Peti Installation Step‑by‑Step
1. Pre‑installation preparation
- Verify model & site: Confirm Peti model dimensions, power requirements, and delivery clearances.
- Gather permits: Check local permits or HOA rules if required.
- Tools & materials: Tape measure, level, drill, appropriate fasteners, sealant, safety gear.
2. Site inspection & marking
- Inspect substrate: Ensure mounting surface is level, structurally sound, and free of obstructions (pipes, wiring).
- Mark mounting points: Use the unit’s template or brackets to mark anchor locations.
3. Electrical & utilities (if applicable)
- Power supply: Confirm circuit capacity and route wiring per manufacturer specs. Turn off power before work.
- Grounding & GFCI: Install proper grounding and GFCI protection where required.
- Professional check: For hardwired or high-voltage units, hire a licensed electrician.
4. Mounting the unit
- Position & secure: Lift Peti into place (use help for heavy units), align with marks, and fasten using recommended anchors.
- Level & shim: Ensure unit is level; use shims where needed and tighten fasteners evenly.
- Weatherproofing: Apply sealant around penetrations and mounting flanges.
5. Connecting services
- Electrical hookup: Connect per wiring diagram; use proper connectors and strain reliefs. Restore power only after all connections are secured.
- Plumbing/drainage: If the unit requires drainage, connect per instructions and test for leaks.
- Network/integrations: Connect any smart controls following manufacturer setup steps.
6. Testing & commissioning
- Initial power‑on: Power the unit and monitor for error codes, unusual noises, or odors.
- Functional test: Run all modes and controls; verify thermostats, timers, sensors, and safety cutoffs.
- Leak and vibration check: Inspect for water leaks, loose fittings, and excessive vibration.
7. Handover & documentation
- User briefing: Show operating basics, maintenance points, and emergency shutdown.
- Record keeping: Save model, serial number, install date, photos, and warranty registration.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Skipping site verification: Leads to clearance, access, or structural failures.
- Improper anchoring: Using wrong fasteners for substrate causes loosening or collapse.
- Incorrect electrical work: DIY high‑voltage wiring risks safety and code violations.
- Poor leveling: Causes drainage issues, noise, or premature wear.
- Inadequate sealing: Allows water ingress and corrosion.
- Rushing commissioning: Failing to test all functions can hide defects.
- Not registering warranty: Missed coverage for defects or parts.
