A hidden way to lay water pipes in the house

For laying a hidden pipeline, pipes made of copper, polypropylene, and metal-plastic are suitable.
The hidden method of laying water supply pipes is the most preferable for a private house. This method saves usable space, and it is more aesthetic in terms of interior perception.
They hide pipes in drywall or gouge the walls and place pipes in the formed channels. Channels with pipes are sealed with cladding material.

The walls shall be carved considering that the piping shall not fit tightly to the surfaces of the duct, leaving a small gap for possible repair.
However, in the event of damage or leaks, the problem is not immediately detected and can lead to flooding of the room.
It is recommended that you plan and plot the piping in your home in advance.

Before starting work, you must familiarize yourself with the requirements for laying hidden communications:
- It is prohibited to slash load-bearing walls due to a decrease in the strength and stability of the entire structure.
- It is forbidden to lay pipes in channels using collapsible joints; instead of collapsible joints, one-piece joints must be used, such as joints by soldering or welding.
- During chipping, electrical wires in the house must be de-energized.
- Wall slitting must be performed considering the diameter of the pipes during their thermal expansion.
- The pipeline to be laid must not meet the channel walls; this may cause extraneous sounds during the operation of the pipeline.
- When laying horizontal pipelines, it is necessary to maintain a slope of up to 0.5 degrees towards the inlet; this is necessary to drain water from the pipes when the pipeline is turned off for repair.

Tool, with the help of which the walls are channeled:
- Hammer and chisel - for chipping a wall made of soft material.
- Power drill with a nozzle in the form of a construction blade.
- Angle grinder.
- Special wall chaser.
Stages of installation of hidden pipeline laying
- Drawing up a pipe layout design.
- Drawing of markings on the walls using a marker or laser level (two lines are applied to the wall, corresponding to the width of the channel).
- Slitting the walls of the required depth by the diameter of the pipes.
- Cleaning and aligning the canal.
- Marking and cutting of pipes according to the scheme.
- Installation of pipe fixing clamps.
- The beginning of the installation of water supply pipes must be carried out from the standpipe.
- Laying of the pipeline.
- Testing the system before sealing the channel.
- Sealing the canal with building materials.

Do not forget to install plugs from garbage ingress on the mounted pipes.
