Purchasing a water heater will provide the user with a constant supply of hot water. To achieve efficient operation, you need to correctly install and connect the instantaneous water heater to the mixer. In this case, it is necessary to take into account the power of the device, the readiness of the wiring, the number of sampling points. How to do all the work yourself, we will tell in the article.
Features of connecting a flow heater
There are stationary models that are mounted on the wall and provide several intake points with hot water: for example, a shower and a sink. Water instantly heats up and moves through the mixer. Consist of the case, the flowing heater.
Since the flowers do not have a storage tank, installation is carried out on any wall. Use screws or brackets.
It is advisable to locate the equipment near the fence point. So you reduce heat loss while moving the flow through the pipes.
There are compact models that are mounted on a faucet or are a nozzle. A heating element is built into them. Suitable for installation in the sink, for domestic purposes.
How to connect a water heater correctly
There are several connection schemes. Choose the one that suits your needs.
Temporary connection
Easiest assembly with no tools required. This method is used for temporary non-pressure installations. Devices will help you out during planned repairs of water supply, seasonal shutdowns. The non-pressure type is good in that it does not require pressure in the line to work. The main thing is to place the body above the fence point.
To be able to take a shower, unscrew the watering can from the shower hose and screw the hose onto the boiler inlet. If the thread does not fit, use an adapter. The water heater comes with a watering can. Connect it to the hot water inlet.
The manufacturer recommends using the original The holes in it are arranged in such a way as to provide good water pressure.
Turn the faucet to the shower position and wait 20-30 minutes for the water to fill the system. After that, turn on the device, set the desired value on the thermostat. Keep in mind: the outlet flow will not always be the same temperature. The technique performs heating by 20 degrees from the original.
permanent option
Prepare:
- wrench;
- pliers;
- fum tape;
- tap;
- tee.
Stages of stationary installation:
- Connect a tee with shut-off valve to the boiler inlet.
- A metal-plastic pipe or hose is connected to one of the outlets. The last option is less reliable.
- The other outlet is mounted on a cold pipe.
- When installing, hold the couplings with a wrench so that they do not come off.
- Optionally, you can insert a cleaning filter. It will soften the water and reduce the likelihood of scale deposits on the parts. How to choose a filter, read the previous post.
- Install a tap on the other exit if the intake point is in the kitchen, or a shower head.
A similar connection can be made using a tee of a washing machine. Connect a shut-off valve to one of the outlets so that the device can be turned off if necessary. Then install a hose or pipe with an inlet to the heater body. Use fum tape to seal connections.
We have described possible options for connecting a non-pressure type boiler. To install a powerful device, you will need to prepare thick-section wiring and a grounded socket. Watch the video on connecting the flow device to the mixer:
