METER LOCATION

6.45 It is recommended to install devices (assemblies) for measuring gas consumption:

In a gasified room;

In non-residential premises of a gasified residential building with natural ventilation;

In the adjacent to the gasified room and the open opening connected to it in the production building and the boiler room;

In hydraulic fracturing, ShRP, GRPB;

outside the building.

6.46 As gas metering devices, it is allowed to use household gas meters (hereinafter referred to as meters), the placement of which is regulated by this subsection.

6.47 The installation of meters is provided based on the conditions for the convenience of their installation, maintenance and repair. The installation height of meters, as a rule, should be taken as 1.6 m from the floor level of the room or the ground.

6.48 In order to prevent corrosion damage to the meter coating during its installation, a gap (2-5 cm) should be provided between the meter and the structure of the building (structure) or support.

6.49 The installation of the meter indoors is envisaged outside the zone of heat and moisture release (from the stove, sink, etc.) in naturally ventilated places. It is not recommended to install meters in stagnant areas of the room (areas of the room fenced off from the ventilation duct or window, niches, etc.).

I accept the distance from the installation sites of the meters to the gas equipment! in accordance with the requirements and recommendations of manufacturers, set out in the passports of the meters. In the absence of the above requirements in the passports, the placement of meters should be provided, as a rule, at a distance (along the radius) of at least:

0.8 m from a household gas stove and gas-using heating equipment (capacitive and instantaneous water heater, boiler, heat generator);

1.0 m from the restaurant stove, digester, heating and heating-cooking stove.

6.50 Outdoor (outside the building) installation of the meter is provided under a canopy, in cabinets or other structures that provide

SP 42-J 01-2003

protection of the counter from external influences. Open installation of the counter is allowed. The placement of the counter includes:

On a separate support on the territory of the gas consumer;

On the wall of the gasified building at a horizontal distance of at least 0.5 m from door and window openings.

Placing counters under openings in the walls is not recommended.

6.51 The design of the cabinet for placing the meter must provide natural ventilation. Cabinet doors must have locks.

The installation of gas stoves in residential buildings is provided for in kitchens with a height of at least 2.2 m, having a window with a window (panel) or louvre-type structure, an exhaust ventilation duct and natural light.

The ventilation duct throughout the suit sealed and accessible for cleaning. It is brought out above the roof at least 0.5 m from the base and is equipped with a deflector at the top.

In this case, the internal volume of the room should be for a gas stove with 2 burners - 8 m 3; p.g.; with 3 burners - 12 m 3; with 4 burners - 15 m 3. In agricultural settlements, it is allowed to reduce the height of the kitchen to two meters, while the kitchen should be with natural light, and the area should be doubled compared to the required one.

If it is impossible to fulfill the specified requirements, the installation of gas stoves in such premises may be allowed in each specific case in agreement with the local sanitary supervision authority and the local gas supervision authority.

The installation of the stove should be provided against a wall made of non-combustible materials at a distance of at least 6 cm from the wall. It is allowed to install the slab near walls made of slow-burning and combustible materials, insulated with non-combustible materials (roofing steel on asbestos sheet with a thickness of at least 3 mm, plaster, etc.) at a distance of at least 7 cm from the walls. Insulation is provided from the floor and should protrude beyond the dimensions of the plate by 10 cm on each side and at least 80 cm from above. For gas stoves without thermal insulation on the side walls of the oven, the distance between these walls and the wooden walls of various furniture should be at least 150 mm in front of the stove, leave a passage of at least 1 m. installation of a small umbrella with a filter and a ventilation pump that removes polluted air into the ventilation duct.

2.7.2 Requirements for the installation of heating equipment

For heating and hot water supply, we provide heating boilers designed to operate on gas fuel.

According to DBN V.2.5-20-2001, it is not allowed to provide for the installation of more than two storage water heaters or two small-sized heating boilers or two other types of gas heating equipment in one room of residential buildings.

Gas burners of heating gas equipment that is installed in residential buildings are equipped with safety and regulation automation that meets the requirements of section 11 of DBN V.2.5-20-2001.

The installation of gas heating equipment with a total thermal power of up to 30 kW is allowed to be provided in the kitchen (regardless of the presence of a stove and instantaneous water heater) or in a separate room, the internal volume of the kitchen when installing heating equipment with the removal of combustion products into the chimney must be 6 m 3 more provided in 2.7.1.

The removal of combustion products from heating boilers with a thermal power of up to 30 kW is allowed to be carried out through the chimney or through the outer wall of the building.

When installing heating boilers, the following requirements must be observed:

- distances from the building structures of the premises to household gas stoves and gas heating equipment should be provided in accordance with the passports of manufacturers, fire safety requirements, ease of installation, operation and repair, and in accordance with the requirements of DBN V.2.5-20-2001.

