documents. Despite the huge variety of hobs, gas models remain invariably popular and in demand in the home appliance market. The question of how to connect a gas stove, is set by almost everyone who has decided to try to install it independently. In fact, it's not such a difficult job, but it requires careful adherence to the rules, which we will tell you about in this article.

Preparation for the installation of the

plate In order to connect the gas cooker without additional assistance, you must purchase:

• a special gas hose, the length of which is not more than 2 m;
• paronit cushions;
• sealing tape: from Teflon - FUM, or "Loctite" thread.

The supply tap, which is on the tap, is also better replaced with a ball valve with a ½-in.

Important! To ensure that the components were of good quality, buy them in specialized stores, and not at the "flea market."The safety of the equipment depends on this.

A bit about the

hose At the moment, the connection to the gas pipeline takes place with flexible rubber hoses, bellows, corrugated metal pipe or with a hose in metal braid:

1. The most expensive, but the most durable and reliable connection is using a bellows,his service is more than 25 years.
2. The connection of gas with a hose in a metal braid, with a glued yellow strip, which means gas, costs a little less than a bellows, but at the same time their service life is no more than 5 years.
3. The most budget option is a black rubber hose that is designed for gas, and its service life is approximately 3 years.

Important! The hose must be only gas - it is strictly forbidden to install other hoses.

Tools

To connect the gas stove, you will need:

• Wrench;
• Horn key 22x24 mm;
• Flat blade screwdriver;
• Shaving brush or brush;
• Soap dish with a ready-made soap solution to check the tightness of the joint;
• Clamps to clamp the ends of the hose on the fittings.

Disconnecting the old

plate First of all, you must disconnect and then remove the old plate. To do this:

1. Turn off the tap, which is responsible for supplying gas at the bottom.
2. Then, with a key, unscrew the hose connection that feeds the gas to the plate.
3. Unscrew the locknut on the lowering, after - unscrew the coupling.
4. Use a single key to hold the tap, at the same time the spiral is twisted, which is screwed into the tap itself.
5. After this, turn out the old tap, remove the old plate and clean the space to install a new one.

Installing the new

plate Connecting the gas cooker in the apartment will not be difficult if you operate according to the following algorithm:

1. At a previously prepared area, install a new gas cooker, at a distance no further than 4 m from the gas pipeline.
2. After that, you must definitely block the general transfer of gas to the apartment, as a rule, the crane should be on your landing.
3. Remove the old tap to supply the gas to the plate itself, which is installed on the discharge.
4. Clean the thread on the bend, wrap the sealing tape around it and hook up the new ball valve.
5. The end of the valve, which remained free, must be filled with a fitting, but before tightening it, wind the sealing tape around the thread.
6. In the outlet socket of your plate, screw the union, put a rubber hose on all ends of the fittings and secure them with clamps.
7. At the junction of the hose with the plate, install a gasket with a metal mesh to prevent clogging of the device with various debris from the main pipeline. This is done to significantly extend its service life.

Important! The hose that you installed must be free to sag from the supply tap to the plate, tension is not allowed under any circumstances.

Even if you connected a gas stove yourself, it must be sealed by representatives of the gas service.

To connect the gas stove to the gas cylinder

There are such areas in which there is no main gas pipeline, therefore for the work of hobs and sometimes heating - liquefied gas is used in special cylinders.

Important! Installation of special gas equipment is allowed only by specialists of gas services. Incorrect connection of devices, as well as their subsequent operation, can lead to accidents.

But in rural areas it is necessary to wait long enough for the arrival of a specialist, and often owners of the house independently conduct both installation and connection of gas appliances.

During connection, the following rules must be observed:

• The gas cooker must always be at least 1.5 m away from the cylinder. This requirement from the list of fire safety rules. The safest option is to install the balloon outside the room, in a locked metal box.
• The room in which the cooker will be located must have excellent ventilation so that in the event of a leak, the gas can be easily removed from the room. The best option for this is the installation of the hood above the cooker.
• The balloon should never be placed closer than 1.5 m from all heating appliances under any circumstances.
• In order to connect the plate to the cylinder, in addition to all the above materials and tools, a reduction gearbox is required. This reducer lowers the very high pressure in the cylinder until it becomes operational, thereby ensuring the stable operation of the injectors. This device is installed on the gas cylinder itself.

Important! Under the fitting of your gearbox, be sure to install a sealing gasket, which is made of paronite. On the union put on a rubber hose and squeeze with the help of a yoke.

• To all outlet connections of the plate, attach the fittings, the connections are sealed with tape. After that, put the other end of the hose on the union and secure with a hose clamp.
• Then open the valve on the cylinder, check all connections for leaks with soapy foam. If you find the bubbles, the connection must be disassembled, re-sealed with tape and collected, then again check it for density.

Important! Do not forget to check the connections for density. Otherwise, the consequences can be fatal.

• If the gas cooker was prepared for operation from gas from the main line, then during its connection to a cylinder with already liquefied gas, the burners will not work well and smoke. In order to eliminate this drawback, you must replace the nozzles of the burners, nozzles with nozzles of a smaller size.

Question regarding

The very process of connecting the plate starts not with those preparatory works, as you might have thought, but with the purchase of the stove itself, and then - with extremely neat unpacking. But even after the completion of the most thorough inspection, you do not need to hurry to start work, because you still need to receive a list of special documents from the gas service.

To do this, you must provide local gas workers:

• a personal passport with a document on the composition of your family;
• special title document for housing;
• passport for the meter;
• maintenance agreement;
• gas receipts;
• subscriber's book;
• certificate that the ownership is registered.

Only after submitting all these documents to Gorgas, he will give you:

• subscriber's book with notes on the instruction on necessary rules of behavior with natural gas - you and your family members;
• certificates for gas supply to your apartment;
• contract or a copy of the contract for this very natural gas supply.

Important! After receiving all the necessary documentation, try to connect the plate in the shortest possible time. The warranty period extends exactly from the date of purchase of this household equipment, and not from the moment of its connection. Therefore, if you want to set aside a newly purchased stove for an indefinite time in a pantry or a garage - this is not a good idea.

Now you know how the gas stove is connected in an apartment and a private house. But if you have not performed such work before this time, it is better to entrust this procedure to specialists, since even a minor error in connecting the equipment or putting it into operation can cause an emergency situation with a life threat. And the information obtained from this article will allow you to complete this process more quickly and control the literacy of the actions of the masters.
