A few days ago, my old client, let’s call him Andrey, whose batteries I recently changed, called me with an unusual question.

The crux of the matter was this: he and his friend decided on one's own replace old batteries. They knew in a nutshell how and what was needed for this, and Andrei generally observed my actions when I was working. If there was something unclear, he always asked, and I, without hiding too much, told him in detail the features of the work. But, here’s how to correctly make the markings and make sure that the centers of the radiator and pipe axes coincide - they didn’t pay attention. That's why they turned to me.

To be honest, I never expected this. I didn’t expect that someday someone would need this and would have to explain over the phone how to make the markings. I never thought it was so difficult. Of course, for me everything looks simple: I removed the old battery, marked it, drilled holes, drove brackets into them and hung the radiator. But everything is simple only for me, a person who changes batteries almost every day, like, for example, for each of us to wash our face in the morning

In the evening, Andrey sent a letter of gratitude and photographs of the work done. It turned out great, no worse than mine.

This life episode is firmly embedded in my memory. Probably, Andrey is not the only person who has encountered such a problem. Therefore, I decided to tell you in more detail how I mark and install brackets for aluminum or bimetallic radiators.

How to prepare for replacing a radiator, what is needed for replacement and what tools are needed, I wrote here. I won’t repeat myself, but will get straight to the point. Having dismantled the old battery, we will see the following picture:

On a horizontal pipe, unscrew the couplings; if there are no couplings, cut the threads and install transition connections. In this case, replacement is made with polypropylene pipes. I use flax and Unipak paste as a sealing material for carvings.

Now we place the radiator near the window. Some people like it when the radiator hangs in the center of the window, others move it closer to the edge. How exactly to place it is your choice.

Personally, I like it when the radiator hangs in the center.

By the way, the question is often asked: how many brackets are needed for a radiator? Practice has shown that for aluminum radiator up to 12 sections - three fastening points are enough: two on top and one on the bottom. And if there are more than twelve sections, then four attachment points will be needed. And yet, bimetallic radiators are heavier, so such radiators of up to 10 sections are installed on three brackets. Well, if there are more than 10 sections, then four.

We move the radiator to the side; we won’t need it for now. We take a building level, place it in the center of the horizontal pipe on which the transition coupling was previously installed, and make a mark on the wall. There is no need to calculate the center with a ruler; it is enough to determine it by eye.

Approximately one centimeter below our mark we draw a horizontal line. Brackets will be installed on this line. Why lower? In order for the centers of the radiator and pipe axes to coincide.

Now we draw vertical lines to this line. It will turn out like this:

It remains to note the location of the lower central bracket. We mark 50 cm from the top line and make a mark.

We drill holes, insert dowels and screw the brackets into them. Of course, you can simply hammer in the brackets, because as they say folk wisdom: “A hammered self-tapping screw holds better than a twisted nail”

It is best to choose a flat bracket for the radiator, with a dowel. Unlike other brackets, these allow you to easily adjust the distance of the radiator from the wall and align it in planes.

If necessary, align the radiator by bending the bracket up or down.

When adjusting the radiator, do not forget to monitor the axes of the radiator and pipe, they must be at the same level.

Of course, before hanging the radiator on the brackets, it needs to be “assembled”, i.e. install fittings, taps and adapter couplings.

After all the manipulations, you will get a radiator correctly installed along the axes. Ready for connection and further use, but this is already quite

P.S. Still, replacing heating radiators requires certain knowledge and skills, as well as a set the necessary tool. If you have neither one nor the other, but still have the desire to replace the radiators, you can contact me for help. To do this, just call 903-36-05, send an email [email protected] or leave a request on the Golden Hands website and I will call you back.

Threaded bracket.

A bracket for radiators is a specific fastening element that allows you to fix the heating element in in the right place and in the right position. In this case, the position of the radiator should not change over time and under the influence of increased operating loads. Today you can find both specialized fasteners, for example, a bracket for a cast iron radiator, and a unified device.

The latter, according to the manufacturers, allows you to correctly and firmly fix any type heating devices. In practice, experts still recommend buying devices that take into account the characteristics of each specific battery model and their construction material.

Choosing a bracket for a cast iron radiator

Adjustable floor bracket K 11.3.

The bracket for a cast iron radiator must be different increased strength and sizes. The design of the fastening element is influenced by the parameters of the heating element itself. ) heavy and massive among all types of radiators.

To fix cast iron heating devices, the following types of clamps are used:

  • cast, cast iron;
  • steel pins 300 mm long with dowel;
  • steel with stripes;
  • steel with the ability to adjust the horizontal position and distance from the wall.

