Connection diagram for a heated towel rail to a hot water riser

Since in modern conditions it is rare to find heating in the bathroom, you have to install the dryer yourself or ask plumbers. However, in any case, you need to know the correct installation procedure for personal safety and reliability.

What you need to know to connect a heated towel rail to a hot water riser

First you need to study all possible types of design. There are only four main ones:

• Snake. It is a classic model, which behaves quite simply during installation and does not pose any problems.
• Ladder. Unlike the previous one, he considers it a more modern option. Used for different types of connections. But it doesn’t fit all conditions.
• U- or U-shaped. Standard and normal look. It is in significant demand due to its high availability.
• Complex shape.It can perform not only a heating function, but also act as a decor for creating a bathtub interior. However, everything will be so good if the connection is carried out correctly. Otherwise, circulation may not be ensured.

IMPORTANT! In addition, it is better to buy a design from a domestic manufacturer, and so that it complies with GOST standards. Also, you cannot use parts made of different materials, and if the pipe diameters are different, adapters must be used. Do not forget about reducing the power by about 10% if the pipes are connected from below to the system.

Possible options for connecting a heated towel rail to heating

Of course, there are different types of introductions. The article examines each of them separately.

Bottom connection

It is believed to have less effective actions. But still a standard and universal option that will last for a long time in any direction of supply in the riser. The principle of operation is very simple - hot water enters from one side and comes out from the other. To ensure that performance does not underestimate optimal performance, you should:

1. Install Mayevsky taps so that they are on the upper terminals. This is necessary to release air that usually accumulates in the upper part.
2. Observe the direction of the supply pipes (proportions of approximately 4 mm per meter).
3. Buy the bypass narrowed and straight. And make sure that nothing blocks it, otherwise it will slow down the circulation and worsen the water pressure.
4. It is better to keep the room in which the device is located in isolation.

Bottom connection with top water supply

Despite the fact that the supply occurs from above, the riser outlet must still be located below the upper border of the heated towel rail.Because in other cases it will not turn on at all. However, if you remember the condition that the connection must be located above the outlet, the unit will need to be lifted, so to speak, to the ceiling.

REFERENCE! It is forbidden to create a “hump” or “loop” on the eyeliner from above. Because of this, the circulation will definitely stop working.

Side connection

The good thing is that all three standard forms can be used. And if you take a “ladder”, then you just need to install plugs and no drains will be needed. With this method, a narrowed bypass is required. The bends, in turn, must be located definitely in a horizontal straight line. The device will work if they are from the top feed. If all recommendations are followed, then stability is guaranteed. There is also an acceptable, but undesirable scheme in which Mayevsky cranes will be required. In this case, the air vents are below the edge of the dryer, so the user must periodically remove the air mass during the process.

Diagonal connection

In principle, in terms of efficiency it is no different from the previous version, however, you need to spend more on consumables, since the pipes themselves are large. Water comes from one upper side, and is drained diagonally from below. Moreover, the bypass should not be narrowed and unbiased. In this design, the connector operates with the farthest one, while the last one is connected to the closest one. It is worth remembering that the chances of a successful launch are less than for everyone else, because the resistance of the PS increases.

Is shape important?

The type of connection of the device will depend on this characteristic, so it is considered to be a more or less important aspect.

ATTENTION! This can only be done if the system is turned off. Therefore, first you should contact the Housing Office with a request to turn off the riser. You will be given a date for the technician to arrive. And after that you can begin the process.

Develop a plan and materials that will be useful to you. Read the instructions, which contain an individual approach. Despite this, there is a general phasing.

• Reproduction of dismantling a real dryer.
• Connection of pipes and equipment.
• Installation of taps.
• Jumper installation.

At the end of the work, you should remove all accumulated debris and check the capabilities of the updated device.

REFERENCE! During installation, it is advisable to adhere to a certain distance between the surface and the pipes. For example, it can be 3.5 meters if the diameter is less than 25 centimeters.

It is best to install a universal side connection. However, you will have to use a grinder for dismantling. First, carry out the same machinations as usual - disconnect from the network and drain the water from the riser. It is advisable to start the installation itself with the installation of a bypass. Block the movement of liquid with one valve, and use the other two to secure the mounting location of the unit. After the step-by-step instructions that are included with the design, you can open the pressure and taps.

In such a situation, you will have to take into account some features. The working pressure is 8 atm, however, it can experience up to 16 atm. For improved heating, there is a Mayevsky tap, then the air will leave the system.Installation occurs thanks to special bushings. They are mounted on the wall. When attaching the legs to the bushings, screws are used to securely fix the device.

Basic connection mistakes and how to avoid them

No one is immune from mistakes, that's normal. However, to reduce their number, consider the following recommendations:

• Air pockets may form due to incorrect placement. To avoid this, the dryer should be placed horizontally.
• Most often there is a risk of leakage, to avoid this, replace the old one with a new product.
• Still, if you do not have special knowledge and skills, contact a specialist so as not to try your luck in vain.

Now you can easily connect the heated towel rail with your own hands.
