How to choose?
Heated towel rails with bottom connection are represented by a large number of types and sizes, due to which the consumer should not have any problems with the choice. In order to find a reliable and high-quality model, it is necessary to follow some criteria.
First you need to decide which way of working is right for your bathroom. If it is a water type, then a very important technical parameter will be the heat transfer of the material.
This significantly affects the working radius of the heated towel rail, as well as the quality of its main functions.
If the heated towel rail you have chosen is electric, you should pay attention to the power indicator and the maximum heating temperature. It is these two characteristics that affect not only the quality of heating, but also the speed of its achievement.
Do not forget that the best electric heated towel rails have other functions, among which the most important are protection against overheating / freezing, as well as the presence of a thermostat and a dimmer. This is the main advantage of this type of technology - they can be customized by the user depending on the current conditions.
Despite the fact that the main form of execution of heated towel rails with a bottom connection is a ladder, there are other W-shaped models that are cheaper than other products due to their small capacity. In this case, it all depends on what budget the buyer has.
It is worth mentioning about different formations, since some models have the same distance between the beams, and somewhere they are grouped in such a way that it is possible to arrange objects of different volumes.
How to connect correctly?
In order to carry out correct installation to a riser with hot water supply, it is important to understand the type of coolant supply... The first scheme is universal installation in the bathroom, when both riser outlets are located below the connection to the heated towel rail. In this situation, both the top and bottom wiring will work properly. Both lower risers go to the bypass to the heating system.
There is another option, which is only suitable for top feed situations. It is an installation where the top outlet of the riser is higher than the connection to the dryer. An offset bypass is located between the upper and lower wiring, which allows the most smooth distribution of the hot water temperature between the heated towel rail sections.
Installation can be done in several ways - through a shut-off angle valve, direct connection or elbow connection, depending on the location of the product. Then it is necessary to connect one of these parts through a reflector with an eccentric. Much also depends on the configuration that the manufacturer has equipped the model you have chosen. Sometimes it is simply not enough, and you have to purchase installation kits separately, which, in turn, makes it possible to install the equipment in the desired way.
