Value for money
The modern market of installation systems, piping and valves is so large that sometimes it is even difficult for the consumer to make their choice - which of the manufacturers to prefer, from whom to purchase the goods and be calm, that this is exactly what is needed at the moment. But alas, showing statistics
It means that the level of purchased products is very often limited by price and, of course, with appropriate price quality. The pursuit of Chinese cheapness is pushing quality products out of the market, making them unnecessary. Although logic should say the opposite: the pursuit of cheapness bypassing quality is the way to nowhere. When will we see that does the consumer take a step towards quality, despite the corresponding price? A quality product should be more expensive and only for a quality product the future of modern planning, design and construction.
How to choose a quality stand?
It is not difficult to consider a simple example. Pipe fittings include products such as fire hydrant stands. They are made in a small assortment: a walk-through stand, a tee stand of different diameters and for different hydrants. Products are not very complex in design, but very necessary. This is from the case when the spool is small and expensive.They are installed in wells deep underground and for many years. The life of this product should be calculated in decades. And in order not to cause yourself an unforeseen headache, choosing a stand you need a lot to pay attention to:
First of all, on the quality of painting. It (painting) must be high temperature and powder. After all, only high-quality painting will save the product from corrosion, because it will be in the well underground.
Great attention must be paid to the quality of the welds. A bad seam will leak in a very short time and the entire product will be replaced. It should be noted that the work on this replacement will cost much more than the product itself.
Do not ignore the quality of the flanges. Currently, whole discussions are devoted to the quality of flanges; many articles and analyzes have been written. Due to the high cost of production, flanges of good quality are practically not manufactured in the country.And cast and stamped flanges imported from China are far from GOST. The list of violations can be very large - from a thickness up to two times reduced and ending with voids in the casting of the metal itself. Is it not more reliable to buy a stand for a fire hydrant with a flange made by a domestic turner in compliance with all standards?
Pay attention to the thickness of the case. This is the parameter on which enterprising businessmen make easy money, as they say from scratch. Making the case is twice as thinner as the serious money is saved in accordance with GOST, and the buyer then sheds tears over the stand, which had leaky ahead of time, and reproaches himself for succumbing to the sugary entreaties of an unscrupulous supplier and the exorbitant cheapness of the product.
