How to choose a flexible gas hose?
In today's world, the gas connection uses highly flexible wiring and gas hoses, the length of which in the installation requires its approach. Only for its correct installation are certain norms defined. An important role in this process is still played by the maximum length of this wiring, the gas hose.
Gas service specialists define the principle of working with a flexible gas conductor:
- Choose a special rubberized gas hose that is sold in a gas supply store. Why rubber? To adhere to the rules of fire safety and life. Rubber does not miss electricity, does not store it, which means it is ideal for gas equipment. Gas hoses are divided into two types: for water and for gas.
- Select the length. Flexible hoses, whose length is 4.5 meters( permissible length), after a complete installation of gas appliances should be a little sag. It is impossible to tolerate the conductivity of any voltage on the hose, it can tear, therefore it can provoke a threat to the lives of living people throughout the house. Be aware that the maximum length will not allow much movement of the tile during cleaning or repair work.
- Define the view. The market of gas equipment for a miracle is famous for its diversity, because in specialized stores you will pick up soft and flexible models and rubber with braid and rubber with metal whip. The choice is large, in the presence of expensive and more affordable models, mainly depends on the shopkeeper's capabilities and reliability requirements.
- Keep track of what you are buying. Why? Quite often there were cases when buying a hose in the market outside the store, the buyer could have sold the water hose by negligence or ignorance. Unpleasant incidents were repeated non-recurring, and so it does not happen to you, remember what a gas hose looks like, and often it has a yellow mark, while water piping draws red marks.
- Use the services of a sales consultant. The specialist is naturally well-versed in the range, use his knowledge, and the optimal purchase option is guaranteed. Do not choose to stop on Chinese products, because, chasing the cheapness, you will lose much in quality and after a couple of months you will come for a replacement hose. Chinese products were manufactured with a saving of rubber, therefore at every pressure or voltage this hose can very soon come to working condition. A rare phenomenon is that Chinese products survive the end of their warranty line.
- Stop the choice on a hose with a diameter of 10 mm or more, because once this volume is needed for working with gas, and what can not boast of Chinese pipes. And the rubber should be such that the burner and oven work unprecedently in a quality and efficient manner.
How to connect gas hoses, length 4, 5 meters?
Commissioning it takes place with the help of a manual on gas appliances. One such is with DBN В.2.5-20-2001 Gas supply, which determines the mandatory size of the hoses for gas appliances. Your gas service project according to the guidelines should take into account the place and principle of connecting gas appliances to the gas pipeline, and the flexible gas hose will become the key cell in this process, the absence of which will lead to disruption of the entire installation procedure.
Conclusion
With all the above mentioned tips, your purchase will be ideal. The main thing to remember is the main parameters: maximum length, manufacturer, diameter, composition. And compliance with the rules will lead to the selection of the best possible and long-lasting operation of the rubber hose.
It should be noted that gas connection is the most dangerous of the communications used in everyday life. Disconnect for repair or replacement, reconnect gas appliances independently can not by law or by elementary technical safety standards.
