How do I install a radiator own hands

Install radiator own hands has its own characteristics.Everything depends on what material the pipe made and what type of battery selected.We will look at the installation process, when components have been selected, and the number of sections is calculated by the necessary capacity of the system.

single-pipe heating system consists of a central line, parts of which are connected in series.The disadvantage of this connection is considered to be the inability to control power radiators without additional components (thermostats).The two-storey houses on the first floor is heated in such a system worse than the second.Two-pipe in this respect more effective.Radiators in it are connected in several ways:

  • Lateral one-way connection.Coolant supply pipe connected to the top and return line - to the bottom.If highway interchange: the top - down and bottom - up, heat transfer will decrease by about 7%.
  • Connection diagonally.Coolant supply pipe connected to the top with one hand, and the bottom (the return) - the lower the opposite.This connection allows the radiators with a large number of sections.
  • Bottom connection.The coolant supply is performed from one side to the bottom nozzle and the tank line - to the bottom of the other.This connection system has the least low heat dissipation, since the upper part of the radiator is not completely warmed.This wiring diagram is used in the lines laid under the floor.

Before installation or replacement batteries heating lines need to drain and close the stop valves.Install radiator under the window sill is recommended.To improve the heat transfer wall on which the battery is installed, it can be coated with a reflective material such as foil or cover special compound with similar properties.This setup radiator own hands eliminates fogging of windows and provides additional protection from the cold.

per meter of heating surface is used for mounting a bracket.Next, mark out their places of attachment.The radiator should fit "sit" on all installed supports.Next, connect the battery to the trunk of one of the circuits, connecting them with the ebbs thread.In one-pipe systems, installation of a radiator own hands is performed with the use of bypass - a special jumper with a smaller diameter, which is installed between the battery and return.The joints must be sealed components tow or a special sealing tape.To connect the pipe to the radiator can be used welding (at the junction of the pipe).

Proper installation of radiators includes adherence to recommended installation distances:

  • from the radiator to the floor should be 6-12 cm;
  • gap between the radiator and the wall - about 2-5 cm;
  • strict adherence to layout vertically and horizontally;
  • distance to the window sill - 10 cm.
