Resolution to replace the old water heater
Installation rules require a permit for the installation of a gas water heater from the respective municipal services, registration of fire, technical supervision and in the BTI.
Easier to get permission to replace the existing machine to a new one. This will not cause problems because:
- the installation site will be the same;
- performance of old and new water heater like;
- compliance with the use and safety of the new model has been certified.
The first step in obtaining a permit is a visit to the management company, which should provide a list of documents needed for the treatment in the following instances. It plans:

When permits are on hand, you can continue to installation. We'll have to invite experts of relevant services, so that it:
- sidebar performed in line;
- implemented a counter connection.
They must comply with the lining wall, selected by connection, non-combustible materials, paint tubes in yellow. But most likely it will have to do yourself.
Experts are invited after the completion of the settings for the device, and run counter sealing.
After completion of all installation work:
- pass device registration with firefighters and technical supervision, which will be given the act of acceptance into service the water heater;
- add the device in the BTI database and get a new plan of the apartment.
Dismantling of old equipment
Following the acquisition of a new flow-through heater, obtaining all permits should be to dismantle the old device. This will require:

Protochnik installed in place of the old heater. Then, hoses or PVC pipes connected to the water and checked for leaks. The next step is turned on in kazovuyu line and compound are coated with special grease. They are crimped for strength and smeared soap solution, which allows to evaluate compounds for leaks after activation. If bubbles do not, then the connection is reliable.
Optional equipment
During installation work extra equipment is placed as needed:
- before the heater on the cold water pipe is placed a strainer, which protects against dirt and rust;
- there is installed shut-off valve to turn off the system during maintenance or conservation;

In the house where there is no chimney, and there is no possibility to equip the hood through the ceiling, using the push-off machine, that comes with the heater. In any case, self-made exhaust duct is laid along the wall of the materials vderzhivayuschih an open flame or a heat-insulating lining.
Suspending column on fasteners
Column suspended on the attachment and screwed to it. If the mounting location was done correctly, the device will hang evenly. Suspended column flexible flexi hose connects to the chimney. One end is fixed to the column, on the other decorative outlet.
Connecting gas line
After fixing the heater and exhaust are connecting to the backbone. To this end:
- is inserted into the pipe tee;
- They give it the gas valve;
- from start assembling crane supply pipe to the column;
- it is fixed to the wall with the latch clip, and the compound of the appliance and fitting nut.
Water supply
Box-like manner is carried out in water:
- is fixed on the pipe tee and shut-off valve;
- it stretches from the feed tube, which is fixed on a wall-clip fasteners;
