Gas water heater installation

General household water heaters are divided into two types: electricity and gas. If there is natural gas installed at home, gas water heaters are generally used because they boil water faster and the price of natural gas is much lower than that of electricity. These factors make gas water heaters the mainstream water heaters in homes. However, in order to ensure that fewer problems occur when the gas water heater is in use, you must pay attention to the installation of the gas water heater.

Because gas water heaters use natural gas, if you are not careful during installation and cause natural gas leakage, the safety hazard is very great. Therefore, when installing a gas water heater, you must pay attention to a comprehensive inspection and make sure the installation is qualified. The specific gas water heater installation process is as follows:

1. After the gas valve is installed, the master will first conduct measurements and then drill holes in the wall based on the measured data. Storage water heaters must be installed on load-bearing walls, otherwise there will be safety hazards. If they must be installed on light walls, brackets or other measures must be installed underneath.

2. Now we start the work. There are some skills to drilling holes in tiles. First, use a fine drill bit to grind a small hole to fix the drilling position. Then use a coarse drill bit to slowly grind through the tile at a slow gear. Finally, use the impact gear to drill deeper. This way, the tiles will generally not crack.

3. After drilling and fixing with screws, the next step is to hang the gas water heater. When hanging, make sure the water heater is firm and not loose. The installation height is generally 165 to 175 cm, with the fire viewing window parallel to the person's line of sight.

Notice:

1. As the name suggests, gas water heaters use gas as energy, so there are certain safety hazards. When installing, you must pay attention to sealing the gaps between the exhaust pipes and ventilation during use (the installation location must also be ventilated).

2. Connecting pipes: There is a leather pad in the water pipe to drain water. Be sure to pay attention during installation. Attention should also be paid to the sealing of gas connecting pipes to avoid safety hazards. When buying pipes yourself, you should pay attention to choosing those with better materials. Manufacturers only choose famous brand pipes, so the prices are also relatively high.

3. Tools: drill bit (requires a certain strength), screwdriver, wrench, expansion screws, sealing strips.

The above is an introduction to the steps and precautions for installing a gas water heater. If you are worried that you have installed it incorrectly, it is recommended that you contact the manufacturer and ask the manufacturer to send someone to install it for you. In addition, when using the gas water heater, you must regularly troubleshoot the water heater to avoid safety hazards.
