πŸ’‘ Remnants of plastic pipes in the business: how to assemble the tumble dryer on the battery

Remains of reinforced plastic and polypropylene pipes should never be thrown away. They can be useful not only for maintenance but also for the many useful home appliances. Of these, you can even pick up some furniture, but the simplest and most always right - is a compact dryer or shoes, which can be conveniently placed on the radiator. How to do it - show YouTube-channel author TEXaS TVLet's examine the technology and try to use it in practice.

What is useful for compact dryer assembly

Begin by determining which tubes useful for better assembly structure: polypropylene or metal and plastic. There are two powerful arguments. The first - the construction rigidity. In this regard, polypropylene pipes do not have competition, and metal and plastic still bend under mechanical stress. Although, if you talk from a practical point of view, to bend a small segment of metal and plastic, no wet clothes or shoes will not. A length of the tube, you will have to put the batteries - a maximum of 80 cm.

The second criterion for selection - ease of assembly. Here in this matter metalloplastik wins polypropylene pipes. Fittings for such pipes have threaded connections and mounting structure need only wrench. But plastic pipes are joined by soldering, but it is not so easy, after all have to find a special device. However, even here there is an argument in favor of the second option: you dryer tightness is not required, therefore, in principle, to connect sections of pipe tees and corners can be with a conventional gas burner. Will not so neat, but quite acceptable.

And that's what you absolutely can not worry - it's about the contact tubes and batteries. Modern plastic tubes are made from materials resistant to heat.

How to prepare: measurements and details

Folk wisdom says that it is better to measure seven times and cut one. This is quite true in this case.

To assemble the dryer, you need the pieces of pipes of length equal to the width of your radiator and bends and corners to join them

And here is how the welding machine soldering polypropylene pipes. You can borrow it from friends, but to confidently use such a device, it requires a certain skill

Do not forget, before you cut the pipe, carefully measure your radiator, as the remake will then be very difficult

To combine the connection ends of the tube and inserted into the opposite corner of the hole welding machine is literally a couple of seconds. It becomes soft and plastic, after the compound hardens as a monolith

dryer assembly of simple parts

Thus, the dryer will consist of crosspieces equal radiator width and side clamps, which will keep the cross at a certain distance from each other.

Here is the side locks. They consist of T-pieces, corners and small pieces of pipe, in order to survive the distance. At one end the latch is installed and corner piece of pipe at an angle of 90ΒΊ. This part will be refueled between the radiator and the wall to secure the dryer in position

For complete assembly design can only insert long stretches of the side tabs

The entire structure is assembled. It is simple, compact and easy to use. It can be the right moment to put on and remove the radiator when it is not needed

The advantages of this dryer is that it is easy, absolutely not afraid of water, it does not take up a lot of storage space, does not sag and does not get dirty. If you urgently need to dry a couple of diapers and a towel after taking a bath - the best device you can imagine

How can I use the dryer of plastic pipes

such dryers you can make a few and use them in any room where there are radiators.

The dryer can be safely used in the kitchen for drying kitchen towels, pot holders. If you put on the cross a metal tray, you can even dry fruits or vegetables, cut into thin slices

Such a device is useful also in the bathroom for a quick drying clothes and towels. It is certainly not enough to dry all the clothes after washing, but in case of emergencies it is come down

Finally, this type of show itself perfectly in the corridor, where it is necessary to dry wet shoes after the walk. Just flip her soles up, the warm air from the radiator quickly warms the inside shoes

Everything that you put on the oven, will not be in direct contact with the heat sink, and so on underwear and shoes are not formed spots and markings. A major advantage of this dryer is that it is not difficult to make your own hands literally from the remnants of material after repair.

But another type of construction, no less effective than the one we have considered:
