How to install heating radiators correctly?
Sooner or later, even the most reliable radiators begin to leak. Especially if they are old and have been in the apartment since Soviet times. At the first opportunity, it is better to get rid of such systems and buy aluminum radiators that will serve you for more than a dozen years..
Otherwise, when you come home from work on a cold winter evening, you risk getting your feet wet in your own apartment or, even worse, flooding your neighbors from below and paying for repairs..
Features of mounting a radiator
Before changing the batteries in the room, it is necessary to shut off the riser and drain the water from it. Only then is it allowed to dismantle the system by unscrewing all the connecting nuts and carefully removing it from the mounts.
Modern aluminum and steel radiators have a slightly different shape than old-style sections. Therefore, their installation may require other fasteners than those already installed in the wall. In this case, you should replace them..
There must be at least three brackets holding the radiator. Make sure they are flush with the wall mount and the battery does not look skewed after mounting.
Install the sections without removing the protective film. Install an air outlet valve in one of the upper holes. Then you can connect the heating pipes.
An important point: for the most efficient use of the radiator, you need to connect it to the system in a diagonal pattern. Connect the pipes so that water flows in from the bottom on one side (for example, on the left) and exits from the top on the other (on the right). This will allow all sections to warm up to the limit and produce maximum heat transfer..
