Room for installation of a wall-mounted gas boiler. What rules for installing a gas boiler in a private house must be observed. How and how to finish the walls behind a gas boiler

Many of those who are going to equip their home or cottage with heating equipment are wondering if it is possible to install a gas boiler in the kitchen, or should only a special room be used for this purpose. It should be said right away that the rules for installing heating boilers of this type allow their installation in a kitchen room, but certain requirements should be strictly adhered to in order to ensure the safe operation of such equipment in the kitchen.

Advantages and disadvantages of using gas-type boilers

The high popularity of gas heating equipment, which, subject to certain requirements for the premises, can also be installed in the kitchen, is due to a number of reasons. These include:

• long service life;
• high reliability of boilers of this type;
• the possibility of using for heating rooms characterized by a large area;
• sufficiently high efficiency;
• the ability to choose a model from a fairly large assortment in a certain design and with the required set of options;
• ease of operation, management and maintenance;
• availability and low price of the energy carrier used - gas;
• rather low cost of equipment.

Meanwhile, gas equipment also has disadvantages, which include the following parameters.

• Such equipment can only work if there is gas in the pipeline connected to it.
• It is possible to install such equipment in a private house or in a country house only if the appropriate permission has been obtained for this.
• If the gas pressure in the pipeline drops, then this leads not only to a decrease in the efficiency of the boiler, but also to the formation of a significant amount of soot during its operation.
• Sufficiently high complexity of installation of both the boiler itself and the chimney and ventilation system.

Varieties of gas heating equipment

Modern industry produces a fairly large variety of types of equipment for equipping a gas boiler room or for installation in any other non-residential premises, which allows users of such devices to optimally select them in full accordance with their requirements and financial capabilities. So, depending on a number of parameters, boilers can be:

• single-circuit or double-circuit type;
• with a combustion chamber of a closed or open type;
• equipped with various ignition systems;
• with a boiler for heating water of external or internal type;
• floor-mounted or wall-mounted.

In addition, of course, kitchen heaters differ in their power.

Differences between single and double-circuit gas boilers

Single-circuit and double-circuit boilers for the kitchen differ not only in the number of circuits in their design, but also in functionality. So, single-circuit type equipment can only be used for heating, and a double-circuit gas boiler can also be used to heat water for domestic and household needs. Meanwhile, if you equip a single-circuit boiler with an external boiler, then it can also be used to heat water for the needs of hot water supply in the kitchen.

Gas boilers with closed and open combustion chambers

The air in boilers with an open combustion chamber comes directly from the kitchen, and the exhaust gases naturally escape through the chimney. Installing a boiler of this type in the kitchen is not the best option, since when it works in the kitchen, the amount of air decreases, which is especially critical if the volume of the room is small. Boilers with a closed combustion chamber operate on a slightly different principle, air is supplied to them from the street through a special coaxial-type chimney and the gases formed during the combustion process are discharged through it. The installation site of a boiler with a closed combustion chamber can even be small kitchens (6–8 m 2), where it is allowed to install them inside the kitchen furniture cabinets.

Differences in gas boilers by type of ignition

On heaters, depending on the model, automatic and manual ignition systems can be installed. In devices of the first type, the burner automatically turns on at the moment when gas begins to flow into it, and when using the type with manual ignition, accordingly, you will have to carry out such a process yourself using matches or a lighter.

Gas boilers with external and built-in boilers

Naturally, it is much more convenient when a boiler is used along with a gas boiler, in which water is heated, designed to meet domestic and household needs. Such boilers for the kitchen, as mentioned above, can be external and built into the boiler itself. Devices with built-in boilers are compact in size, such options are easier to install, but the volume of the tank that is built into them is quite small. Boilers with an external boiler can have almost any tank volume, but such devices, which should be taken into account when choosing them, take up more space, and in order to install them, it will be necessary to equip additional communications.

