How to check if the galvanized shower pipe is clogged?
Did you pass the tape? if you did not do it and move it a little inside the pipe, then open the shower without the flower and see if dirt comes out. DON'T BE VAGO ... GIVE IT AND COMMENT THAT IT CAME OUT.
The water passes through a crack, so that: water comes out does not mean that it is not clogged or semi clogged. Putting the tape, making it turn and raise and lower it will take off some tartar. But I broke and put new. Regards
And so? How we do? take an x-ray to the wall !! I don't understand ... I swear I don't understand. Ready theme finished for me. Greetings and luck.
for Ricardo don't hurry, I already understood you
I am going to do what is below in the post said servimat:
"Cut the water, remove the stems so that the cane is emptied, place the stems again and fill the cane with vinegar by the shower. You can do it by placing an MH elbow of ½" facing up. Leave all night on and the next morning open both waters to the fullest. This will expel any remaining tartar that exists. "
Look, I'm going to explain one thing to you: Galvanized pipes are on the outside, that's why they bite from the inside, if you loosen that tartar a lot you will most likely have moisture in the wall. the remedy ends up being worse than the disease. A chopped galvanized pipe is insurmountable, it can be improved for a while depending on how it is .... but I would think about its replacement. Luck.
Hi Ricardo, in the end I changed the cane for one of thermofusion, the rain on the flower improved a lot, but
still not turn on the heater completely
servimat tells me that it would be good to change the whole pipe
But what part of the pipe? The one that goes down from the tank to the water heater? The other faucets light the heater well, just
the one in the shower doesn't make it
Before changing any pipes I would make sure that the serpentine is well and really clean, then I would cut the gas, disassemble the diaphragm with the gas valve included, I would lubricate the needle well with their respective o'rings, and I would make sure that its operation is good soft. Then I would try again. Regards.
Pd: what do you think if you are closing some issues that have already been solved?
Of course servimat is what I have been told, the flower has already changed, that is not the problem
I consulted you rather
"If there is a method to check if the galvanized pipe is clogged" is there?
I'm not sure if the pipe had been placed in 1987 or if it was already built
the house in 1950
Regards
hello: if the game has transfer take it out and check it is rare that the shower vaston is clogged, you can blow the pipes with a compressor greetings
hi mariotti
It has a Piazza mixer with hot and cold water, I picked it up and I have pottery there now
Do you say it's weird that the shower stick is covered? ., but the cane that comes out of the wall is not the problem is new
the problem would be the galvanized pipe embedded in the wall where the water rises to the flower
Cut the water, remove the stems so that the cane is emptied, place the stems again and fill the cane with vinegar by the shower. You can do it by placing an MH elbow of ½ "facing up. Leave on overnight and open both waters to the fullest the next morning. This will expel any remaining tartar that exists.
Hello Coldd, do what the friend Servimat suggests, with vinegar you have to improve and loosen it, I do it professionally with the recirculating pump in an hour is perfect, do not use acid because you can sweep material from the pipe, the vinegar only attacks the tartar, regards!
hello heating, I understand I will do what servimat said
here they sell a bronze arm for the flower that ridiculously bears fine thread and loosens very easily
hehe, I glued it to the elbow of the cane, it was very firm, so that it threads threads of epoxy pipes for gas, lithortigio (that yellow powder) + the liquid,
I just wanted to make sure before I took my arm off the cane
Did you see how it is?
anything happens for example in windows and they already advise you to format it and sometimes
it's a simplicity to fix the problem
Regards
yes heating, we were already on the topic of that recirculating pump
I already assembled the system in the water heater, it would be used with a peripheral pump
I have not put this job into practice yet.
Here is a photo of the TEE that I added to the water heater:

hello servimat
I was busy on an issue on the sidewalk
I clarify that the shower mixer had not only taken its beak years ago
but also the middle mixed handle, leaving only the handle of the middle
cold water and hot water
If I cut the water, I take out a single stem, won't it be enough to empty the cane?
servimat,
I have removed the hot water rod from the shower without cutting off the water
and by the rod the water comes out with everything, and turns on the heater perfectly
Look, I've been told that tartar once formed in galvanized pipes
it doesn't come out anymore, is this true?
