At the moment, the process of switching to gas heating is underway (a floor-standing hybrid boiler of the company "Teplodar" for a gas burner) - a gas pipe has been inserted into the house and documents are being collected.
So at this point, experts said that gas workers will not give permission to connect to gas if there is a propane gas stove was left, although it stands separately in the kitchen (I will not delve into the reasons for its connection to a natural gas). Is this requirement legal and why?
Hello. First of all, I wonder who are the “specialists” in gas equipment, except for gas workers? In addition, on all such issues, you can easily pre-consult at the local GDO, and in many regions this is possible remotely, by phone or online.
Further, for any prohibition, allegedly based on legislative acts, a written justification of the reason for the refusal should be taken. But in this situation, as I understand it, it was only advice and that, preliminary and it would be worth clarifying the factor of doubt.
As for the combination, there are no direct prohibitions, in industrial gas-fired boiler houses there are no it is recommended by fire safety rules to store gas cylinders and other fire / explosive elements. But the question is for an ordinary residential building and here one can only guess about the reasons for the doubts of the “experts”.
It seems to me that here we are talking about the rules for placing rather balloon equipment. For example, it is forbidden to store more than 1 cylinder with a capacity of more than 5 liters in a residential building. Distance from heating radiators - from 1 meter. From stoves and other sources of heating with open combustion chambers - from 5 meters.
Perhaps you simply do not fit into the standardized distances or you generally have violations in the operation of cylinders.
