other devices: manifolds, which are used to distribute hot water to the various heating terminals or to the different circuits of radiant panel systems, and thermostatic valves, which are placed directly on the radiators and are used to regulate the temperature of each room. regulation system: thermostat/chronothermostat, which allows to manage/program the system. distribution system: piping, depending on the type of water distribution network, are single pipe and return, single-pipe and two-pipe. In recent years, "alternative" type heating systems such as wall, skirting and floor or air heating systems (fancoil) have taken hold. heating terminals: radiators, from the most classic cast iron radiators to the most modern steel or aluminium ones, up to the most innovative furnishing radiators, passing through the practical towel warmers, ideal to be placed in bathrooms. heat generator: boiler or heat pump, which can be powered by liquid or gaseous fuel. At the end of the operations we will be able to reassemble our radiator, simply by performing in reverse, all the operations seen above.Ī heating system, whatever type it is, consists of a few essential parts. It is advisable to place it on the floor, on a soft surface such as a carpet to avoid scratching the floor. There will still be a residue of water in the heater, then lift the radiator from the wall supports and tilt it to drop all the water into the basin.įor this operation it is essential the help of someone given the weight of the radiator. Then tighten the first nut and move the bowl under the other nut and loosen it almost completely. As soon as the basin is completely full, tighten the nut, empty the container and start the operation again. QuWhen water starts flowing from the heater junction nut, stop unscrewing and let the water slowly flow into the basin. Use a parrot wrench to loosen the joint nut slightly, taking care not to shake the hose too much, which usually ends up in the wall or floor.
Spread a towel on the floor under the joint nut and place over a basin to collect the water residue enclosed in the joints. Operations to do before disassembling a radiatorįirst of all close the general valve that brings water from the boiler to the radiators, or alternatively close the taps on both sides of the radiator, turning them until they are completely blocked, in order to stop the water flow. Here are some tips to remove a radiator easily and intuitively.
Even if it is a rather simple operation, it is important to follow some suggestions to disassemble them in the right way.
Dysmantle steel how to#
This is why it is essential to know how to dismantle them correctly in order to avoid flooding the house. Radiators are usually made of metal materials such as steel, cast iron and aluminium, so they require maintenance in terms of cleaning, painting or in the most serious cases, complete replacement. They are generally connected to a hydraulic network that receives heat from a boiler (fed by various fuels such as gas, wood, etc.). Radiators are part of the most common heating systems.
Here's some advice to keep you on your toes. Have You to take apart a radiator and you're afraid to flood the house?
