Installing a plinth heater is not a complicated job but does require technical knowledge and plumbing skills to connect the unit into your central heating system.
Firstly the installer will drain and remove the existing radiator from the wall . Then the pipe will be cut back or extended as required to suit the new layout. The next stage is to install two Isolation valves on the pipes which will allow the central heating to be refilled and become restarted whilst awaiting the kitchen units to be fitted.The supplied flexible hoses can also be installed to allow easy connection to the plinth heater on the second fix. The final part of the first fix is ensuring you have a power supply available within two meters from the final heater location to connect into the fused spur.
The kitchen units can now be installed and next is to cut out the plinth for the heater to slide in. The two flexible hoses are now connected and the isolation valves opened. This completes the installation and the installer will now run the central heating check for any leaks and adjust the isolation valves / local radiator valves where required to balance the flow and return rate.
