As you can see, the installation of an electric convector on the wall does not represent anything complicated, even more so. However, there are several nuances that need to be considered when installing, which we describe below.

Some useful advices for

Sometimes it becomes necessary to install an electric convector on a balcony, the internal finish of which is represented by PVC panels. Since the weight of the electric convector can reach several kilograms, you should understand that the plastic can not withstand such a load. In this case, it is recommended to choose a compact size electric convector, for example, as a Nobo model in the photo below. Electric heater on the wall made of PVC panels

Another nuance is the correct placement of the convector. Usually the complete set with the purchase includes an instruction in which the manufacturer himself specifies the optimal distance from the floor, windows and other objects. If in your case there is no such information, perform the installation of the electric heater in accordance with the general rules:

  • height from the floor of 20 cm;
  • the clearance from the wall is 20 cm;
  • lateral distance to the nearest objects - 20 cm;
  • top and front clearance of at least half a meter;
  • outlet is not closer than 30 cm.

Special attention should be paid to connecting the electric convector to the network. As a rule, the power of the devices does not exceed 3 kW, so if you have modern electrical wiring in your house or apartment, safely connect the power from the outlet( they, as a rule, can withstand up to 3.5 kW).If you want to hide the cords and make a neat installation, you can even connect the convector directly to the mains without a plug and without an outlet. To do this, you will have to pull a separate cable from the junction box or even the flap( if you decide to make a separate line for heating).Cable cross-section in this case, select 2.5 mm2.
