Why Has Your Flexi Pipe Burst?
If you try installing a flex pipe, an emergency burst can occur. If you do it incorrectly, the flexi hose may be stretched or twisted, creating a weak point where water can flow.
The rubber Flexi tube often expands under a lot of pressure. While the stainless steel braid around the flexi pipe is supposed to prevent the rubber from expanding, excessive water pressure may cause the rubber pipe to bulge out. This can lead to the pipeline rupturing and flooding the area around it. And if the nuts around the connectors aren’t tightened properly, even a slight increase in the water pressure can cause leaks.
Alternatively, if the nuts are too tight, the seal may rupture. Plus, flexible water hoses in closed cabinets under sinks are at a higher risk of bursting because of constant exposure to moisture. If you store chemicals like chlorine in the same cabinet, they may remain in the air and convert into hydrochloric acid when exposed to moisture. This can corrode the stainless steel braiding on the Flexi, leading to a burst pipe .
