Installation of radiators - step by step instructions

Installing and replacing the radiator - the work is simple, but requires care and accuracy.It is quite possible to perform with his own hands.

To accomplish this will require:

• Calculate the number of radiator sections for each premises, draw a plan for their accommodation;
• buy all the necessary materials: radiators, pipes and fittings;
• If you change the battery connected to the heating system, you must make a request in ZHREU trip riser;
• prepare the necessary tools: level, and adjustable gas keys, drill or a hammer, concrete drill, tape measure, and in the case of replacement of radiators and pipes also grinders - it is necessary to cut the old pipe.If the supply tubes are made of reinforced plastic, you will also need a soldering iron pipe.

battery installation technology consists of several stages.

Dismantling

old batteries When it comes to replacing the batteries, then this operation can not be avoided.After switching off employees ZHREU riser and drain the remaining water out of it you can begin to dismantle.Grinder with circle metal old pipes are cut at a distance of 10 cm from the ceiling and floor.On a piece of pipe cut external threads.To go to a plastic pipe fittings are used, you will need to take into account the diameters of the pipes.

Old batteries are removed from the brackets are removed and the brackets themselves, the wall, if necessary, leveled.

Layout

To maximize heat transfer, it is necessary to place new radiators properly.Batteries usually set under a window to create a thermal curtain.Distance to the sill should be at least 15 cm, to create a convective flow.For the same purpose, and is kept away from the floor of 15-20 cm, and the wall of about 5 cm. Measure the radiator.With roulette find the center of the window sill and, using a plumb line, draw a vertical line - this is the center of the radiator.The level draw a horizontal line at a distance of 15-20 cm from the window sill.This line will be positioned radiator top.Make markings for the brackets.

Select the type of connection

You need to choose the type of connection:

• Lateral one-sided when the coolant supply is attached to the upper pipe and drainage - to the bottom on the same side.This is the most common connection, it provides good heat, but is only suitable for radiators, consisting of no more than 12 sections.
• diagonal.If sections longer, it is best to use this type of connection.During his supply of hot water through the upper inlet and outlet - through the bottom, but on the other side of the battery.
• Bottom connection.Inlet and outlet are connected to the lower nozzles with different angles.This type of connection is selected for hidden piping.

Assembling radiators

If you purchased the heat sink assembly, you need to install them just plug and bleed screw - you need it to bleed air from the system.If the prefabricated radiators, you must first collect them, using the pads - they usually are included.On each radiator will need 4 plugs: 2 communicating to connect the pipes to the transition to the corresponding thread diameter, one blind and one communicating to connect the crane Majewski.The right-wing or left-wing stubs to choose - depends on the type of connection.

Also, you will need cranes "American", two on each radiator.Block them, you can remove the radiator for repair or replacement without shutting down the entire riser.All these elements are more convenient to install the radiator unit.When winding use tape FUM.

Installation

in the wall at the marked drill holes, screw the brackets to the desired depth.Radiators hang on the brackets, using the level.Measured all the distances, if necessary, corrected.

connect the new battery to the pipes.To continue to circulate water when removing the radiator, install a jumper between inlet and outlet coolant.It is also necessary to embed the tap - in a normal state, it will be closed, so that the water went through the radiator.

Trial tests

At this stage, you will need help from plumbers ZHREU.Turn off the taps "American" open the tap connection.Ask open return pipe fitters.If leaks in the joints of pipes with no open valves on the radiators and close the bypass valve.The coolant goes into the radiator.Bleed air through the valve Majewski.

After filling in all the batteries ask locksmiths open straight pipe.The system pressure is restored, the test is successfully completed, and new radiators filled with the warmth of your home.Also read how close the pipe in the bathroom, as well as about the heating circuit from Leningrad and a two-story home heating scheme.