The choice of fastener is also influenced by the structural material of the wall. So, for brick and concrete wall A pin mount will do. Devices with up to 10 sections are mounted on the wall using two brackets at the top and one at the bottom. A heating device with more than 10 sections in size requires additional support using floor clamps and stands. For installation according to soft material walls (plasterboard and wood) only floor fasteners are suitable. It can have a height adjuster or be produced without it.

The bracket for a cast iron battery must be reinforced. This is evidenced by the corresponding inscription on the packaging with the mount - “reinforced”.

Fixing bimetallic radiators

Floor plastic bracket for bimetallic batteries.

Brackets for bimetallic radiators are selected based on the dimensions of the equipment, the number of sections, installation options and features of the structural material of the walls. Compared with cast iron batteries bimetallic analogues weigh much less. This type can be mounted directly on a wall (brick or concrete) using universal brackets with dowels. More suitable for plasterboard base floor option with adjustable and non-adjustable height (center distance 200, 350, 500).

If the room has a panoramic window and is selected for heating the room ) , then they can be fixed in the desired position using either floor fasteners or steel corner product. Brackets for bimetallic radiators must be made of steel.

Fixing the steel heater

Adjustable floor bracket K 11.9.

Although steel heating equipment is heavy, it is not as massive compared to cast iron counterparts. That is why the bracket for may have a welded structure. A U-shaped and K-shaped element made of steel is suitable here. It is attached to the wall and is used if the panel heater is equipped with special brackets.

In front of the panoramic window, a bracket for steel radiators would be relevant floor mounting. But in this case it must have a reinforced structure. If heating device is different large sizes, then for its installation additional fixation is used using a corner bracket. Two types of fasteners: wall (rod with dowel or steel with plate) and floor, adjustable stand are useful when the structural material of the wall is not durable. This could be wood or porous bricks.

Aluminum batteries and their fastening

Bracket for lightweight aluminum radiator.

This type of heating elements is the lightest. However, at the same time, its structural material has a high coefficient of thermal expansion. These parameters must be taken into account when choosing a bracket for an aluminum radiator.

Pay attention to following types fasteners:

  • steel corner. Depending on size heating equipment can have a simple or reinforced design;
  • round or flat pin with dowel for batteries with different center distances;
  • universal with plastic cover;
  • floor adjustable fasteners.

In order not to disturb the design of the room, manufacturers of fasteners have developed special models that allow the battery to be fixed using brackets welded to its rear panel.

For organization heating system along panoramic window will be suitable floor stands or corner bracket for aluminum radiator.

Features of the wall mounting system

Any bracket for a wall-mounted radiator is a crescent-shaped hook. The loop itself can be made in the form of a semicircle or have rectangular shape. At the end of the fixing device there can be either a fastening plate (it sits on self-tapping screws), or in the case of a pin fastener, it is a regular thread. With its help, the pin is screwed into the wall, where the dowel is previously inserted.

The bracket for attaching the radiator to the wall can be of the following types:

  • cast iron (used only for fixing batteries made of similar structural material);
  • steel, pin fixed (used for fixing cast iron, aluminum and steel heating elements);
  • steel adjustable element (cast iron, steel, bimetallic heating devices);
  • plate retainer made of steel (cast iron, steel batteries);
  • corner regular or reinforced structures (for aluminum and bimetallic products).

Bracket for panel radiator often shaped like a hook. He strengthens heating device through a special bracket that is welded to its rear panel. From a design point of view, this is the most good way installation, as it is completely invisible.

Advantages of floor fasteners

A bracket for floor mounting of a radiator will come to the rescue if the structural material of the wall is not able to withstand the weight of the battery, and therefore the wall clamp cannot be used. The above device used when installing a heating element opposite a panoramic window. A floor clamp can be an excellent decorative element when design premises.

It is used to support particularly massive heating appliances made of cast iron, or to install very large radiators. Installing brackets for floor-mounted radiators will ensure reliable fixation of the equipment. During the work you will not need the help of a specialist, since the device is easy to use.

The following types of floor clamps for batteries are distinguished:

  • fixed and adjustable, possibly with a plastic cover;
  • combination product;
  • specialized, the width of which ranges from 80 mm to 100 mm.

Professional installation of radiators

Reliable installation of any heating element of a heating system depends on how correctly the bracket is selected and how competently and firmly it is fixed. All work must be carried out in strict accordance with the provisions of SNiP of 2003 on heating, ventilation systems and room conditioning.

How to mark brackets for a heating radiator? To answer correctly this question, experts offer the following calculation scheme and detailed photos.

The following conventions are used in Figure 1:


In a similar way, the location of the fasteners and the distance between the radiator brackets are established. Many people ask how many brackets are needed for a radiator? If we are talking about aluminum heating element, then for 12 sections you need 3 wall fasteners. One below and two above. When the number of sections exceeds 10 pieces, 4 fasteners are used, two at the bottom and two at the top. Bimetallic radiators heavier, and therefore for 10 sections you need 3 brackets, and if the number of sections is more than 10 pieces, then 4 clamps.

