Professional repair and extraction of cracked internal threads in water pipes, angle valves, faucets, and other threaded connectors. Once a small leak or localized cracking occurs in the internal threads of a water pipe, it becomes difficult to repair, and in more severe cases, breakage may occur. Many opt for a complete reinstallation, which involves complex steps. Our company has specialized technicians who ensure the perfect restoration of your pipeline under the principle of no wall breaking, no tile removal, no pipe replacement, and no damage to the original pipeline.
First, prepare a thread extractor and a heat fusion tool. Heat the fusion tool, install the mold head, and insert it into the internal threads. When the seam between the internal threads and the elbow adhesive shows separation, slowly pull out the damaged threads inside the elbow. Change direction, prepare a new threaded head, connect one side, and after fusion, act quickly to promptly align and connect the upper and lower parts.
Internal thread breakage in water pipes is usually due to the following reasons:
1. Aging of internal threads: Prolonged use of internal threads can lead to aging, resulting in breakage.
2. Over-tightening of internal threads: Excessive tightness can cause the internal threads to break.
3. Loosening of internal threads: If the internal threads become loose, they may break.
1. Broken thread extraction: For broken angle valves, faucets, or other threaded connectors inside the water pipe elbow (within the wall socket), first prepare a broken thread extractor. Fix the extractor to the internal threads of the water pipe and gently turn it with a wrench to check for any loosening. If loose, it can be directly extracted.
2. Repair of cracked internal threads: First, shut off the main water supply to expose the internal threads. Insert the PPR internal thread repair mold head into the cracked internal threads, fix the other end to the heat fusion tool, and heat for about one minute. Check if the internal threads show signs of loosening. If loose, they can be directly extracted. Then, heat-fuse a PPR internal thread repair connector to complete the repair perfectly.
