Have you already decided on the choice of a device for heating water? The purchase has already been made, there is very little left: connect the device to the water supply system. This is not always easy to do. Every man who is used to doing housework himself knows how to connect an instantaneous water heater. But in some situations it is desirable to call a specialist. For example, if there are plastic pipes in the house, then installation should be carried out using a special method of cold welding - soldering. Let's see the instructions on how to install an instantaneous water heater.
Connecting to a water utility
Before proceeding with the installation of the water heater, it is necessary to make a connection to the power source. There are two types of water heaters: electric and gas.
- How to connect an instantaneous water heater to electricity? Everything is quite simple. First you need to check how much current the home electrical network can withstand. If you figured this out, then there will be no problems: you can safely put the machine (electric switchpower) and connect the device. If the mains supply cannot withstand the voltage from the water heater, consult an electrician. You may need to change the entire electrical system in the house.
- How to connect a gas-fired instantaneous water heater? To begin with, even this device needs electricity. The geyser has a panel of programs that work from the mains. But in the process of heating the liquid, only gas takes part. This type of fuel releases enough heat during combustion to heat water.
Connection features
How to connect instantaneous water heater? Each model of this device has two tubes: for cold water (inlet) and for hot water (outlet from the heater). Before connecting the device, decide for what needs you need it. If you only need hot water in the bathroom, then the outlet from the device can be directly connected to the faucet next to it. Residents of apartments most often use this method, since they need a flowing water heater only for the period when the centralized hot water supply is turned off. To do this, you can connect the device directly to the mixer in the shower. Residents of private houses were not lucky in this regard: they do not have the opportunity to receive warm water from the central system. In the event that it is necessary to ensure the flow of water to the kitchen, sink, shower, the water heater is installed on the entire water supply system in the house.
