Reply to comment by Sariel007 in Water pipe robots could stop billions of litres leaking by Sariel007
The robots are good but we have multiple ways to test for leaks. We use smart hydrants which track transients in the pipe. So if something bursts you can find out right away.
You might think “well you would know because water would be coming out of the ground” but that’s not necessarily true. It can take days, or just not show up at all. But the treatment plant can tell us (the city) our usage is high and we should be on the lookout for a break.
We can also use listening devices. Leaks have a distinct sound so you can put a device onto a water valve or hydrant and listen to the main for hissing.

I think you need to specify what you're hanging. If it's meant to be hung and it's that heavy, it should come with instructions. If it doesn't, it probably shouldn't be hung.
