Which heating radiators should I buy, what should I choose, and who should I trust to install heating devices? As in other matters related to the construction of a private house or apartment renovation, you can completely take on the solution of all issues or entrust the work to professionals.

But when installing heating, a large number of difficulties arise, while the heating system is planned to be installed once, and you want it to last for many years and not make you regret the money you once saved on the subsequent removal and installation of the radiator. In this article we will try to figure out how to properly create a heating project for your home, and we will tell you about the principles of installing and connecting kermi radiators to the heating system.

Any search engine on request will return many sites that, without any problems, will create a project for you and compile a list of equipment that you will need to purchase (specification). The cost of these documents will directly depend on the number of square meters in your home and the level of complexity of the heating network. In addition, a number of other factors are taken into account that also affect the cost of creating a project. We recommend that you provide the prepared documentation to the installers for review, or take into account the information provided by equipment suppliers, since heating devices vary in configuration.

In this article, we will not go into detail about the installation and configuration of heating boilers, the laying of pipe lines, the purpose of pumps, or which heating system to use in a particular case. Here we will discuss only the principles of installing heating radiators. Buying heating radiators with a full set of mounting accessories is not a problem. After all, KERMI steel radiators are supplied with a complete installation kit.

Complete set of radiators Kermi (Kermi) FKV, FKO

The standard KERMI FKV radiator kit includes:

  • brackets for mounting the heating battery on the wall;
  • Mayevsky valve;
  • thermostat valve;

The standard KERMI FKO radiator kit includes:

  • heating radiator, selected by size;
  • bracket for mounting the device on the wall;
  • stub;
  • Mayevsky valve;
  • separation plug;
  • key for installing the separation plug;
  • dense polyethylene packaging.

Mounting (installation) of radiators with bottom connection

The principles of installing radiators with your own hands are quite simple. First of all, remove the mounting plates from the packaging. Do not rush to completely remove the protective film from the radiator; it will keep its surface in perfect condition until the completion of construction work in the house. Next, you attach the plates to the walls (you need to correctly calculate the installation height of the fastening, the distance between the plates: they must be at the same level). If you install the brackets incorrectly, the heating radiator may be installed crookedly, or simply will not fit into the grooves. After this operation, you should put the heating battery on the mounting plates. We remind you that the distance from the floor to the radiator and from the radiator to the window sill should be from 10 to 13 cm above and below.

Thus, we installed heating batteries. After this procedure, you need to connect the battery to the heating system. This will require additional accessories that are not included in the standard kit. Heating radiators with bottom and side connections require different components. The KERMI FKV is connected to the heating system thanks to a connection group (multiflex), cone inserts, a fitting (eurocone) with a 2/3 union nut (this fitting is purchased along with the pipes). The connection sequence is as follows. We take two conical inserts and place them tightly into the radiator connection pipes, after which we screw on the connection group and tighten it tightly with a wrench. Next, we take the Eurocone, attach it to the pipe and simply connect the pipe and the multiflex (when using polypropylene pipes, you must additionally purchase two cone inserts that are placed between the fitting and the multiflex). The most important thing to remember is that in a radiator the coolant flows in a certain direction, so the supply is always the inner tube, and the return is the outer. We left the simplest thing for last: installing the thermostat. You just need to screw it onto the mounting location.

Replacing heating radiators with bottom connections

is not difficult. Before starting work, it is necessary to shut off the supply of coolant (hot water) to the heating radiator; this is very easy to do, since this feature is already provided on the multiflex. After that, you should unscrew the connection between the radiator and the multiflex, and then simply remove the radiator from the mounting plates.

Do-it-yourself radiator installation with side connection

First, we recommend reading the radiator installation instructions that come with the kit. It describes some features of installing heating radiators, such as: the coolant supply should be made at the top of the heating radiator, and the return should be at the bottom of the radiator. It doesn’t matter which side the supply and return will be on. In order for the THERM X2 system to work correctly on batteries with types 12, 22, 33, you need to install a separation plug on the return line, but everything is in order.

At the first stage, we install the mounting plates on the wall: you need to correctly calculate the mounting height and the distance between the plates; the plates must be at the same level. If you install the plates incorrectly, the heating radiator may be installed crookedly, or simply not fit into the grooves. After this operation, you simply need to put the radiator on the mounting plates. We remind you that the distance from the finished floor to the radiator and from the radiator to the window sill should be in the range of 10 to 13 cm above and below. The main thing is not to completely remove the protective film, as it will help keep your heating device in perfect condition until the repair is completed. But the installation of heating batteries does not end there. It is necessary to install the THERM X2 separation plug on the return line. This plug does not allow the cooled coolant to remain in the heating battery and removes it from the radiator.

Now let's connect the radiator to the heating system. To do this, you will need two valves, one to supply fluid to the battery, and the second to remove fluid from the battery. Let's start with the intake valve. Connection dimensions ½, external thread. Please note that for ease of installation and replacement of heating batteries, this valve must be equipped with an “American” valve. We separate the valve from the American, screw the valve onto the heating pipe, then screw the American into the battery. Then we connect the two elements of the intake valve. Now we connect the check valve. The process is the same as when installing the intake valve. After this, the heater is ready for use.

Installing the separation plug for kermi

Place the mounting key in the separation plug. Then visually verify the correct connection. When the key handle is positioned horizontally, the plug should be in a vertical position. We install a plug in the heating radiator. To do this, bring the plug to the battery, pay attention to the arrow on the key (the arrow should point to the back plate of the heating battery). Insert the separation plug into the connecting thread of the radiator. For convenience, you can slightly squeeze the plug and, moving it back and forth, insert it until it stops. Remove the mounting key. Connect the heating batteries.

Replacing heating batteries with bottom connection

Replacing batteries will also not be difficult. You just need to shut off the supply of coolant to the heating radiator at the inlet and return valves, unscrew the American connection, after which you just need to pull it off the mounting plates, and you can replace it.

Conclusion

Now we know that you can buy heating radiators anywhere and you can install heating batteries yourself, and replacing heating batteries is not a problem at all, given that the installation was done correctly and using suitable shut-off valves.

Quite often, homeowners complain about poor-quality heating; many believe that the reason is in the heating devices, but most often the cause of this problem is poor-quality installation of radiators or the heating system as a whole.

Choosing heating radiators on your own is not easy, since you need to know many nuances and subtleties associated with the room heating system.

For example, centralized systems are characterized by hydraulic shocks that can rupture some types of batteries.

Autonomous systems do not pose any particular threats, but they also require the correct selection of heating devices that meet technical and operational requirements.

Each manufacturer produces its own products for certain systems; only a professional will be able to correctly select the optimally suitable heating units from a huge assortment.

Naturally, you can consult with a heating equipment seller, and he will definitely help you make a choice, but the installation of radiators should only be trusted by a professional.
