Before choosing any kind of boiler, it is worth analyzing the capacity of the tank, the conditions in which the equipment will be used, the appearance.

You can use the services of specialized companies to connect the heater.

Installation does not take much time, but it will cost a lot of money. The cost usually depends on the type of water heater.

For water heaters that are placed vertically and have a volume of 30-100 liters, you will need 2 anchor bolts.

If you want to install a horizontal aggregate, the volume of which is 50-100 liters, then you need to have 4 fastening elements.

The place where the boiler will be located must meet the following requirements:

• The water heater must be accessible during the entire period of its operation;
• The installation of the tank on the wall provides the ability to withstand a load equal to the double weight of the water heater;
• It is worth checking the wiring, it must withstand the operation of the water heater. If the wiring is old, it will need to be replaced;
• It is necessary to check the condition of the pipes in the room, the terminals for connecting the water heater must be created.

Installing a water heater

Flowing water heaters Termex, due to its size, can be installed above the sink, which significantly saves space in the room. The water is heated in a metal flask.

Due to the use of powerful heaters, it is worthwhile to make a separate automatic machine for a flow-through boiler.

Thus, the general wiring in the house, the apartment will always be serviceable and not depend on the inclusion of the unit.

The installation of the water heater can be temporary or stationary. In the first case, a water pipe with cold water is connected to a tee, and then it is combined with a water heater.

Stationary installation scheme involves the creation of a parallel system of water intake and supply of liquid.

Tees must be inserted separately for cold and hot water. T-pieces are fitted with stopcocks.

The inlet of the flow-through boiler must be connected to a water pipe with cold water.

The outlet connection is connected to the tap, through which already heated water is supplied.

Tightness of the system is checked without fail at a temporary, stationary connection.

To do this, you must turn on the tap at the same time with hot water in the shower, in the bathroom, in the kitchen. If there are no leaks, then you can turn on electricity.

Thermex storage water heaters do not impose requirements such as flowing water heaters.

Installation and connection requires the use of a circuit in which water can be supplied simultaneously to the tap, shower.

Installation of this type of boiler with your own hands is simple, if you have the necessary tools. The wall is marked with a marking, where the water heater will be located.

The fastening elements are installed in the marked places.

After attaching the tank to the wall, it will be necessary to connect the water, install a safety valve.

When connecting the water pipe, it is worthwhile to check that the valve is closed. After the installation of the entire system has been completed, the operation of the Thermex water heater is checked.
