The water pipe connection method of the solar water heater is very important, which directly affects the use effect and service life of the water heater. When installing a solar water heater, certain steps and methods must be followed to connect the water pipes to ensure the normal operation and long-term use of the solar water heater.
Here are the steps of the solar water heater water pipe connection method:
1. Before installing a solar water heater, you need to prepare the required tools and materials, including water pipes, gaskets, wrenches, screwdrivers, sealants, etc.
2. Install the bracket. First install the water heater bracket, secure it in place and secure it with rubber gaskets and expansion bolts.
3. Connect the water pipe. Connect the water heater water inlet to the water pipe and use the connector tor connect the water pipe to the water heater. Note that the connection position must be chosen at the bottom of the water heater to facilitate the removal of scale and cleaning of the water heater.
4. Exhaust under pressure. Once the water lines are connected, use a manual or electric pump to increase the water pressure to the appropriate pressure to expel the air and ensure the water lines are clear. Please note that the air inlet hole should be opened and the exhaust hole should be closed during the pressurization process.
5. Connect the water outlet pipe. The connection method of the water outlet pipe is the same as that of the water inlet pipe. Use a joint to connect the water outlet pipe to the water heater. The water outlet pipe should be installed at the bottom of the solar heat absorption pipe so that natural gravity can be used to discharge the hot water.
6. Execution of an test. After connecting the water lines, you need to test the operation of the water heater and ensure that the water heater is working properly. If any problems occur, please adjust and repair them in time.
Generally, the water pipe connection method of solar water heaters is not complicated as long as you follow the steps above, you can install and use the solar water heater. It should be noted that when connecting water pipes, gaskets of reliable quality should be selected and sealants should be used at the connections to avoid water leakage and environmental pollution. At the same time, regular inspection and cleaning of water heaters is also an important way to maintain their efficiency.