Cast iron radiators are considered the heaviest, and therefore require the most brackets to fix them. So, here floor brackets-stands must be used. The number of brackets per radiator increases with the size of the heating element.

The main thing is to secure it correctly

Reliable fixation of the battery depends on correctly selected and installed brackets. Thus, today wall and floor clamps are used, which in terms of shape and strength take into account all the features of heating equipment. The dimensions of the brackets for radiators are selected according to the size of the sections of the heating device.

The structural material must correspond to the loads that will act on the fastener throughout its entire service life. For cast iron radiators Cast iron and reinforced steel fasteners are suitable. For bimetallic and aluminum batteries In addition to the above, corner fasteners are also used. Steel radiators also require reinforced fixation. This video will help you on how to properly mount brackets for radiators:

Mounted is a design that significantly transforms front part buildings. In addition, the NVF promotes ventilation of the building, insulates it and prevents the formation of moisture. Facade design consists of facing materials, air gap, insulation and metal frame, or subsystems.

Among the advantages of illegal armed groups it is worth noting:

  • noise and sound insulation;
  • hiding wall defects;
  • high payback and efficiency (due to insulation it reduces the energy consumption of the building);
  • prevents the formation of mold, dampness and fungal formations on the wall surface;
  • stylish design.

Initially, curtain facades were used mainly in the construction of office buildings and shopping centers, but in Lately The construction of residential complexes using this is gaining popularity. The leading place among the materials used for cladding is porcelain stoneware.

In order to curtain façade served for a long time, had an aesthetic appearance, was functional and economical, you need to be able to correctly select and calculate materials for its installation.

How to choose materials for suspended ventilated facades?

In order to select materials for hanging ventilated structures and tools, you need to understand the design of the NVF.

The load-bearing structure is the wall of the building. The facade consists of the following elements:

  • insulation;
  • air gap;
  • facing materials;
  • vertical guide;
  • supporting bracket;
  • spherical washer;
  • thermal insulating gasket under the bracket;
  • anchor dowel;
  • rivets;
  • dowel for attaching insulation;
  • clamp;
  • waterproof membrane.

Anchor

Attaching the brackets load-bearing structure carried out using anchors. The anchor is a nylon dowel with a side and a steel expansion screw with a press washer. In order to select this element correctly, you need to determine bearing capacity walls by testing anchors. Based on the results of the technical assessment by the FGU FCS, a technical certificate is issued - anchors that do not have it cannot be used in construction.

The use of anchors whose screws have an electrozinc coating is prohibited in Russia, because the zinc layer wears off due to long-term use.

Thermal insulation elements

Can only be used as insulation non-flammable materials. In addition, the insulation must be resistant to moisture penetration and have high density and don't sag. Just like the anchor, the insulation must have a technical certificate. The thickness is determined individually by the characteristics of the building. The thermal insulation element is attached to the wall through installed brackets using disc dowels. The disc dowel should be made of a plastic or nylon dowel with a steel shank nail.

When installing insulation, an air gap must be left, the width of which usually does not exceed 40 mm. The higher the thermal conductivity coefficient, the wider the thickness of the insulation layer must be to achieve the required level of resistance to thermal transfer. Other important coefficients are the coefficients of vapor permeability and air permeability.


Facing

The cladding must have maintenance. The facing material depends on the type of supporting structure.

The following is used as cladding:

  • porcelain stoneware;
  • aluminum and composite materials;
  • siding;
  • marble and stone tiles;
  • polyalpan.

Each facing material has its own unique properties and advantages, an optimal price category, as well as the ability to implement bold architectural projects.

Fasteners

Installation of the brackets to the wall is carried out using anchor dowels with a side and an expansion screw, which is coated with a thermal diffusion solution. This coating protects the anchor from corrosion, because aluminum and steel react upon contact, which provokes corrosion. This is especially important when using aluminum alloy trim.


Depending on the mounting of guide profiles and brackets, different materials are used:

  • for aluminum cladding these are aluminum and stainless steel. The core is made of stainless steel and the sleeve is made of aluminum. Also choose the side of the blind rivet, which does not exceed 11-14 mm;
  • If facade system made of zinc or stainless steel, the blind rivets and sleeve are also made of stainless steel.

Substructure elements:

  • brackets;
  • extension cords;
  • guide profiles;
  • clasps.

Profiles can be produced:

  • made of aluminum;
  • galvanized steel;
  • of stainless steel.

