Connecting the heating boiler to the heating system:

Modern heating systems are much more efficient than old devices, which had very low efficiency and often became the cause of fires or carbon monoxide poisoning. They are also very functional and reliable, which often dulls vigilance and creates the illusion of complete security. But still, homeowners are mostly willing to figure out how to connect a heating boiler on their own.

Types of devices and their features

To begin with, it must be said that all work should be carried out only in strict accordance with the project. In this case, all such documentation must pass the necessary authority for approval and, if necessary, make changes to it.

It is also important to say that with your own hands, you should not carry out the installation, because it has a lot of features, for the implementation of which you may need an appropriate education.

Kinds of boilers

• First of all, domestic boilers for heating systems are divided into those that use electricity for work and those that need open fire to operate.. At the same time, it should be said that the method of connection of all elements completely depends on this. A scheme of connecting a heating boiler with fuel is considered especially difficult, since for the operation of electrical equipment it is sufficient to simply connect it to a power source and a network of radiators.

• There are floor and wall units. It is important to note the fact that both types of such products are equally good, but stationary devices are usually more powerful and can serve more massive volumes. However, you should not underestimate the wall-mounted appliances, which are immediately equipped with all the additional elements of the main line and connecting this type of heating boiler is simply to connect all the necessary communications.

• Also, such units may have a different number of circuits.. This is very important when it is planned to use the boiler not only to maintain the temperature in the room, but also to heat water for domestic needs. For the installation of such equipment there is a manual that comes with it in the kit.

Tip! The choice of a specific type of boiler should be carried out, focusing on the technical conditions of a particular room. It is advisable to consult with the designer and the gas company if you plan to use this type of fuel.

Features of the preparatory work

To begin with, it is necessary to mention that there is no definite plan that would tell about how to connect the heating boiler correctly. The fact is that almost all such units have a certain degree of fire safety, which means that they should be installed by qualified specialists. At the same time, some gas companies insist that such work be performed by their masters.

Given these features, the entire preparatory stage of work is to choose the right specialist who will be engaged in the development of the project and its implementation. It is worth noting that some construction or installation companies take the whole procedure of paperwork on themselves, although the price of their services is sometimes quite high.

Special attention should be paid to the fact that not only the connection scheme is made, but also the removal of carbon monoxide gases through the chimney. However, it is worth noting that the connection scheme of an electric heating boiler usually does not need special certification or approval, and an air ventilation system is not required for such products.

Tip! Sometimes it is much easier to pay a company that not only sells and installs equipment, but also prepares documentation than to face up-to-date bureaucracy and long lines.

Phased installation

It must be said that this sequence describes the connection of heating to the boiler for informational purposes only. Only certified specialists should install gas equipment.

Venue selection and ventilation

First of all, it is necessary to determine the place of installation of the equipment. If you connect to a heating boiler in a private house, it is usually for this purpose that a separate building is created or a special room is allocated. At the same time it must be a ventilation duct and a separate chimney.

Usually the location of the boiler is indicated in the project with precise instructions and distance from the walls and floor. However, there are such cases when the connection diagram of the heating boiler does not contain specific instructions, which means that the installation must be made taking into account the close and convenient location to the ventilation.

It should be noted that the room itself must be ventilated and have a window. That is why gas companies are often allowed to install such equipment in semi-basement premises, and this is prohibited in the basements themselves, especially when installed in apartment buildings.

Tip! Some types of such systems have certain installation rules, which are often indicated in the instructions for a particular model. Observing them you can achieve maximum results and avoid failure of the installation for a short period of operation.

Boiler feed

To begin, the procedure of connecting the boiler to the heating system is supposed to create a supply for the device. In this case, electrical equipment can be connected independently, while for gas systems require the work of a qualified specialist with the appropriate level of tolerance. Products that use liquid or solid fuel for their work do not need such installation.

It is important to note the fact that when installing electrical systems, it is worthwhile to conduct a separate wiring that would be fully responsible for maintaining the heating. At the same time, wiring diagrams for heating boilers of this type assume the presence of grounding and protective devices against voltage drop and short circuit.

When gas devices are used, it is necessary to immediately install the meter in parallel. This will help to significantly reduce heating costs and provide an opportunity for independent control.

Tip! Usually, when a gas equipment is connected to such a pipe, a special journal is opened, in which the relevant services mark the stages of start-up and maintenance.

Radiators

The connection of the boiler to the radiator system can be considered the final stage in this process. At the same time, the connection scheme of the wall-mounted heating boiler does not contain additional elements in the form of a security unit or other control systems. However, most craftsmen believe that internal devices are not enough and prefer to duplicate them.

If a product with two or more circuits is used, then when connecting it, use the instruction attached to the specific model. However, it is worth checking it in accordance with the marking on the device itself, since sometimes there are some differences, especially with a wide range of manufacturers.

Tip! To create such a connection, you must use special pipes for heating systems that can withstand the maximum heating temperature of the boiler. However, some experts prefer to use products from two-component materials with additional protection from external cooling.

Conclusion

After studying the video in more detail in this article, you can get additional data on the installation of similar equipment and some of its features. Also taking into account the text above, it should be concluded that such an installation must be done with the help of qualified specialists or representatives of gas companies and only some types of boilers can be connected independently.
