Connecting or inserting bimetallic radiators is no more complicated operation than similar work with any other type of heating devices.. Even with a bimetal, it may be easier to work, due to the fact that its core is made of steel, and all the details by which individual elements are assembled into a block and connected to pipelines are connected to it and also most often also steel. Much less likely to damage the device by excessive or incorrectly applied force, such designs are much more durable than brittle cast iron or soft aluminum.
Installation of such a radiator is even easier because of its small mass., you don't need massive brackets securely fixed in the bearing walls, you can hang the device on the plasterboard or fiberboard cladding, do not use long fasteners to get to the capital structure. And, naturally, for It is desirable to use modern technologies to simplify the installation of radiators. In practice, the most positive feedback was won by strapping heating devices from metal pipes. The use of these two modern products for heat engineering works offers many advantages and greatly simplifies the process. The advantages of this choice of materials include:
- For bending, procurement and connection of parts does not require the use of flammable electrical or gas welding. It is possible to install radiators without damaging the finishing of the room, which means saving on subsequent redecoration;
- There is no need to use pipe benders and "grinders" for cutting and forming piping knots. Metal-plastic is easily cut with an ordinary hacksaw blade or even with a knife, and it is bent by hand;
- To connect the nodes is enough a set of keys and a special bean for this type of pipe.

The installation process itself can be divided into the following steps:
- We dismantle the old heating batteries;
- Determine what work we need to do, and what other parts need to be mounted together with a heating battery (the number of radiator sections, mounted elements to install it, additional fittings to the radiator (Mayevsky unloading taps, adjusting the amount of heat, bypass bars) ). If there is no ready project, it is better to consult specialists;
- We buy materials, fasteners and parts;
- We prepare the joint of our strapping with the old heating system (if needed), remove unnecessary sections of the old pipes, cut the thread for the transition sleeves;
- We assemble the battery from the required number of elements (strictly follow the manufacturer’s instructions to use the original recommended parts and materials so as not to lose the warranty);
- We hang the reinforcement directly attached to it on the radiator (it is easier and more convenient to do this when it is not hanging on the wall);
- Mark up the place on the wall and mount brackets on it to mount the heater;
- We install transition sleeves on pipes of the existing heating system;
- We hang a radiator with some already mounted body kit on the wall;
- We also prepare pipes for final strapping of the battery;
- We mount pipes and assemblies;
- We make the connection of the radiator with the heating system;
- The last stage is to perform a leak test with a pressure of 25% higher (preferably with compressed air), and fill the batteries with water.
Notes:
- Probably, it is about Rifar.
- Probably not very high quality instruments were purchased. Such a sound may occur due to the difference in the coefficient of temperature expansion between steel and aluminum alloy, if the radiator is poorly designed or the production technology is not observed.
