Step-by-step instructions for installing a water heated towel rail

  1. On the wall, mark the brackets. Observe the horizontal placement of the heated towel rail.
  2. Drill a hole in the wall using a drill. To prevent the drill from slipping on the smooth surface of the ceramic, you can use ordinary masking tape at the beginning of the drilling.

At the initial stage of drilling, set the drill to the minimum number of revolutions. The revolutions can be increased after the tool enters the tile at least a little.

When you have drilled through the tile, and the tool's cutting edge reaches the concrete or brick surface, replace the ceramic drill with a more suitable one.

Use a hammer drill when working on brick surfaces.

  1. Remove the plugs and install the heated towel rail valves to the piping. Seal the threaded connections with paste and tape or tape to seal the threads.

Installing an electric heated towel rail

Maintain a minimum distance of 60 cm from the electric heated towel rail to the bathtube or washbasin.

The socket must have a rubber seal and a cover. In the electrical panel in the direction of the outlet for the heated towel rail, it is necessary to install not a conventional circuit breaker, but a residual current device or differential circuit breaker.