Rules for installing a gas boiler in the kitchen

In order to put the boiler in the kitchen and not experience problems with such equipment in terms of its operation and maintenance, you should strictly adhere to the requirements specified in SNiPs. These requirements for the installation of a gas boiler, which should also be followed when replacing an old appliance with a new one, stipulate a number of parameters, which include: the location of the equipment relative to plumbing fixtures, windows and hoods; the distance at which the side walls of the device should be located from the walls of the room; installation height of a wall-mounted gas boiler from the floor, etc.

According to the above parameters, the installation of a gas boiler in the kitchen is allowed if the kitchen is not used as a living room.

The most common today are two ways to install gas equipment in the kitchen:

1. Installing a gas appliance in a special box, which, in turn, is mounted in one of the furniture elements in the kitchen. Having decided to choose this option, it should be borne in mind that installing the boiler in the kitchen in this way, according to safety requirements, is not possible in all cases.
2. Installation of a boiler equipped with a decorative front panel. This is convenient, since the modern market offers a wide variety of gas boilers with different decorative finishes, which makes it possible to optimally choose a boiler for almost any interior.

Basic requirements for the installation of gas heating boilers in the kitchen

The layout and equipment of the kitchen, if it is planned to place a gas heating boiler in it, should immediately provide for the requirements for the installation of such equipment. Such requirements, in particular, determine the following parameters of the kitchen:

1. The presence of a door in the kitchen, which is necessary for its isolation from the living quarters of the house.
2. The presence of a window opening in the kitchen and its dimensions. The requirements for this parameter are the minimum.
3. Availability of supply and exhaust ventilation in the kitchen.
4. The presence in the equipped kitchen of electrical outlets and gas supply pipes and the distance from them to the installed heating boiler.
5. The presence of a smoke exhaust system in the kitchen.

Basic standards for placing a floor gas boiler

It should be borne in mind that the requirement regarding the presence of a door in the kitchen in which the gas boiler is installed is very important, since the room in which such equipment is operated must be isolated from the living rooms.

In addition, it is very important to leave a certain distance from the wall of the boiler itself to the wall of the room, since the air around such equipment must circulate freely, which is very important to ensure the safety of its use.

The presence in the kitchen, in which a gas boiler is installed, air vents and ventilation systems

The list of requirements relating to kitchen premises in which a gas boiler is used clearly states that windows that are installed in such premises must be equipped with vents without fail. Thus, according to this requirement, if metal-plastic windows are installed in the kitchen room, in which there are no vents, then this is a violation of safety standards. Meanwhile, in the overwhelming majority of cases, representatives of gas services do not pay attention to such a violation of requirements.

The need for a window in the windows of a kitchen room equipped with a gas boiler, as well as a convection hole in the door leaf, is explained by the fact that the air in such a room must constantly circulate so that it does not create a high concentration of volatile substances dangerous to human life.

In the event that the gas boiler will be mounted in the inside of the kitchen cabinet, then you should especially carefully ensure that such equipment is located in the path of air flow in the kitchen room. In addition, with this option for placing a gas boiler, it is necessary to provide for the presence of convection holes in the doors of the kitchen cabinet itself, in which the heating equipment will be located.

When operating a heating gas boiler of any type inside the kitchen, the air in such a room is burned in any case, which explains the requirements according to which a ventilation system must be installed in kitchens with gas heating equipment.

In addition to the very fact of the presence of such a system in a kitchen with a gas boiler, certain requirements are also imposed on the rules for its installation.

• The hood that will serve the gas boiler must not be connected to the kitchen exhaust duct, it must be installed in a separate duct.
• The diameter of the ventilation duct to which the gas boiler exhaust will be connected must be calculated taking into account the performance of the heating equipment.
• In the room in which the gas boiler and the exhaust ventilation system for its maintenance will be operated, a certain air exchange must be provided, the specific value of which is stipulated by the requirements of SNiPa 31-01 of 2003. According to the requirements of this regulatory document, when operating gas boilers with atmospheric burners, double air exchange is taken into account, and when using equipment with a closed combustion chamber, single air exchange is taken into account.

Recommendations for choosing a gas boiler for installation in the kitchen

Before studying the requirements for the installation of a gas boiler in the kitchen, you should decide on the choice of the equipment itself. So, the main parameters that you should pay attention to when choosing are:

• power;
• the number of circuits in the design;
• type of combustion chamber;
• type of instalation;
• type of heat exchanger used;
• the volume of the tank of the built-in or external boiler;
• brand under which the equipment is produced.

