During the Soviet era, the connection of the gas stove to the gas pipeline was subject to more stringent regulations. In them, the only possible option was to connect using a rigid pipe. The gas was led to the plate by a metal pipe. For corners, corners, knees were used. And so move the slab was impossible, even a small wet cleaning was accompanied by difficulties.
Nowadays, in connection with the appearance of new materials, the use of flexible pipes is permitted. But, it is very important to follow all the rules and correctly connect the gas.
Application of
The gas hose should have a slight sag. Therefore, you need to clearly define the length. The length should be determined based on the laying conditions. And the distance from the junction with the gas pipe before entering the column. It is necessary to pay attention to the thread that is placed on this input. The tip of the connector must also fit the diameter. If the diameters are different - you need to use a special adapter.
It should be taken into account that the maximum length of such a hose will be 4.5 meters. Strong tension is not permissible. This can lead to deformation and, as a consequence, lead to leakage. A small margin will allow you to slightly move the slab, in case of repair or wet cleaning.
The gas hose is marked in yellow. The water hose has a red or blue marking.
Tips for choosing
Here is a small list of pipes that shops offer, for connecting gas appliances. But, remember to use only specialized gas hoses. And never use water hoses.
- Rubber reinforced hose. Budget option. It has good dielectric properties. True, the disadvantage of such a product is that it is prone to rapid destruction and the appearance of cracks.
- Rubber hose in metal braid. Unlike its previous colleague, it is resistant to mechanical damage. But, thanks to the braid, it is impossible to inspect the gas-conducting tube and, if it is defective, a leakage spot can not be found. A disadvantage is also the absence of a dielectric.
- Metal bellows hose. Durable, reliable, able to stretch and hold the desired angle. There are drawbacks. High price, compared with rubber hoses. Also there is no dielectric. But, the most significant disadvantage is the possibility of burn holes in such wiring. If no dielectric insert is installed.
In any case, it will be superfluous to ask the seller to give a recommendation. Based on their experience, they will advise you the best option. Do not buy a product of questionable production. Follow these rules and the installation will go like clockwork.
Another tip for the hose to have good throughput, do not use hoses less than 10 mm in diameter.
The following video will clearly show and tell how to correctly and safely connect the gas column to the gas pipeline.
