The Crealux tubular radiator (1), installed in the hallway, serves as a reliable obstacle on the way of cold air coming from the entrance door.
Models resembling art objects, for example, with a bright image (2) or similar to the original musical instrument made of chrome pipes (3), can simultaneously play the role of decor elements and become a spectacular decoration of any room of an apartment or at home.
Be prudent!
Starting repairs, many do not take into account that the jokes are bad with the central heating. The hosts of most landscaping apartments in our country dismantle the former, installed by the builders of heating devices, and often risers with eyelid. The places of old "batteries" occupy more powerful and beautiful radiators or convectors, purchased by the owner or hired by people in the construction market or in a specialized heat engineering company. At the same time, no one, as a rule, does not address the organizing home organization (managing company) to obtain permission to dismantle the old and installing new heating devices.

4. Model Ciussai (AD HOC) is an embodied triumph of pragmatism, built into the rank of gaming techno-ethiette: its form is easy to change, squeezing or stretching, as a spring.
5. The radiator VU (AN-TRAX IT) is made of figured steel plates cut with a laser. His outlines resemble flames.
6. The front MINIB convectors panel are made by colored tempered glass (there is also a variant from a dress like a natural stone).
Renovating their accommodation, people quickly forget about alterations in the heating system. Those who are lucky, live with new devices until the next repair. Less successful on their own experience find out what an accident is a heating system in a multi-storey building and what its financial consequences (especially if a flood occurs in apartments on the upper floors, when there is no one of the capable tenants). If a commercially established radiator collapsed and because of this, neighbors were filled, the victims can recover from the apartment owner, where the ill-fated device was installed, a rather significant amount - from several thousand to several million rubles. So they will try to compensate for the damage caused by their property, and in some cases the harm caused to the health of people living in the apartment. The culprit of the accident will have to spend money and repairing its own housing, where many things will be spoiled due to the effects of steam and flows of boiling water.

New radiators must correspond to the parameters of the heating system, otherwise problems may arise. Thus, with an increased pH of the coolant of the network in an aluminum radiator, corrosion (A) quickly appears; The inconsistency of the crimping or working pressure of the strength characteristics of the device can lead to the appearance of cracks (B, B), and a sharp pressure jump - to the destruction of the radiator (g).
According to the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of August 13, 2006. N 491, heating system in a city high-rise building, including all heating devices, is a common property at home. The management company is responsible for its operation. Without its permission, any changes in the design of the heating system are unacceptable - they are a violation of the law. Therefore, if an unauthorizedly established heating device collapsed and an accident occurred, the financial responsibility for its consequences under the law is primarily the owner of the apartment in which he conducted an inconsistent replacement.

