap options are often made of low -quality rubber, which is quickly deformed under pressure and water temperature. This leads to leaks and, as a result, to damage to the tank. I remember one case: the client ordered the gasket on the Kohler tank from a durable rubber for a penny. Six months later, the tank flowed like a shot. I had to change all the details. Tagad es vienmēr iesaku izvēlēties blīves, kas izgatavotas no karstuma izturīgā fluoroplasta - tas, protams, ir dārgāks, taču ilgtermiņā tas ir ticamāks. And when choosing, you must definitely focus on a specific tank model. Different models can require gaskets with different parameters.
The second important point is the compatibility of materials. Kohler tank is usually made of steel or enameled steel. The use of unsuitable material for laying can lead to corrosion. For example, you can not use rubber with a high sulfur content in contact with steel, as this can cause metal corrosion and rubber degradation. Fluoroplasts parasti pieļauj kontaktus ar metālu un ūdeni, bet tomēr labāk ir noskaidrot tvertnes ieteikumus par materiāliem.
In practice, there are often problems with the wrong laying size. Even if you have chosen the right material, if the gasket is too small or too large, it will not provide a reliable seal. Therefore, before ordering, be sure to measure the internal diameter of the tank and carefully compare it with the size of the gasket. Otherwise - a guarantee of leaks. Sometimes adjusting the gasket helps, but this is not always possible and not always reliable.
Another common problem is the deformation of the laying during installation. Nepareiza uzstādīšana, pārāk spēcīga nepiemērotu instrumentu savilkšana vai izmantošana var izraisīt blīvi deformāciju un samazināt tās blīvēšanas īpašības. This is especially true for rubber gaskets that easily lose their shape under the influence of pressure.
If the tank is installed in conditions of high pressure or temperature, then the choice of laying becomes even more important. In such cases, it is recommended to use gaskets made of special fluoroplast with increased heat resistance and chemical resistance. Some manufacturers offer gaskets from PTFE (polytetraftorelene), which withstand temperatures up to 260 degrees Celsius. This, of course, is more expensive, but it may be the only way to ensure a reliable seal.
I remember one order for the Kohler tank for industrial use, where the pressure and temperature were much higher than that of household tanks. We recommended using the gasket from PTFE and additionally process the thread with an anti -corrosion composition. After that, the tank served without a single problem for more than five years. This is a good example of how the right choice of laying can significantly increase the service life of the equipment.
The choice of a supplier is also an important point. There are many unscrupulous sellers on the market who offer fakes or low -quality gaskets. I recommend contacting trusted suppliers who have experience with Kohler products and offer a guarantee for their products. KompānijaHandan Zitai Faster ManuFacturing Co., Ltd.(https://www.zitaifastens.com) is one of the reliable suppliers of fasteners and components for household appliances, including for Kohler tanks. They have a wide range of gaskets from different materials, and they are always ready to advise on choosing the best option.
In addition, they have very convenient logistics, especially if you order a large batch. They work with different transport companies and offer various delivery methods. And most importantly - their prices are competitive. In general, if you need high -qualityLaying for Kohler tankI recommend paying attention to their proposals. They really know their job.
Before installing the gasket, make sure that the surface of the tank and lid is clean and dry. Do not use a hammer or other percussion tools for tightening threads. Tighten the thread evenly, without pulling, so as not to deform the gasket.
If, after installing the gasket, the tank still proceeds, then most likely you have chosen the inappropriate material or the wrong size. In this case, try to replace the gasket with another, following the above recommendations. If the problem is not eliminated, then, perhaps, it is necessary to contact a specialist.
