How to connect instantaneous water heater to the mixer in

Constant hot in the house is not something exclusive, as previously thought, and in some cities it still is, but an ordinary element of the comfort of life. In this case, your own home can be considered an ideal place for this, especially when it comes to electric instantaneous water heaters. It differs from gas or accumulative in that it requires powerful electrical wiring, which is unlikely to be installed in an ordinary apartment.

We supply hot water in the house

Today we will talk about how to properly connect with your own hands the usual bathroom or kitchen faucet to this interesting device. We will immediately say that there is nothing special in this, and you will not need any special skills from you. The main thing - you must understand the principle of its work, as well as have the knowledge to work with electricity and plumbing.

Typically, such heating units are hung on the wall, placing them as close as possible to the kitchen faucet or faucet in the bathroom, thus minimizing possible heat loss. The mass of the instantaneous water heater is small, so the fixings are not as strong as that of the electric storage tank.

It is enough to install simple brackets and screws. Install flow heaters above or below the sink. The wiring diagram for both cases is always in the instructions that come with the device.

Characteristics of the equipment

Tip: if you have a small family, live in your house or on the first floors of a high-rise building, and there is no place to install a boiler, we recommend paying attention to the instantaneous water heater.

Self install

The first step is to prepare the necessary tools for the work. All manipulations must be carried out according to the recommendations of the manufacturer and the presented schemes.

Tip: if something is not clear to you in the process of work, do not try to continue the installation yourself, so as not to receive an electric shock later. Strictly follow safety precautions.

Be aware that at the outlet of the instantaneous water heater, a regular shower or shower head should be installed, otherwise it will not have time to heat the duct.

Materials and tools in addition to the water heater:

1. Shower hose to be connected to the mixer.
2. Puncher and drill for concrete.
3. Screws and dowels.
4. Copper wire with three separate conductors of the corresponding cross section.
5. Wrench.
6. Screwdriver or screwdriver.
7. Pliers.
8. Plumbing tape fum.

For fixed installation:

1. Tee to divert water from the water supply to the boiler.
2. The crane for blocking water on an entrance of the device.
3. Hose from the water supply to the device.

Tip: You can use the kit for the installation of metal pipes.

Process

The instruction is simple:

1. Mark on the wall of the place to install the device.
2. Drill holes and install dowels in them.
3. For installation and connection of the device there are two ways:

• use a shower hose, then you can turn it off when the hot water from the water mains. You can use a mixer for this - in the “shower” position, water will flow from the water heater, “tap” - from the tap;
• installation in the residential water supply system. In this case, you need to put a separate tap at the entrance to the heater.

In more detail we will consider the second option:

1. Shut off cold water.
2. Install the tap-off adapter in the intended place.
3. Connect the electrical wiring according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Tip: in this case, note that the power consumption in the apartment of an apartment building must match your device. Otherwise, knock out the machine.

1. Install the water heater on the wall.
2. Bring the pipe to it from the plumbing system through a tap or a special adapter, depends on the planned system.
3. Connect the mixer to the heater. If the instantaneous water heater is located at some distance from the sink, use a flexible hose for this, securing it on an additional bracket near the washbasin so that the faucet does not cause inconvenience.
4. Check the performance of the system. Turn on the small water pressure and heater power. After a few seconds, warm water will begin to flow, and then hot water. Pressure can regulate its temperature.

Tip: for old wiring that cannot withstand 3.5 kW, purchase a low power appliance, but you will not get very hot water from it.

It should also be remembered that the instantaneous water heater will not produce water of a certain temperature. It can only warm it by several tens of degrees, for example, by 20. In this connection, the temperature of the outgoing water will be different in summer and in winter.

Conclusion

The use of instantaneous water heaters in the house or apartment increases the comfort of living. The device can be installed optionally near the point of water collection, but simply embedded in the water supply system of the dwelling.

The device’s connection work is simple, but requires strict instructions and adherence to TB. The video in this article will provide an opportunity to find additional information on the above topic.
