Ahorcadas?

[cedros 781]

I'm trying to figure out a water distribution map in a fraccionamiento and the legend says "funcionan como tope estan ahorcadas". I can't quite make sense of this.

Cedros, IMHO it means, "These work as a slow-down; they are choked." Without seeing the original context, it appears to mean that whatever you are looking at is a bottleneck.

That makes more sense now. They are talking about valvulas. I was thinking something like to slow down hanging.