The material and type of profile is selected depending on the cladding:

  • substructure with a horizontal profile is suitable for installation of linear panels and corrugated sheets;
  • a substructure with a vertical profile is mounted to linear panels, siding, facade cassettes, porcelain tiles and corrugated sheets;
  • The cross type of profiles is suitable for porcelain stoneware and façade cassettes.

Material calculation

Before selecting and calculating ventilated hanging structures it is necessary to conduct a study of the object. The anchor dowel is tested and the building is photographed to identify its actual size and type of load-bearing wall.


As a result of the study, the following results should be obtained:

  • type, thickness, as well as a plan for location and fastening of thermal insulation;
  • junction nodes;
  • structure of the supporting structure;
  • Thermal analysis of the object and façade bracket.

As a result of thermal engineering analysis, the size of thermal energy savings resulting from the installation of the facade and the thickness of the insulation are calculated.

The size of the disc dowels for fastening the panels is recommended by the manufacturer, but the length can be determined by the formula, where the thickness of the thermal insulation must be added to the minimum depth to which the disc dowel is attached to the structure. The length of the bracket depends on the thickness of the thermal insulation or the outer edge of the lined facade.

Number of brackets per 1 square meter façade is calculated depending on:

  • cladding mass in kN/m2;
  • wind load in kN/m2;
  • ultimate load of brackets in kN;
  • critically permissible load anchor dowel at the base of the system in kN.

It is a mistake to calculate the amount of materials based on the area of ​​the front part of the building facade and the quantity facing material, as well as the prices of substructures designed for 1 sq. m, excluding architectural details, configurations of window openings and doors.

The choice of the width of the façade guide is determined by the height of the floors, the number of windows and doorways, transitions between them, as well as the type of their configuration.

It is recommended to leave gaps between the two supporting guides, the width of which does not exceed 8-10 mm. This is due to the temperature difference in thermal expansion of the cladding materials and the supporting structure, as well as the impact external environment. The length between the horizontal facade guides must be a multiple of the width of the cladding.

How to select adjacent nodes?

The design of the junction points depends on the type of cladding and insulation. It is better to use standard nodes.

Nodes must be selected depending on the purpose and place of application:

  1. Facade dowel.
  2. Lightning rods.
  3. Upper connection to the window opening.
  4. Bottom connection to the window opening.
  5. Adjacency external corner façade design.
  6. Facade profile.
  7. Adjacent to the window opening from the side.
  8. Adjacent to the ground floor.
  9. Adjacent to the parapet space.
  10. Vertical section of the structure.
  11. Horizontal section of façade parts.
  12. Horizontal section of adjacent parts of the facade.
  13. Connection to remote elements: lamps, video cameras, lamps.

Calculation of materials for the subsystem

The calculation of attachments is made depending on the material from which the subsystem is made. Painted galvanized steel, for example, has more high price than unpainted. The cheapest is unpainted, next on the list is painted, and the most quality material is stainless steel.


Conclusion

In order to correctly calculate and select materials, you need to understand their types and compatibility with each other. It is also necessary to carry out calculations adjusted for architectural features buildings, openings and corners existing in it, types of fastenings and insulation, humidity, wind strength and average temperature of the area. The manufacturer and the cost of the product play an important role.

Hello.

If this is your first time on this site, I advise you to bookmark it, since plumbing issues will sooner or later affect every person. And regardless of whether he wants it or not.

Let's now look at the main question of this page: how to install a radiator in your apartment with your own hands. First of all, you need to decide on the wall and the radiator itself:

  1. radiator size (how many sections, size based on plug centers)
  2. What is the radiator made of (aluminium-bimetallic, cast iron, steel)
  3. what material is the wall made of? (depends on the shape of the fastenings)

Once these parameters are determined, you can begin to implement the plan. We define the parameters. It is best to leave the size at the centers of the plugs as you had, so as not to redo the heating riser connections. But this is except in cases where a convector with a smaller size than 500 mm was installed. How many sections: the number of sections is selected based on at least 1000 W of radiator power per 10 m2 at standard conditions heated area (1 window, 1 door and ceiling no higher than 3 m).

Installation of the radiator must begin by marking the installation locations of the brackets. The best option will adjust the height of the radiator by placing it against the connections. It is advisable to check the horizontal level so that the radiator does not become airy. Place the fasteners in their installation locations and mark the holes on the wall fastenings. Using a hammer drill, drill holes with a diameter corresponding to the fastening dowels. Secure the brackets with dowels.

How many brackets should there be to install one radiator? Aluminum - bimetallic: up to 8 sections it will be enough to install at least three brackets. More than eight sections will require four fastenings. More than 12 sections require more fastenings. After securing the brackets and hanging the radiator, press on it and you will see if it hangs tightly. Do not forget to provide in advance the supply elements of the pipeline: bends, American connectors, couplings, or whatever else you may need.
