Installation requirements of electric water heater

I believe everyone is familiar with water heaters. As the weather turns cold, many families begin to buy and install water heaters. No matter what kind of household appliances are at home now, the installation is not complicated, and there is no problem that they will not be repaired without after-sales installation. What are the installation requirements for electric water heaters? The following small series will give you a brief introduction.

Consumers and families who buy and are using electric water heaters should carefully read the instruction manual of the water heater to find out whether the wire specifications and current carrying capacity of their own electric water heaters meet the capacity requirements; Whether the socket model and performance match, whether it is waterproof, whether there is an accurate and reliable grounding device, and whether the family needs to buy an electric water heater, first of all, it is necessary to understand the power configuration of the bathroom in this building, and check whether there is a safety grounding device, and whether the ground wire and socket are qualified and applicable. First of all, we should take full understanding and mastery as the premise of procurement.

1. The installation positions of water heaters are basically in the bathroom. Before installation, the load-bearing wall should be selected first. Generally speaking, electric water heaters must be installed on load-bearing walls according to the requirements of various manufacturers. The so-called load-bearing wall is a solid brick wall, concrete wall or concrete beam with a thickness of more than 24CM; Install the filter screen. The instant water heater must be equipped with a filter screen at the water inlet, because there are a small amount of impurities in tap water to avoid getting stuck in the floating magnet (dry burning, no heating) or blocking the shower (the water outlet is getting smaller and smaller). If the filter screen is blocked, the flow rate will decrease and the outlet water will become smaller, so the water heater cannot be heated without floating magnet. After a period of use, remove the filter and clean it before use.

2. Due to the structural problems of the building, if there is no load-bearing wall and the wall is made of foam brick, hollow brick or nine-hole brick, you can also install a water heater, but you need professional service personnel to reinforce it: 1) You can install a bracket (for solid brick walls but not load-bearing walls); 2) You can use the "7"-shaped hanger (hollow bricks, foam bricks or even when the machine is suspended, but the premise must be that the roof of the house is concrete, which is impossible for ordinary houses).

3. It is best to install the machine under the sewer, and it is best not to put it on the toilet; Check the position of the "floating magnet". When installing the water heater, the staff must remember to check whether the "floating magnet" is at the lower end to make it in a free state to ensure the normal use of the water heater. Because the floating magnet is a water-electricity linkage switch, the water valve is turned on to automatically heat, and the water is turned off to stop heating. If there are impurities stuck in the floating magnet, the water heater will dry up or not generate heat, and the impurities on the floating magnet can be removed to work normally.

4 It is best to reserve maintenance space before installation. You know, if you don't reserve maintenance space, it will be a waste of time when the machine needs to be repaired or maintained in the future! Generally, the right side of the water heater is at least 30 cm away from the wall. If the water heater is installed in the ceiling in a fully hidden or semi-hidden way, the ceiling cover on the right side of the water heater should be movable to facilitate future maintenance. Shimada Hanzo machine, wall machine position, ceramic tile should be pasted on it or leveled with cement. Control water flow. When installing the water heater, you must use the special shower provided by the manufacturer. Under normal working conditions, the water heater can adjust the water flow or raise the water temperature by adding a high-grade position. However, the average user does not have the habit of controlling the flow of the faucet, which leads to the water temperature not reaching the predetermined effect.
