Many people know that the quality of Soviet-built houses leaves much to be desired. Very often, new houses do not have good quality indicators. If we talk about the plumbing system, then the situation is completely similar. After finishing, heated towel rails look like an eyesore, which are made from a hot water pipe. Such a product formally performs its tasks, but it is not always convenient to use it. If you decide to make repairs in the bathroom, then replacing the heated towel rail should be one of your tasks.
At the moment, to replace the old product, you can choose a new one from the mass of models on the market today. They differ in materials and form. The choice of a heated towel rail is also a difficult task. At the moment, the most popular are M-shaped products, which are quite easily installed in the water supply system. If it is supposeduse other heated towel rails, then it is worth redoing the conclusions by placing them in the right place.
Replacement of the heated towel rail can be done by one of two ways of connecting to the pipes of the riser: either through a direct connection, or through a bypass, when water enters it in parallel with the transit throughout the system. The second case assumes that the connection will be made using ball valves, which will allow the product to be dismantled, if necessary, with its subsequent installation in place.
Replacing a heated towel rail is usually done using a variety of additional items. Initially, the product is assembled only with holders, which makes it necessary to purchase all the fittings before installing them yourself. The whole structure looks neat enough when using the minimum number of connections, but this is not always possible. It is worth saying that the fittings and pipes do not differ in the decorative component, therefore, the less they are visible, the more neatly the bathroom will look in the end. But if leaks occur, it will be necessary to disassemble some part of the wall or box.
If all the nuances are taken into account, then at the final stage of the repair, a heated towel rail is connected. With pre-installed ball valves at the inlet and outlet, there should be no problems with installation, that is, the process will not take you much time.
Worth itto say that the replacement of the heated towel rail is carried out by each master using some specific tricks, which will allow, for example, not to experience problems during the work of master finishers or others. It is possible to provide a certain margin for the length of the fitting, taking into account how thick the tile to be laid will be, as well as a layer of glue under it, which will later allow these planes to coincide without damaging the decorative effect of the entire structure.
So, you understand that you can replace the heated towel rail yourself, especially if you have certain knowledge and the necessary tools, but it is better to turn to professionals.
