Water heater in a modern country house is not a luxury, but an essential element of comfort. Typically, supply line to suburban area does not have a constant and high pressure. Often the highway is not brought to the house and breaks at the site, providing only watering it. This complicates the installation work, especially if they are satisfied with their own hands. It requires no additional hardware.
The best choice for setting the country will be water heater having electric power. For ease of use flow can not compete with him. Is he:
The budget embodiment, the flow device has only one distribution point. Accumulative heater set harder than the flow, but this is offset by greater functionality. Less demanding of wiring allows you to select the device, which will enable the displacement:
- wash the dishes and wash;
- wash and take a shower or bath.
installation steps
To properly install the heater for installation work with their hands should be in a certain sequence. It includes the following steps:
- preliminary preparation;
- site selection, installation of fasteners and installation of the instrument;
- Connection to the water supply and check for leaks;
- Connection to the mains.
Preliminary preparation
Despite the relative ease of installation and the possibility of performing with his own hands, the installation of water heater in the country requires some training. It:
- preparation of the aqueduct, which, if necessary, must be brought to the point of placing the device;
- checking the electrical device on the ability to provide the required current capacity and its modernization in case of need;
- preparation needed for the installation of the tool sets and the list of materials.
Tools for mounting and set of materials
Install the device with your hands properly is not possible without placing a set of necessary working tools. In such a kit should include:
- drill with a hammer, drill bits and attachments;
- wire cutters and pliers;
- and adjustable wrench;
- and flat Phillips screwdriver;
- roulette.
Among the consumables should be on the number of anchor arms, tees, valves, pipes plastic, connecting hoses, belt fum or alternative materials for sealing compounds.
Additional storage tank
With no permanent water supply necessary for the smooth operation of the device you need to create a system of pressurized flow of water with their hands.
Scheme installation becomes difficult and costly, but effectively compensates for the absence of the central water supply line.
To fill the boiler is installed additional storage tank. This tank must be several times larger than the heater and a heater mounted above. The tank must be equipped with:
- a valve or orifice for discharge of excess pressure;
- a discharge pipe to prevent overflow;
- automatic float valve for filling the container;
- drain cock from the reservoir;
- valve on the outlet pipe for the water shut.
The tank is connected to the inlet of a boiler tube made of metal or other material. It is mounted:
- the stopcock, which overlaps the flow of water into the boiler;
- tee above its allotment to the cold water tap.
A place for the boiler and its installation
Choose the right place for the storage heater must comply with the requirements of the instructions, to ensure its stable position for a long time, the normal operation without heat loss, availability management and service. For this purpose, the device is placed:
- as close as possible to the point of distribution;
- on the supporting wall with sufficient strength;
- in a place where the control panel is available at your fingertips;
- so, tank, pipe bends of pipes, fittings, accessories were open for access at any time.
The primary fastening element on a concrete or brick surface is the anchor. Its dimensions are usually specified in the instructions. The number of fasteners is dependent on the number of cylinder brackets. Before installing the device:
- is performed counting attachment points;
- holes are drilled in the required quantity;
- set anchor.
mounting height is determined by the ease of use and size of the room.
With a weak wall need to strengthen it. Alternatively, the metal structure is mounted, able to ensure the stability of the water heater.
Water connection
In the presence of water main high-pressure circuit connecting the storage device in the country does not differ from the connection in the flat. But most setting circuit changes under particular suburban water supply where there is inflow of the water a predetermined capacitance. In this case, the connection occurs in the following sequence:
- closes all valves to the inlet;
- on the inlet pipe of the device is put relief valve for pressure relief;
- through boiler is connected to the pipe from the pressure vessel.
After connecting with your hands to check the tightness of all connections. For this purpose it is necessary to fill an additional water capacity:
- the tap hot water from the heater;
- open the taps and let the water in the boiler.
After the appearance of tap water to visually inspect all connections and ensure no leakage.
Inclusion in the grid
Accumulative heater does not require high-power current. Most models use up to 2 kW. Therefore, with the electrical power in 3 - 4 kW will be enough, and hence, the device can be switched through a conventional household power outlet. However, some measures should be observed precautions:
- before connecting the unit to be earthed via the terminal;
- outlet should not be used as a food source for other electrical appliances.