In addition, when choosing heating boilers, one should take into account such parameters as fuel and electricity consumption, as well as the amount of water that such a device can heat per unit time.

Installation of a gas boiler and its connection to the system is the most effective way to organize heat supply in a house or apartment. Control services have special requirements for the premises. To install a gas boiler, it is necessary to carry out a number of preparatory work.

The installation of equipment is preceded by measures to adapt the premises in accordance with applicable requirements. They are detailed in the Technical Specifications issued by Oblgaz or Gorgaz. This is true for the organization of heating on liquefied or natural gas. But usually, in the latter case, the issuance of an official permit is neglected, which can lead to a serious fine and a ban on the use of the existing heat supply system.

The document regulating the requirements for the premises for the installation of gas heating boilers is developed on the basis of the following regulations:

• SNiP 31-02-2001. Designed to control construction work and design of buildings.
• SNiP 42-01-2002. Describes the rules for organizing gas distribution systems.
• SNiP II-35-76 in the latest edition of 2012. They are guided by the choice of boilers and similar gas equipment.
• SNiP 42-01-2002 and SP 41-104-2000. Needed to comply with standards when designing autonomous sources of heat supply.

It can take a long time to study these documents. In fact, about 20% of their content is devoted to the organization of domestic heat supply using gas boilers. To avoid wasting time, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with useful excerpts from regulations.

Requirements for the organization of the boiler room

If the boiler power does not exceed 200 kW, any built-in rooms of the house can be used as a boiler room. These include basement and basement rooms. For boilers up to 30 kW, the minimum room volume must be at least 7.5 m³. Accordingly, for equipment from 30 to 60 kW - 13.5 m³, more than 60 kW - from 15 m³. You also need to take into account other characteristics of the boiler room.

These include the following requirements:

• vent area for gas boilers up to 30 kW - 0.02 m², from 30 to 200 kW - 0.025 m² ();
• the distance from the protruding parts of the equipment to the walls is regulated by the manufacturer;
• the presence of a transom or window to reduce the concentration of gas in case of leakage, providing a three-fold replacement of air in 1 hour;
• natural and artificial lighting of the room, the ratio of window area to volume - 0.03 m² per 1 m³;
• if the boiler room is located on the first or basement floor, they must equip a separate passage, the door must open outward;
• ceiling height - not less than 2.5 m;
• a refractory material is installed on the walls in the boiler installation area, the fire resistance limit of which is at least 0.75 hours.

Placement of heat supply components is free. The main requirement is that nearby objects should not interfere with repair or maintenance work.

Characteristics of the kitchen for the installation of a gas boiler

The power of most gas boilers rarely exceeds 30 kW. This makes it possible to install them in the kitchen of a house or apartment. This is also done by agreement of the controlling organizations. Many of the above rules apply for this case, but given the specifics of the premises, there are additional ones. for a boiler with an open combustion chamber, three air exchanges are provided within one hour;

In practice, preparing the kitchen will require much less effort. Thus, ventilation can be provided by installing a lattice or a gap of 0.02 m² in the lower part of the door.

These rules are not "ultimate truth". The main document for preparing the boiler room for the installation of gas equipment will be the Technical Conditions.

Gas heating boilers are a great way to create a space heating system. They are quite economical and are able to demonstrate a decent efficiency. However, such heating systems are sources of increased danger and, therefore, during the construction process, it is necessary to follow the rules for installing a gas boiler.

First of all, please note that all equipment designed to work with gas (be it a boiler, pipes, connecting fittings or other devices) must have the appropriate certificate. It is impossible to use equipment designed, for example, for plumbing systems to create gas communications. As a rule, the installation of gas boilers and heating systems based on such devices also requires the involvement of workers with the appropriate permit and training. But in extreme cases, you can install a heating system based on a gas boiler yourself.

Uniform rules for installing gas boilers in homes

To ensure the trouble-free and safe operation of gas heating equipment, a number of strict, but fairly simple rules must be observed.

