The heated towel rail is one of the main attributes of the bathroom. This practical device performs several functions at once: heats the room and helps maintain a favorable microclimate in it, serves as an excellent addition to the interior, and is also used for drying and warming up bath accessories - towels, bathrobes and other things.

All modern heated towel rails are divided into:
aqueous (represent a structure from a hollow bent pipe, which connects directly to either to the water supply system, or to the heating system);
electrical (such aggregates operate on the principle of the oil heater and are connected directly to the electrical outlet);
combined (these hybrid devices combined the structural and functional features of the two previous species and work in the mode installed by the holder).

Currently, water coils are most popular. Their main advantages are functionality, democratic cost, aesthetic appearance and relative ease of installation. After purchasing such a heated towel rail, it is necessary to determine the option of connecting it. As practice shows, it is more expedient to connect not to the heating system (in this case, the design will function solely during the heating season), and to the riser of hot water supply.

Before installing a new radiator, it is necessary to overlap the water supply. Making sure the absence of water in the riser, remove the old device by unscrewing the threaded elements. A welded design can be dismantled only with the help of a grinder. When trimming the pipe, consider that the remaining length should be enough for cutting new threads. At the end of the dismantling work, it is safely removed the heated towel rail from the brackets. For cutting new thread Use the appropriate diameter plate (the old thread is preferably "to drive" - \u200b\u200bit will improve the quality of the fastening of the new connection).

After dismantling, proceed to the installation of shut-off reinforcement - ball valves and bypass (special rolling jumper, which is a segment of a polypropylene tube with connecting elements). Bypass - a real chopstick chopstick during emergency situations (for example, in cases of leak detection) and subsequent repair work - opening-closing cranes, you can independently adjust the water supply to your towel rail. As a rule, there are two valves on the jumper (in the places of its connection with the ends of the coil), however, experts are recommended to additionally install the third crane - in the bypass itself (to prevent bringing the system and unhindered water circulation in the heating device and the main pipeline).

Now you need to connect a towel rail to the riser. For this purpose, use angular (straight) fittings. Threaded connections necessarily compact with paronit gaskets, fum-ribbon, linen packles or lubricate with sealant. Tighten the mounts very carefully, so as not to thwart the thread. Before connecting the radiator, do not forget to wear the brackets on the pipes - fastening rings (usually sold complete with the device; if the presence of holders in the kit is not provided, replace them with conventional clamps).
6
The last stage of work is fixing the connected towel rail on the wall. Attaching the design to the placement of the brackets to make a pencil. In the marked places, gently drill holes using a drill (if the wall is lined with tiles, use special drills for the tile). Then in the recess insert plastic dowels. After that, with the help of a screwdriver or a conventional screwdriver, fasten the holders of screws. Consider that if the diameter of the pipes of the heating structure is less than 23 mm, the distance between the wall and the system should be at least 35 mm; If the diameter of the pipes is greater than 23 mm, then the recommended distance is 50-55 mm.

After that, check the connected and fixed towel rail to tightness. Open the shut-off cranes as smoothly as possible so that the coach is filled with water gradually. Otherwise, not avoiding the hydroedar. With proper installation, all connections will remain completely dry.
Installation of a towel rail - a rather time-consuming and responsible process, however, if you wish to cope with the installation of a new serpentine, any representative of a strong sex will be able to cope with the installation of a new serpent.