Design Radiators: Line (Cordivari) (7), Thermic (8), Silouhette (Cordivari) (10), Makura (Ad Hoc) (11).
If the flood occurred due to the illiterate actions of the installer invited by the owner's owner (for example, installing a ball valve on a pipeline, applying a coolant to a new radiator, he pulled the threaded connection, and as a result), to force this mountain wizard to compensate for your losses in a legitimate way also Will not succeed. Heating devices often change the so-called experts from "International Brigades" or hunting for an additional earnings of plumbing from the management company. Prove their guilt in court will be very difficult, as they do not guarantee the installation of radiators and do not conclude written contracts, and in the face of the ministers of the law they refuse to be refused, referring to a short memory ...
Claims for the trade organization where you bought a radiator will also be unreasonable: such companies in most cases are not taken to install the heating devices sold by them in repaired apartments. Only unofficially in such trading enterprises you may recommend a specialist involved in private practice (the same plumbing), or a semi-legal assembly company - take from them if an unexpected will happen, there will be nothing.
However, even specialized assembly organizations in the event of an accident, as a rule, are invulnerable. They do not contact the tax company - their employees always offer the owner of the apartment independently agree that at the time of installing a new radiator or convector disconnects the riser. A guarantee for their work (it is on work, and not to the heating device and the components necessary for its installation) they give for 1-3 years.
Opinion of a specialist
Many owners of apartments, buying sectional radiators, do not think about the fact that these devices must comply with the technical characteristics of the heating system in which they have to work. If the operating conditions of the radiators do not respond to the parameters specified by the manufacturer in the serviceport, the warranty on them does not apply. For example, one of the most important operating conditions is the corresponding value of the hydrogen indicator (pH). This indicator affects the service life of the radiator, since the aggressive coolant destroys the walls of the collectors. Since in the system of central heating, the pH value is far from neutral, it is important to choose a radiator protected from corrosion, that is, from the effects of an aggressive coolant. For trouble-free operation, it is recommended to use a bimetallic radiator - with steel vertical and horizontal collectors. Half bimetallic radiators are two minuses: the smaller heat of the cottage of each section (since the thermal conductivity has become lower than aluminum) and a higher price compared to aluminum radiators. However, there are exceptions. For example, in the ROYAL THERMO range (Italy) there is a Biliner InOx radiator with a collector of stainless steel. It provides maximum corrosion protection in the central heating system with a superagressive coolant and has an aerodynamic design that allows to increase the heat transfer as much as possible. The practical owner will buy an expensive, but high-quality radiator who will serve many years and is guaranteed not to create emergency situations.Evgenia Millman, expert Rusklimat
Beauty at your own expense
How to change the heating devices without violating the law not to bear material responsibility for the consequences of an accident that may occur as a result of this substitution? First, consider this situation: radiators or convectors in your apartment are quite working, but instead you want to buy and at your own expense to mount new ones. Two options are possible here.
Theoretically, the easiest way is to replace the heating device in a city high-rise house similar by parameters and technical device, without reworking communication, supplying the coolant (that is, to attach a new radiator strictly to those threaded areas on the pipes to which the old one). With such a replacement, it is not necessary to make changes to the technical passport of the apartment, and therefore it is not a reorganization of the residential premises. By law in this case, you will be enough to get a written permission of the management company to dismantle the old and installing a new heating device (specific model). The work is required to carry out specialists officially provided or approved by the Management Company. After completion of the work, you must compile an act of acceptance, at which the signature of the official representative of the management company and the seal of this organization must be established.
Will the management company go ready for you to meet? Unfortunately, hardly. The ultimate probability of its employees will verily respond to you that they will not officially change the heating devices, since there is no need for this. But you will most likely not get a motivated refusal to your written request. After all, intending to legally replace the old heating devices in your apartment with new ones, you offer the management company at your expense to improve the technical condition of the common property of the house. Its part of it is irrational to reject such an initiative. It is more problematic to formally replace old heating devices with new, but more power or rearrange the radiators to other places, paving the additional segments of pipes for transporting the coolant to them (that is, change the design of the heating system serving your home). Such an "upgrade" of the heating system is already a reorganization of the residential premises, and in accordance with the Housing Code of the Russian Federation, its implementation requires the application of appropriate changes to the Apartments. It is authorized before starting such work, it is necessary to obtain "green light" not from the local government, but from an organization authorized to issue such permits.
For example, in the capital to coordinate the reorganization needed in the State Housing Inspectorate of Moscow (Moszhilospects). Muscovites who want to increase the power of the heating devices or transfer them, first need to receive a free consultation on this issue in the "One window" service of Moszhilospect. This can be done in the administrative district, where the apartment is located in which the reorganization is planned. The inspection specialist will explain what documents are needed to obtain permission to perform work in your case, and what approvals will be required. If you have not achieved any intelligible response, personally contacting the local government body, send a letter there with a notice of the presentation in which to clearly state your intentions. Then the case is likely to move from the dead point.

12. ARBONIA tubular radiator is made of steel.
13. Cast iron (Art casting) Nostalji floor radiators (Sanica Dokum Radyator).
14. Not fitting in the interior, heating devices are often masked by decorative screens made of tempered glass or from wood with perforated plastic inserts. Although the screening is usually essential (up to 30%) reduces the heat of the cottage to the room.
But note that permits for the rude change in the design of the heating system, such as the transfer of radiators to a glazed loggia or a balcony, you will not receive under any circumstances. Again the heating devices more powerful or "maneuver" them within the boundaries of heated rooms can only be able to meet the project agreed with the supervisory authorities. Accomplice, the increase in radiators power will have to coordinate with the project organization that is the author of the project of the heating system of your home, or its successor, and if they are not no additional technical expertise. For example, the technical accounting of such changes in the capital is performed by the Moscow City Bureau of Technical Inventory on the basis of an act approved by Moszhilius on the completed reorganization and (or) redevelopment of residential / non-residential premises in a residential building.
By the way, the technical passport of the apartment, which contains basic information about the heating system and heating devices, while there is far from all property owners in new buildings, not to mention the inhabitants of the old residential foundation. However, such a document is absolutely necessary for those who are going to change the design of the heating system at their own expense. (The technical passport of the apartment can be compiled, for example, according to Appendix 3 to the decree of the Government of Moscow of January 31, 2006 N 59-PP "On the procedure for conducting technical certification of residential premises (apartments) in Moscow.")
Remember that holding an illegal reorganization in your apartment, in particular the change in the design of the heating system (this fact can be installed, admit, when selling, exchange, inheriting housing), can be punishable. So, administrative responsibility for individuals for unauthorized reorganization of residential premises (including for reinstalling heating devices without permission) implies, in particular, a fine in the amount of up to 25 minimum wages (minimum wages). The owner of the apartment in which an illegal reorganization was conducted may also oblige to restore its initial species. The Housing Code of the Russian Federation provides sufficiently strict sanctions for the fact that the residential premises is not given in the previous state (if the reorganization was not legalized). The owner of the premises threatens to sell his housing from public auctions (at the same time, he will pay funds from the sale of funds less expenses for execution of a court decision, and the new owner will contribute to the apartment in the original appearance). The housing is driving a housing agreement, and the new employer (or owner) will also need to return this residential premises into the previous state.
Replacement with housing and utilities. Why not?
Do not forget that it is possible to replace the old heating device new at the expense of the balance sheet of the management company, which provides utilities. At the same time there is one condition: you must prove that the radiator installed in your apartment or during the previous overhaul can no longer be operated. Possible grounds: non-compliance with the temperature regime in a heated room due to errors in designing, installation and operation of the heating system; disruption of the tightness of the heating device; End of its service life.The last base is primarily to use. WEDDARY CONSTRUCTIONS OF ALL 58-88 (P) "The Regulation on the organization and conduct of the reconstruction, repair and maintenance of residential buildings, communal and socio-cultural facilities", enacted by the Resolution of the Gosstroy of the Russian Federation of September 27, 2003. N 170 "On approval of rules and norms of the technical operation of the Housing Fund", establish for domestic heating devices service life of 15-40 years.
Opinion of a specialist
The heating device that you plan to put in your apartment instead of the builders installed by builders or the management company can be recognized as analogous to the parameters and technical device, if the rated power, as well as the working and test pressure of the new heating device, specified in its technical passport, accurately correspond to the values stated in the project of the heating system of your home. Provided that the coolant in the system of heating your home meets the requirements of clause 4.8 "Rules for the technical operation of electric stations and networks of the Russian Federation", replaceable and new heating devices must comply with each other in the following indicators:
Vitaly Sasin, Director of the Scientific and Technical Firm "Vitatem"
This means that in closed heating systems, cast-iron radiators must change after 40 years, and steel radiators and convectors - in 30 years. (In open systems, if any still exist, the duration of operation of these devices is significantly less: for steel radiators and convectors - 15 years, for pig-iron - 30 years old.) And all you need to be done in the event of this period - in the formal manner Complete that the management company will be promptly replaced by the heater. After all, as we have already said, the entire heating system in the urban high-rise building, including heating devices, is a common property of the house. AIZ RESOLUTIONS OF THE GASSTRUE OF THE RUSSIAN DAY OF 27 SEPTEMBER 2003. N 170 "On approval of rules and norms of technical operation of the Housing Fund" it follows that the replacement of individual elements of the heating system (they include radiators) - this is the current repairs. Failure to the management company or an unreasonable delay in the execution of such an application is an administrative violation under Art. 7. 22 of the Administrative Code. Contact a complaint with the hillside of your city, which is most likely initiated by repairs. If you continue to refuse, boldly direct the complaint to the prosecutor's office.