Either it is the cane that is somewhat clogged or there is a problem with the mixer
what do you think?
regards
and then if little water continues to come out, you have to change the mixer
I had already commented once the service that could have a problem with mixing, but another question
and it was that little water came out sometimes, so I had done it, I was to take out the beak, then seal the selector tap
for the peak or for the shower, leaving only the cold water tap and the hot water tap
I had solved that problem well enough
It's a Piazza mixer, it's old, they put it in 1977, it's bronze
If I have to change 1st I have to break ceramic and 2nd
if the water comes out of the shower
here the photo:
But without the help of opening another tap, the water heater does not start at all, sometimes it does not start
As you will see water comes out but not enough
What do you think

hello servimat
I took 4 ceramics
Here picture of the stuffed cane something old man, right? https://ibb.co/dRTPFK
How do you advise me to remove it from inside the wall and then unscrew it from the mixer?
Regards
hee hee, servimat 2 pesos? less than 50 pesos or start talking, besides here nobody does that
Here I send you the photo of a heat pipe that I heated with a gun a little and I made a thread by curling the pipe inside an epoxy elbow look: what's wrong with this thread if you screw it into an elbow of those reddish? https://ibb.co/jXCyQK
here is the pipe that is left, they are about 25 cm long and the green arrow is pointing to the board
https://ibb.co/nycwEe
hello servimat
heh, you sent me the gun 2 or 3 times, but in the end what solves the problem is the torch
With 1 minute of fire, I then called an acquaintance who works with gas and tomorrow said he came with the little bottle.
Maybe half joke told me but that the gun is used to spend light.
and the WD-40 to remove screws.
By the way I tell you how I saw the mouth open on the piece of pipe that is still on the board
It's hollow with nothing stuck inside at least in that little space I saw
Regards
I moved hydro3 to my little house thread in the green pipe je je
and when I get the spout my acquaintance, the green spout would already be with the thread
ready to screw it in the mixer.
In the case that the same small amount of water continues to flow out of the shower
What would be the next step?
If I served this morning, I was looking in the open market, a mixer without transfer, there was a B2P Newport Plus PV
The arm, the flower of shower and the bells are of chromed ABS so it is a matter of changing only these of ABS for some of bronze
The price is 2000 pesos, it is in price, maybe the 2 bells of my Piazza are in the VF rod, right?
Both are PV so they are of good quality. What varies a bit is the amount of liters / minute they let in. For example, to make the Arizona FV cheaper, it did not lower its quality but it comes without the broad curve of the mixer (for the low tap) and the mixer is not with a stem but with a transfer to a plug but it works very well.
hello servimat me to a game in the laundry that had the flyers and bells of
plastic I sent them to the trash
and in replacement I put 2 pieces of brass spout for the 2 bells
and for the flyers 2 square bars
It can be purchased by measure in houses selling metal
You will really save some pesos
Very nice square bars for steering wheel.
And in a new bathtub I did the same
That's not a problem
-------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------
* The boy with the torch has been in bed since yesterday so he didn't come
hello servimat
They just answered me about PV that I asked them about some model with more flow than the Newport Plus and they replied that the flow is the same for both models, because they have the same heads.
That was because I mentioned the Arizona, According to them the Arizona Plus and the Newport Plus have the same flow.
The gasista I know is still sick. regards
servimat, good day, the seller of the Flagas Brogas tells me that it can be used in any way
and it turns on manually
Look, there are some flamblers that don't work, yesterday a hardware store had one that didn't want to sell me
because it doesn't work, of course he's an acquaintance of mine from years ago.
and those of PV told me that all their models are for 1/2 and that if I wanted more flow
of water in the shower place 2 3/4 stopcocks.
but they didn't tell me where to put it, so I guess they don't know that I already have
An installation made.
The gasist I know today will surely come
hello servimat
The thing is like that, the gas came out the rusty pipe
I passed a wire from the hole of the mixer that goes to the shower to the hot water rod
When you open the hot water letting it out through the hole of the mixer that goes the shower, the heater turns on perfectly
but when I screwed his cane I already have the problem again, the water heater just turns on
Is it the pressure?
I comment that the water tank is at the recommended height
what is there to do?
I just put the flower in the green pipe and I notice that it comes out much better than before the rain, it comes out even and complete but ,,,,,,, ???? this water lacks pressure to turn on the water heater completely, everything seems to indicate that it is the pressure what do you think?
servimat, I never said it was good before.
as long as I remember for many years
(before 2000 there was a hot water tank) always in the shower the water was half loose
Now with the green pipe that I put the shower rain comes out quite well for the flower
When you decide to change the entire pipe
Do you mean change the pipe that goes from the water tank to the entrance of the water heater?
Hi servimat, I sent you the photos, you've seen the place. Being here you won't be able to get inside the pipes either hehe
Here 2 photos where on the terrace with red arrow I indicate where the water pipe has in elbow to go down to the water heater and
in the other photo I show the route of this descent that as you will see there are 2 other 2 elbows
