I 1921, owayesakuba yiNkumanda yomkhosi wasebukhosini uLumley Robinson wasungula isixhobo esilula esasiza ngokukhawuleza sibe sesona sixhobo sithenjwayo, sisetyenziswa ngokubanzi ehlabathini. Sithetha - kunjalo - malunga ne-hose clamp ethobekileyo. Ezi zixhobo zisetyenziswa ngabatywini, oomatshini, kunye neengcali zokuphucula ikhaya kwimisebenzi eyahlukeneyo, kodwa zinokuba luncedo ngakumbi kwiimeko ezingxamisekileyo zemibhobho yamanzi.

Xa umbhobho uqalisa ukuvuza ngesiquphe, kuya kufuneka usebenze ngokukhawuleza ukuba ufuna ukuthintela umonakalo omkhulu wamanzi. Kwaye kukho inani elikhawulezayo, ukulungiswa kwe-DIY onokuthi uthembele kuyo ukulungisa imibhobho eyaphukileyo kwikhaya lakho. Kodwa ngaphandle kwe-hose clamp kwibhokisi yakho yesixhobo, awuyi kukwazi ukuya kude kunenyathelo lokuqala: cima amanzi.

Oko kuthetha ukuba ufuna ukukwazi ukulungisa imibhobho yakho ngexesha likaxakeka, kuya kufuneka ukuba ube ne-hose clamps ezimbalwa xa ulungile. Kwaye ukuze ukhuseleke, kufuneka ube nayoi-hose clamps ehlengahlengiswayookanye iisayizi ezininzi ezahlukeneyo ze-hose clamp ngeenxa zonke ukuze ulungele nantoni na. Ke ungazisebenzisa njani iindidi ngeendidi zezibane zemibhobho ukugcina umbhobho ovuzayo? Ngenxa yokuba i-hose hose clamps eqhubekayo ibonelela macala onke e-hose okanye umbhobho, banokuqinisela ngokukhuselekileyo ama-patches endaweni. Kwaye ngelixa oku kungayi kutywina umbhobho ngonaphakade, kunokubonelela ngolungiso olukhawulezayo oludingayo ukuze ufumane amanzi akho kwaye asebenze kwakhona.

• Kwimingxuma emincinci kakhulu, bhinqa iteyiphu yombane kumbhobho ngokuphindaphindiweyo. Xa umngxuma uvalwe ngokucokisekileyo, i-hose clamps encinci inokuqinisekisa ukutywinwa (nangona okwethutyana).

• Ukuvuza okukhulu, khangela malunga neqhekeza lerabha eliza kuwugubungela umngxuma. Ubude obudala be-hose yegadi ingasetyenziselwa kwi-pinch. Sika ngokulula irabha okanye umbhobho ube sisiqwenga esibanzi ngokwaneleyo ukuvala ngokupheleleyo umngxuma, kwaye emva koko. Ngokufanelekileyo, isiqwenga kufuneka sandise i-intshi ezimbalwa kumacala omngxuma. Emva koko, sebenzisa i-hose clamp ehlengahlengiswayo ukuze uqinise i-patch endaweni.

Khumbula: Xa usebenzisa izibane zemibhobho ukunceda ukupeyishwa nokulungisa imibhobho evuzayo okanye eyaphukileyo, kuya kufuneka usoloko ufuna ukuwutshintsha umbhobho ekugqibeleni. Kodwa ngomsebenzi okhawulezayo nolula wokulungisa we-DIY, akukho nto iluncedo ngaphezu kwesibambiso setyhubhu esilungelelanisiweyo.
