How to install a radiator? Stages of operation
- To install the radiator with your own hands was performed qualitatively and correctly, you first need to know exactly what type of wiring the heating system has in the house. Recall that the layout can be two-pipe and one-pipe.
- The next step is the selection of the necessary parts. For a battery that is installed in a single-pipe heating, a bypass is required. This device, in the event of an accident or malfunction, allows you to disconnect only the battery, not blocking the entire heating system. Further, according to the scheme, functional and connecting elements are selected. To install the radiators yourself, you will need couplings, nipples, cranes and adapters. When choosing a crane, it is better to give preference to radiator ones, they are arranged more simply than spherical ones.
- Calculation of the location. When answering the question how to properly install radiators, it is necessary to know that pipes leading to instruments should be placed with a small slope, which is made towards the coolant. If the installation is done horizontally - air or steel will collect in steel or cast-iron batteries, this will lead to a decrease in the efficiency of the battery. It is necessary that the central axis of the battery coincides with the central axis of the window opening. A deviation of no more than 2 cm is possible.
- Marking is done.
- Select devices and supplies.

We connect the bypass with the valve, the support is needed for it only if the heating system is single-pipe.
If the connection is to a two-pipe circuit, the bypass is not required, only the drive with the valve connected to it is used for the connection.
