Connecting a gas stove to the cylinder in the country in 4 steps

Plate, designed for the use of liquefied gas (as a rule, when connecting equipment, designed for pressure from a centralized network, burners burn badly with a characteristic yellowish flame color).

In this case, suitable as a special stove for giving a balloon, and replacing the old tile nozzles with special ones for liquefied gas.

Capacity with propane-butane mixture.

Gearbox. This unit is needed to equalize the gas pressure while gradually reducing the amount of mixture in the cylinder.

Gas hose flexible rubber or semi-flexible bellows hose. According to the norms of the S & P, the cylinder is installed no closer than 1 m relative to a stove or heating devices.

At the same time the hose should be located freely, without tension. Therefore, it will need to buy about a meter more than is required.

Connecting elements. Fittings and screw clamps for rubber hose.

In case of using bellows hoses - threaded adapters.

Soap solution to check for possible gas leakage after installation.

The gas stove before connection should already be installed in its place:

1. We connect the hose to the outlet pipe of the plate, wrapping it around the opening of the pipe and tightening it with a hose clamp.
2. In the case of threaded adapters, it is sufficient to screw them tightly onto the pipe thread, pre-winding the sealing tape on the thread.
3. All manipulations are carried out without a cylinder connected, that is, the other end of the hose is not connected to it.

When using gas appliances that receive fuel from a centralized gas supply system, the presence of this element is optional. However, the use of liquefied bottled gas requires a gearbox to equalize the pressure of the effluent:

1. The reducer is installed using an adapter at the outlet of the gas cylinder; it is necessary to use a sealing fum tape.
2. At the outlet of the gearbox is installed a gas hose, which is fixed with a clamp.

The location of the container must comply with all regulations and safety requirements. It can be installed both in the room where the stove is located, and in the next or in a specialized box on the street or utility room.

To properly install the cylinder, you must comply with the following conditions:

1. Do not install equipment in basements, basements, semi-basements, buildings above two floors.
2. The distance from the heating devices and gas stoves should not be less than 1 m.
3. A metal cabinet for a balloon, located on the street, must protect it not only from precipitation, sunlight, but also from freezing, therefore it must be warmed and heated.
4. The cylinder must be located on a clean, dry, level surface. If this is a floor in a special cabinet, then the balloon itself is placed on a pallet or slats, not on the very bottom.

The connection of the cylinder to the stove is checked using a concentrated soap solution:

1. The solution is prepared from soap and warm water, whipped to a light foam.
2. Using a sponge or cloth, apply the solution to the joints of the gas hose and all the elements.
3. If soap bubbles appear - there is a leak. Otherwise, you did everything right.

If we were able to verify the tightness of the connection, set the required pressure on the gearbox and open the cylinder screw to start the gas in the system.

Turn on the burners and evaluate the color and quality of the flame: if it is bluish-green and even, then the pressure is normal.

Frost-resistant mixture does not require insulation and evaporates at air temperature down to -40 ° C
