central nut 55

If you need to perform disassembly water heating tank, whose bottom heating element mounted large hex nut, as in the photo below, you will still be able to do quickly.

First disconnect the boiler from the power and water supply.Before you unscrew the hoses do not forget to shut off the cold water.After disconnecting you need to drain the water from the water heating tank that can be easily done on this video instructions:

When the water is removed, you need to disassemble the bottom cover of the heater body, which is usually mounted on the 2 screw.Under the hood you will find this big nut and a thermostat, which also must be removed by disconnecting the terminals suitable for him.Now that you've got easy access to the nut, take a pipe wrench №2 or the hub 55, both can be seen in the photo:

wriggle heater heater for self-repair is necessary counterclockwise.To make it easier to completely disassemble the storage heater with your hands, remove it from the wall and turn it upside down.When the nut is unscrewed, gently remove the heater shaking it slightly from side to side.

Since after draining the water from the tank may be left inside a small part of it, it is recommended when dismantling substitute a boiler bucket to flow out into it, rather than on the floor.And another tip - if the scale will prevent the extraction of the heating element, with solid non-metallic object, try a little hole to clear himself heater.

Oval flange

If you have a new water heater, its design will be different.TEN in this case can be removed by loosening the clamp.Features of dismantling the housing of this model lies in the fact that in any case it is impossible to disassemble the boiler, turning it upside down, as the "unfortunate master" in this video:

You can see that after the dismantling of the heating element down into the container, which is coated with enamel to not rust inside the tank.Of course, the metal hitting the metal can damage the heater and the heater and the inner coating, which can not be repaired by yourself.