15-20. Democratic price and reliable models of radiators that are suitable by parameters and a technical device for replacing outdated heating devices (without alteration of communications, supplying coolant) in most apartments of the residential foundation (in addition to the market presented in the photo, the market offers many other options). In order for the new device to match the design of the room, you can choose the color you need - all manufacturers offer staining of models on the RAL scale in the factory. True, they carry out such work under the order (period - from 14 to 60 days) and cost a color radiator will be 10-25% more expensive than white.
If you can prove that the radiators in your apartment are faulty (for example, it appeared even a small leak), - demand to replace them immediately. At the same time, a faulty radiator, according to experts, should be replaced exclusively at the expense of monthly payments for the mainstream of the total property of an apartment building.
However, it would be naively to expect that the thermal art object would be mounted for a government account in your apartment. You will put the heating device of the same model and power as before. For houses where radiators shot from production are installed in Soviet times, the operating organization itself will select a new device for replacement (most likely the cheapest of the possible). But this approach guarantees that in the room where the radiator will be replaced, it will be warm in winter, and in case of leakage you do not have to pay for the repair of your home and apartments below.
How to find peace?
If you have already made repairs and installed new heating devices, insulating them from the effects of destruction, and our own investments in improvement, and their civil liability to third parties, you will feel more confident. Insured, civil liability can be insured or within an integrated insurance contract (it includes the insurance of the apartment and interior decoration, home property and civil liability). Usually, the person himself chooses the insurance amount depending on the expected maximum loss. The minimum cost of insurance of its own property in Moscow is 1 million rubles. and civil liability to third parties per 1 million rubles. (that is, the total responsibility of the insurance company is 2 million rubles) with a franchise of 10 thousand rubles. It is about 8-12 thousand rubles. per year and depends on the area of the apartment, the floor on which it is located, the nature of the operation of the room and other factors. However, by emergency cases, which arose as a result of independently conducted radiators, insurance, as a rule, is not paid.Or maybe ... leave?
Nowadays, many architects and designers are far from all projects replace heating devices, especially if they are technically working. After all, it is possible to organically enter the radiators in the interior, painting their heat-insulating surfaces in color, harmonizing with the decor of the apartment.
Radiators are recommended to paint with special polymer compositions that maintain the long-term effects of high temperatures. It is applied to the purified surface with anti-corrosion additives and two layers of paint. Works are carried out before the start of the heating season.
When choosing a color of paint, remember that dark items are raised best. For example, the staining of the cast-iron sectional radiator MS-140 into silver color will reduce its heat dissipation due to radiation, and as a result, the room will launch 10-15% heat. Therefore, after the heating device "degreases" in a similar way, the room can be unexpectedly cold.
