The best battery height from the floor
All professional builders know that during installation work it is necessary to adhere to certain axiom rules. Some of these postulates are conditional, others are reflected in regulatory documents: GOSTs or SNIPs. Recommendations and rules exist for all the details, including the most insignificant. Heating appliances are no exception to the rule. This article will figure out what is the best battery height from the floor.

Arrangement of a heating system can not be called a simple thing, so you need to choose heating radiators and pipes so that they ideally fit the features of a particular room.
Important! If you are still at the stage of selecting all the components and specify in advance all the technical nuances, read also our other articles on this topic:
As a rule, they install a heating radiator in a place with maximum heat loss. In apartments and houses, such a place is the door and window openings, regardless of the use of innovative technologies. It is hardly possible to install a radiator above the door, so the radiators are mounted under the windows.

Installation Rules
When the radiator is located under the window, it is placed exactly in the center. In addition to the size of the battery, there are a number of requirements and recommendations regarding the acquisition and installation:
- The heating device must be equidistant from the edges, exactly in the middle.
- The height of the radiator from the floor should not be more than 150 mm to prevent the formation of cold zones above the floor. It is also not recommended to lower the battery below 80-100 mm from the floor, since cleaning in this area will be difficult.
- The optimal interval from the radiator to the windowsill is 120-180 mm. If you put it closer, then you can not avoid heat loss due to the intake of cold air from the window.
- The distance between the wall and the rear wall of the battery varies between 30 and 70 mm - this is a necessary condition for air convection.
Important! If the battery is too moved against the wall, the gap between the radiator and the wall surface will be a kind of dust collector. In addition, during the heating season, the heater may damage the drywall wall covering.
Installation work:
- Before mounting the battery, aluminum foil is glued onto the wall surface. This must be done to increase the efficiency of the device and improve heat transfer.
- After that, you can mark the fasteners.
Important! When installing a radiator, it is necessary to control both planes - vertical and horizontal. The quality of heating depends on how much vertical and horizontal are observed.
- The medium-sized heater is hung on 2 brackets located under the extreme sections.
- If the battery is large, an additional bracket is required strictly in the central opening.
- Another necessary condition is a jumper (bypass) for single-pipe wiring, which makes it possible to independently control the required amount of heat in the room. The advantage of the bypass is that its installation does not provide for the preliminary receipt of special permits.It is possible to install a jumper yourself.
Important! The rules for installing heating batteries are the same for both central and individual heating. To install new batteries, it is necessary to coordinate this moment with the Housing Office or the management company.
