How to install radiator wire
Radiator wire installation is a common operation in home heating system modification or repair. Correct installation can ensure the sealing and thermal efficiency of the radiator. The following are the technical points and structured data related to heating installation in the hot topics on the Internet in the past 10 days for your reference.
1. Installation tools and material preparation

| Tools/Materials | Quantity | Instructions for use |
|---|---|---|
| Wire joint | 2-4 pcs | Connect radiators to pipes |
| Pipe wrench | 1 handful | Fastening thread |
| raw material belt | 1 volume | Sealed and leak-proof |
| spirit level | 1 | Adjust radiator balance |
2. Detailed explanation of installation steps
1.Close valve and drain: Close the main valve of the heating system and drain the remaining water in the pipes.
2.Remove the old pair of wires: Use a pipe wrench to turn counterclockwise to remove the old joint and clean the rust on the pipe threads.
3.Wrapping raw material tape: Wrap 15-20 turns of raw material tape clockwise around the new pair of threads to ensure tightness.
4.Install wire: Manually screw the processed wire into the pipe, and then tighten it 1/4 turn with a pipe wrench (to avoid over-tightening causing cracking).
5.Connect radiator: Align the water inlet and outlet of the radiator with the alignment wire, adjust the position with a level and then fix it.
3. Common problems and solutions
| Problem phenomenon | Possible reasons | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Water leakage from interface | Insufficient wrapping of raw material tape | Rewind and increase to 25 turns |
| Radiator tilt | Inconsistent length of wire | Replace the pair of wires with the same specifications |
| Thread slide | Excessive force | Use thread repair compound or replace pipe |
4. Precautions
1. It is recommended to construct during the non-heating season to avoid the risk of high temperature burns.
2. The cast iron radiator wire needs to be used with special sealant, and the raw material tape may not meet the sealing requirements.
3. After installation, a 24-hour pressure test is required to confirm that there is no leakage before normal use.