The installation of wall-mounted gas equipment for heating and hot water supply should include:

On walls made of non-combustible materials at a distance of at least 2 cm from the wall (including from the side wall);

On walls made of slow-burning and combustible materials, insulated with non-combustible materials (roofing steel on asbestos sheet at least 3 mm thick, plaster, etc.) at a distance of at least 3 cm from the wall (including from the side wall).

The insulation should protrude 10 cm beyond the equipment enclosure and 70 cm above.

The clear distance from the protruding parts of the gas equipment along the front and in the places of passage must be at least 1 m.

When deciding on the possibility of connecting gas appliances with the removal of combustion products to the chimney, as well as the removal of combustion products through the outer wall of the building, one should be guided by the data given in Annex G of DBN V.2.5-20-2001.

In this project, we choose heating equipment with a hermetic combustion chamber, in which the intake of combustion air and the removal of combustion gases is carried out through the outer wall of the building.

Why were the norms for the distance to buildings and objects from the gas pipe invented? Alas, we often neglect the norms of SNIP, especially in home gardens and summer cottages. Especially disregard for the norms in the event that the threat of a fine is unlikely. But is it a penalty?

The norms in which the distance from the gas pipe is prescribed is our own safety. Non-compliance or insufficient compliance can turn into something more terrible than penalties. So is life really worth neglecting these indicators, even if it is not very convenient?

Modern standards are suitable for the design of new gas supply systems, as well as the modernization of existing ones. According to them, the main gas outlets for domestic use do not exceed a pressure of 1.6 MPa. According to the same standards, gas supply is designed in summer cottages and cottage settlements.

These standards are not suitable for gas supply systems of industrial organizations, for example, oil refineries, ferrous metallurgy and others.

Composition of the gas supply system:

• external pipelines;
• internal;
• equipment and units for control, measurement, gas supply, as well as system maintenance.

Position

So, let's talk about the design of systems and the distance of the pipes of the system from various objects.

To do this, we clarify that, according to SNIP, two types of gas pipeline are distinguished:

• underground;
• outer.

Each of the types has its own distance standards, we will consider them in more detail.

Underground

The distance from the house to the gas pipe in the embankment cannot be less than 5 m. There are special provisions of SNIP, according to which the distance can be reduced by 50%, but they are regulated by the terrain and the passage of the gas pipeline. For example, laying pipes between houses, arches, in very limited areas, etc.

The distance to the gas pipe of the outer walls of the well, chambers or other equipment of engineering networks should not be less than 30 cm. The laying must be carried out in compliance with the technical requirements and conditions. Only this can be a guarantee of security. By the way, that is why an independent transfer or organization of a gas supply system is not allowed.

The distance to air communication lines, as well as external electrical networks, cannot be less than 2 meters. The same applies to the gap between the gas pipeline and the heat transfer channels. The distance from the gas pipe to the fence, taking into account the underground laying of the highway in the villages, should be at least 50 meters. SNIP provides for a reduction in the gap, but only when taking into account certain norms prescribed in the regulations.

The depth of laying the gas pipeline should exceed 0.8 m for roads and roads with heavy passenger traffic and 0.6 m for roads with low traffic.

Ground and elevated

Aboveground wires are laid along the facades of buildings, on special supports made of materials that do not burn.

The place of laying depends on the pressure of the gas pipeline:

• up to 0.6 MPa - wiring is allowed on shelves and overpasses, as well as columns, supports and along the walls of industrial buildings;
• up to 0.3 MPa - it is allowed to lay on the walls of residential buildings and public buildings not lower than the 3rd degree of fire resistance.

It is forbidden to lay gas pipelines of any pressure for the purpose of gas transit, according to SNIP:

• on the walls of kindergartens and schools, hospitals and companies that involve a large crowd of people;
• for buildings in which the walls consist of panels and have metal sheathing with polymer insulation;
• for buildings of category "A" and "B".

It is prohibited to conduct medium and high pressure gas pipelines along the walls of residential buildings. It is also impossible to conduct a transit gas pipeline through window openings.

In areas near the ground, the pipes must be enclosed in a special case. The distance to the gas pipe from the ground horizontally cannot be less than 35 cm.

The distance from the gas pipe to the chimney must be more than 2 meters from the outside and at least a meter from the inside of the building. However, this indicator depends on many factors, for example, location, conditions of gas wiring and pipe configuration, etc.

In room

It is very important to comply with the technical conditions in the room, since often the cause of emergency situations with gas is precisely household non-compliance. In most cases, in apartments and private houses, polyethylene pipes of the gas pipeline are used. Usually they go exclusively to a gas stove or oven. But in some houses there is autonomous gas heating. And here a special boiler is already used.

