5. Setup and Installation
The EMKE bathroom radiator is designed for flexible and straightforward installation. It can be mounted with connections on either the left or right side.
5.1 Pre-Installation Checks
- Ensure the wall is suitable to bear the weight of the radiator when filled with water.
- Verify that the plumbing connections are correctly positioned according to the radiator's dimensions.
- Confirm you have all necessary tools (drill, level, wrench, etc.).
5.2 Installation Steps
- Marking Drill Holes: Hold the radiator against the wall at the desired height and use a level to ensure it is straight. Mark the positions for the mounting brackets.
- Drilling and Fixing Brackets: Drill holes at the marked positions, insert wall plugs, and securely fasten the mounting brackets to the wall using the provided screws.
- Mounting the Radiator: Carefully lift the radiator and place it onto the installed brackets. The adjustable wall distance (112-122 mm) allows for individual adaptation.
- Connecting to Plumbing: Connect the radiator to your central heating system using the G1/2" universal thread connections. Ensure all connections are tight to prevent leaks. The connection distance is 50 mm.
- Filling and Bleeding: Once connected, slowly fill the heating system. Bleed the radiator using the bleed valve to remove any trapped air until water flows out steadily.
