Water supply

Do you need a reliable water tank at the cottage? One of the options is the EuroCube, it can be accumulated in it, and then used as needed. It is interesting in that it holds 1000 liters of water, it is compact and easy to install, as it is made of durable polymer. It will be necessary only to install a faucet for the eurocube with your own hands for draining. There is nothing difficult in this, except for some nuances, which we will talk about in the course of the article.

First, we will examine in detail the capacity itself - what is it, where it is used, what happens, and then we will deal with the installation of a suitable crane for the European tube. Our task is to help organize water supply at a country site.

What is EuroCube?

So called polymeric container, made in the form of a cube.

Due to the use of durable material, the product is widespread:

  • on construction sites;
  • on car washes;
  • in the petroleum and chemical industries;
  • in everyday life.

To protect the polymer structure, an external metal grid is used, and a pallet is installed below it, increasing the protection of the product. Due to this, EuroCube can compete with other more robust and expensive containers.

The weight of the finished structure is about 60 kg. The container has a neck with a lid for filling the fluid, a special valve can be used through which air is let in, everything depends on what needs to be transported in it.

The last but not the least detail is a drain flange or coupling ball valve with a diameter of approximately 30 mm. Capacity is classified as medium-tonnage containers.

Plastic valves and adapters for Eurocup

Standard

Although the EuroCube may be different in size, volume and materials used for its manufacture, the standards all exist:

Outer packaging Usually it is tough - steel crate and pan. The latter can be plastic or wooden, everything depends on the destination.
The form In the form of a cube.
Material ND polyethylene is used in high density, most often - PE 100.
Thickness The wall may have a thickness of 1.5-2 mm, depending on the size of its destination.
Colour Usually - natural white, although the instruction allows for staining in any.
Crane The ball is more reliable, it is possible to install a piston version, but it will serve much less in time.

By type Eurocubes are classified into:

  1. Food - used mainly for the storage of water and products (for example, oil, vinegar, ethyl alcohol).
  2. Technical - usually used for transportation and storage of acids, alkalis and fuel.

The price of the product depends on the manufacturer, as well as new or used. The difference can reach 7,000 rubles. Now we will deal with the cranes for the EuroCube and how to install them on it.

Coupling crane

  1. A type of ball valve that connects to a water tank using couplings that have internal cylindrical pipe threads. Also, the product may have an internal tapered thread.

  1. The valve is opened by turning the handle counterclockwise until it stops. Full opening occurs when the handle is installed parallel to it, it closes by turning the handle clockwise.
  2. Very often such a crane can be found in heating and water supply systems.
  3. Device Modifications:
    • economy version - single or monolithic;
    • often used design - two-part, which consists of a pipe coupling and housing;
    • repairable - threefold or folding (you can repair the crane yourself).

    Tip: when choosing, it is necessary to take into account the diameter of the adapter from the EuroCube so that it coincides with the internal diameter of the crane.

    Installation

    1. Clean the faucet before installation of sand and dust, the installation should be done only completely closing it.
    2. Prepare a linen thread for skeins on the thread or sanitary fum-tape.
    3. Wind the thread or tape over the thread, making sure that all the grooves are filled.
    4. If you use a thread, squeeze the sealant on it.
    5. Screw the tap on the adapter by hand. If everything is done correctly, it will turn almost two turns.
    6. Take the wrench and finish winding the faucet.

    Device characteristics - plus:

    • low cost;
    • small weight and dimensions;
    • long service life;
    • universality and reliability of the design;
    • does not require maintenance;
    • allowed to be mounted in any position;
    • tightly blocks the flow, and it can be done very quickly.

    Minus: long levers or expensive electric drives are required to close when using the device automatically.

    Tip: when assembling a clutch valve, care must be taken not to cause deformation of parts and product failure.

    Conclusion

    Eurocube is a plastic container of increased strength due to the use of a metal frame and a pallet. Use products in various spheres of our life.

    For ease of operation, a drain valve (coupling or flanged) is provided, which is most often connected through an adapter. The video in this article will provide an opportunity to find additional information on the above topic.
