What happens to the water in the bottom drain pipe after winterizing an in-ground pool?
During prper winterization, the water in the bottom drain is usually "blown" out with compressed air. How this happens, is that a pipe with a schrader valve (the same type of valve on a ture intertube) is inserted into a pipe that is threaded into the pipe below the skimmer (with the leaf basket removed) An air compressor is then used to fill the tube with air. The air forces the water out of the entire pipe. Bubbles will come up from the drain when all of the water has been blown out of the pipe. The pressure of the air being in the pipe keeps the water from flowing back into the pipe. Hope this answers your question.
How does a sloan valve work?
A "Sloan Valve" is the well known valve used on (primarily) commercial toilets and urinals. Touching the chrome handle causes the toilet to flush, violently washing your troubles down the drain. What does that handle do and what makes the toilet flush with such great force? If you look closely, the pipe coming into the valve is much larger in diameter than an ordinary toilet's pipe. This is the secret to the Sloan Valve. The normal water pressure in the building pressurizes the big pipe and when the famous chrome handle is moved, the water in the big pipe is allowed to dump all at once into the toilet. When most of the water pressure in the big pipe is depleted the chrome handle resets and the water stops flowing. If the toilet had a small pipe like most other toilets, the large water volume would not be possible, and the high power flush that we have all grown to love would not be possible. So, the Sloan Valve is not the secret at all. It's the large pipe ahead of it that stores all the water and it's associated pressure. The Sloan Valve is just a large valve capable of releasing it all at once.
How do you change a mixing valve in a faucet?

What is the used of perforated pipe?
Perforated pipes are used in various applications such as drainage systems, agricultural irrigation, and groundwater recharge. The perforations in the pipe allow water to enter or exit the pipe, depending on the application. In a drainage system, for example, the perforated pipe helps to remove excess water from the soil and prevent waterlogging.

Is the PPR pipe used for potable water?
Yes, PPR pipe is ideal for installation in potable water pipe networks.
Does a leak in radiator valve cause low heat?
Hot water heat is typically a closed system, and the pressure gage is used to determine if the system is full of water. Loss of water in a closed system will create air gaps in the water flow, and the boiler is not capable of heating air. Low water level arriving back to the boiler will trigger the high-temp shut off switch, and the water will not become hot. Add water to the system and check the gage. To add water, open slightly the system drain valve (should be located in a pipe at the top of the system) and fill the system thru the inlet valve with a hose from a faucet until the spray from the open drain valve is solid. Close the drain valve system, and then close the inlet valve. Close the faucet valve and remove the hose.
What is the definition of spigot?
A device for controlling the flow of liquid, as from a pipe; tap
In what applications is a gate valve used?
A gate valve, or a sluice vault, is used when you want as little friction as possible when opening and/or closing a flow in a pipe. In the petroleum industry a knife valve is used to basically cut through the liquid.
