It takes ~ 2 minutes to readConnecting a gas stove is a fairly responsible action. But if you arm yourself with useful knowledge, watch a video, complete all the steps, you can install this device correctly, for free, and no worse than professionals do.
Then you do not have to spend the whole day waiting for the master from the gas engineering service, signing up in advance for a week or more. And the cost of services (in Moscow several thousand rubles) of a service center representative can be saved. And in the future, the question: "How to connect a gas stove in the apartment yourself?" For you will go into the category of completed.
What documents are needed to install gas equipment?
- A document on the right to ownership of housing and a certificate of state registration.
- Passport to the gas meter.
- Registration certificate for housing.
- Maintenance contract and previous gas subscriber book - if any. In the absence - is subsequently concluded.
You should listen to instruction on the rules of operation of the device, sign a contract and only then carry out a replacement of equipment.
We remove the old stove and prepare for the installation of a new
You can connect the gas stove for several hours. Pay attention to the level of the floor - it is even and strong, without bursting, it will ensure the stove to work perfectly. A model with electric oven, piezo ignition or backlight must have a socket in the public domain.
When installing old equipment, the main problems may be sour threads on metal pipes or an overhead tap. At this point, there is a danger of gas leakage. Therefore, you should close the doors to the remaining rooms and ventilate the kitchen well. After dismantling the old appliance, an outlet is usually installed, the floor is leveled and other necessary work is carried out.
The sequence of actions:
- Free the plate from the packaging, remove the clips and the film. Remove the trays with baking sheets and remove their side.
- Read the operating instructions and installation drawings. If all sizes and settings are observed, the equipment will work safely and without failures.
- You can install the plate strictly horizontally with the help of twisting legs or level. If there are no adjusting elements, measure the height with a tape measure and level it under it.
We connect equipment - we select a hose and we connect a lowering
How to connect a gas stove with a flexible hose? The rubber sleeve is good due to the absence of a hard mount. You can move the device and select the distance you need (up to 4 meters). In addition, the hose is also a kind of shock absorber. Even if you slide the stove, there will be no gas leak.
The hose has been used for at least 10 years. A reinforced metal braid with yellow marks is suitable for gas pipelines, but blue and red are used only in water supply. Another option is a dielectric braided bellows sleeve. When buying a hose from a seller, be sure to get a product certificate. This document will then need to be presented to the Gorgaz employee who will check your equipment.
Pay attention to the end of the hose. If the plate has a downward curved outlet (the so-called corner), then a similar hose should be bought. There are also different thread sizes. Most stoves use 1/2, but there are 3/8. Then you can not do without an additional adapter.
It is important to know the diameter inside the hose. If it is less than 1 centimeter, then at low pressure, or all the burners are turned on, the device will work with an insufficient heat transfer coefficient and produce volatile harmful substances.
The sequence of actions:
- Secure the new ball valve to the lowering. Petals have not been used for a long time, so it should be replaced.
- The plate to the lowering (pipe with a closing valve) is connected as follows: the hose fitting is wrapped with fum tape or sealant. Then it is screwed into a ball valve, and the second end is connected to the outlet of the stove. It is also necessary to place a gasket with a metal mesh there, which will extend the life of the product and protect it from pollution.
- When using bottled gas (propane-butane), you can not do without a gearbox, fitting and a special nozzle. The fitting through the gasket is screwed onto the plate nozzle, the gearbox through the gasket is connected to the cylinder.
- The last stage is tightening with open-end wrenches. Seal the hole in the lowering with fum tape or another sealant with anaerobic sealant. If the plate will not be connected in the next couple of days, you should install a plastic plug on the new tap to avoid leakage.
- Open the valve, turn on the gas. Using soap suds, check all screw points for leaks several times.
- Take turns to revise the burners and the oven. Close all windows, and within half an hour make sure that there is no smell of gas in the room. Separately, check the serviceability of all electrical systems.
Rules for the performance of work - take care of your safety!
The rules for connecting a gas stove in an apartment should be followed very accurately, since the device is a source of potential threat and the responsibility is very high. And only if all the rules are observed, the installation of a gas stove with your own hands will be the best.
It is forbidden to seal gas pipeline joints with plastic or rubber gaskets. This can only be done with fluoroplastic or paronite, fum tape or tow, additionally impregnated with sealant.
When connecting, it is necessary to simultaneously change the overlapping flap valves to ball valves. These are more reliable and modern valves. Today, the whole world is installing a gas detector next to the stove, which saves many lives.
If you cannot completely shut off the gas supply, it is forbidden to perform welding in the room, use a soldering iron or grinder.
Gas equipment must be periodically inspected and all problems encountered. To do this, you must have access to inspect the sleeve and all points of accession. In no case should you hide the hose in closed boxes, sew it with drywall. Gas, accumulating in a limited space, explodes.
Never place the plate close to the wall. There should always be a gap. This is indicated in the instructions, and the distance depends on the type of product and its design features.
It is forbidden to paint the hose with any paint. There should be only two official connections in it (with a tap and gas stove). For all others, a penalty is issued from Gorgaz.
