2. Installation method of water storage electric water heater
1. Determine the installation location
The storage type electric water heater is installed on the wall, so before installing the storage type electric water heater, we need to choose the installation location for the water heater. And check the firmness of the installation position. Generally speaking, the load-bearing capacity of the wall on which the storage-type electric water heater is installed needs to reach twice the weight of the electric water heater after it is filled with water.
2. Drilling
After determining the installation location and checking the firmness of the wall, we need to drill four holes in the wall with a percussion drill according to the installation location. The depth and size of the hole should be determined according to the size of the screw hole on the electric water heater.
3. Installation of the main body
Insert the expansion bolts and expansion hooks into the holes we drilled in the previous step, and fix them. Work together to lift the main body of the water heater, and put the wall bracket on the water heater on the hook and bolt on the wall. Then install the pads and nuts on the bolts in order. Note that the nuts must be tightened.
4. Installation of accessory widgets
(1) The installation of the mixing valve. Use the matching screws to fix the valve body on the wall, and then screw the fasteners on the cold water port and the hot water port of the mixing valve. Finally, use a hex wrench to install the handle for adjusting the water temperature on the valve body.
(2) Installation of safety valve. The upper end of the safety valve should be connected to the electric water heater, and the lower end should be connected to the cold water pipe on the mixing valve.
(3) Install the shower head support. Choose a good location, fix the shower head support on the wall with screws, and install the shower head and hoses on the pipeline.