In this case, the floor from the pipe must be at least 50 cm away. The same distance is from the wall to the boiler. The vertical distance to the chimney should not be less than 80 cm inside. The same distance of the pipe to the stove for cooking. The distance from the pipe to the outlet in a small room should not be less than 30 cm.

To secure a building means to secure life. That is why it is important to follow the rules and regulations specified in the SNIP.

The widespread belief that the owner of a dwelling can do whatever he wants in it is wrong. This is especially important when it comes to high-risk household equipment. The procedure for handling it is strictly regulated, and violations can lead to many undesirable consequences from a fine to an accident.

Can I install a gas stove myself? Yes, if it's only about placement in the kitchen. The connection process must be performed by a certified service. The installation of gas stoves in an apartment or a private wooden house without complying with the requirements of regulatory documentation entails the issuance by representatives of the resource supply organization of an order to eliminate violations and a possible shutdown of the gas supply before it is completed.

Do-it-yourself gas stove installation

The answer to the question of whether it is possible to install a gas stove on your own is given by the order of the Ministry of Regional Development No. 239 and a standard gas supply agreement concluded between the regional representative office and the subscriber.

According to the requirements of the law, connection to the intra-house network is carried out by a specialized gas distribution organization engaged in the maintenance and repair of in-house or in-house gas-using equipment. The obligations of the subscriber specified in the contract include timely notification of the supplier about the update of equipment.

Breach of contract allows the supplier to unilaterally suspend or restrict supply. In case of installation errors, the one who installed the gas stove in an apartment or private house on his own will be responsible for the consequences of incorrect connection, including accidents or emergencies.

When figuring out whether it is possible to install a gas stove yourself, you need to pay attention to one more important point. In case of unauthorized connections, the manufacturer is not responsible for the safety of using the equipment and disclaims warranty service obligations.

Rules for installing a gas stove in the kitchen in the apartment

The rules for installing household gas stoves in the kitchen in an apartment are specified in building codes and rules SP 42-101.

• The height of the room at the location of the equipment should be at least 2.2 m in the presence of straight and sloping ceilings.
• The allowable number of burners is determined based on the volume of the kitchen and the calculation of 4 m 3 per burner.
• The minimum distance to walls, internal partitions and kitchen furniture should be in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.
• Installation can be carried out at building structures made of non-combustible and combustible materials (subject to protective insulation).

In addition to the natural ventilation of the room, it is recommended to install an exhaust hood to reliably remove combustion products.

Installation of a gas stove in a private house

As is the case with kitchens in an apartment, installing a gas stove in a wooden house has its own rules. Even wood treated with flame retardants is a moderately combustible material. If the house is built using concrete or other non-combustible materials, the regulations remain the same, since the environment may ignite. For engineering systems of private and suburban single-family houses, SNiP 31-02 apply.

Gas stove installation standards regulate the distance between the top of the appliance and the wall, as well as the type of fire retardant coating. For this reason, the slab is located at least 10 cm from the building structure, which must be plastered or sheathed with galvanized steel on asbestos sheet.

Also, according to the requirements for installing a gas stove, it can be located in the summer kitchen or under a canopy while protecting the burners from blowing out. This allows you to use the equipment in the country during seasonal residence or in the absence of capital housing.

General requirements for installing a gas stove

It is dangerous to install a gas stove with your own hands, not only because of the lack of specialized knowledge, but also because of the risk of missing important points:

• Before connecting, it is necessary to check whether the type and pressure of the gas in the line correspond to the parameters indicated on the plate located on the rear surface of the stove or in the warranty card.
• If it is necessary to change the type of connection from natural gas to a liquefied mixture, the transfer is carried out by the same people who install the gas stove in the apartment - the personnel of a specialized organization.
• The stove with an electric oven is connected to a single-phase network and connected to a socket with a grounding contact.
• Before starting work, the gas supply is shut off, after installation, the tightness of the connections is checked.
• The stove is not connected to the chimney and is not placed on stands.
• The floor elements of the kitchen set (cabinets, countertops) are located below the level of the burners.

How to install a gas stove in the kitchen: choosing a location

Is it possible to install a gas stove in the kitchen yourself, and how to do it correctly, is detailed in the instruction manual.

The device is installed horizontally and leveled using adjustable feet, remaining stationary after connection and moving only to check the tightness of the connections. Furniture, kitchen equipment, textiles and interior items are placed at a safe distance to prevent accidental ignition.

Installation of a gas stove is carried out using a flexible connection. After connection, the hose or sleeve should not experience mechanical stress - stretch, pinch or bend. It is located so as not to come into contact with the rear wall of the appliance, which becomes very hot during operation of the oven, and does not create difficulties during inspection.