Requirements for a boiler room

First of all, remember that natural gas is an extremely flammable substance and its use in unprepared and inappropriate premises can lead to very unpleasant consequences.

However, gas heating boilers with a capacity of up to 60 kilowatts can be installed in any, even unprepared premises. But at the same time, the boilers must be single-circuit. In the event that the heating boiler has a second circuit, its installation in the kitchen is prohibited.

To install gas heating boilers with a capacity of up to 150 kilowatts, you can choose any floor of your home. However, if you plan to install a more powerful heating system, then it can only be placed in the basement or basement.

Please note that according to existing standards, for 1 kilowatt of gas boiler power, there should be 0.2 cubic meters of the volume of the room in which it is installed. Also, the gas boiler room in a private house should have a ceiling height of at least 2.5 meters and provide convenient access to any of the elements of the heating system. The walls of the gas boiler room must be fire resistant with an indicator of at least ¾ hours. As with other placement options, a separate gas boiler room should have natural light, that is, it should have a window in the outer wall of the house.

Requirements for chimneys of gas boilers

Chimneys of gas boilers of heating systems also have their own installation rules. Incorrect operation can lead to the accumulation of combustion products and to tragic consequences.

The required minimum chimney diameter is indicated in the specification for your gas boiler. At the same time, its inlet section must coincide with the section of the outlet of the gas boiler.

To ensure the removal of combustion products, the upper edge of the chimney must be placed at least half a meter from the roof ridge. As a rule, round chimneys are used for gas heating, the walls of which are made of ferrous metal or stainless steel.

When creating a project for a heating system, it is necessary to ensure that the chimney of a gas boiler has no more than three bends or turns. The initial section of the chimney directly adjacent to the gas boiler must be at least 25 centimeters.

Obtaining permits

Due to the fact that gas heating is a source of increased danger, a number of permits must be obtained before its installation.

At the initial stage, it is necessary to secure the connection to the gas supply pipe by contract. Before the construction of the heating system, a gasification project is developed and approved. Only after the approval of the project in the authorized organization, it is possible to proceed with the purchase of equipment and directly with the installation.

Rules for installing a wall-mounted gas boiler

After the approval of the project, at the stage of purchase, be sure to check the availability of mounting devices in the scope of delivery. If the manufacturer did not include them in the kit, they must be purchased separately. Be sure to ask for a certificate for the purchased gas boiler. Check the marking of the boiler and the information specified in the safety certificate.

At the preliminary stage of installation, carefully blow out the internal piping system of the boiler. Remove all transport plugs. The pipes are cleaned with a low pressure water stream, the water will remove small debris and dust.

Make sure that the material of the wall on which you plan to place the gas boiler is made of non-combustible material. Otherwise, it must be reinforced with a fireproof coating with a thickness of more than 3 mm. The boiler itself, with this placement, must be taken out no less than 45 mm from the wall surface.

The installation height of the gas boiler is 80 to 160 cm. At a distance of at least 20 cm from it, there should not be other electrical or gas equipment, or any flammable materials.

When installing mounting brackets, check with a spirit level that they are horizontal and vertical.

In the event that the design of a gas boiler requires draft in the chimney, we form and check the ways for the output of combustion products. There are also so-called "non-chimney" boilers, in which combustion products are removed by forced air circulation through an exhaust fan.

Gas connection to the boiler is carried out with the obligatory participation of a certified specialist. During installation, only metal pipes and special connecting devices are used.

If your gas boiler has electrical appliances, we connect it to the mains through a separate circuit breaker for short circuit and overheating.

The first start-up of a gas heating boiler must be carried out in the presence of a specialist from the gas company, after carefully checking that all installation rules have been complied with.

Rules for installing a floor-standing gas boiler

Floor gas boilers have more power than wall-mounted ones and require more stringent installation rules.

When installing a floor-standing boiler, as a rule, an extensive heating system is also installed, distributing heat to several rooms or several floors. Therefore, even before buying a boiler, it is necessary to draw up a project of the heating system and understand the location of all its elements, including the correspondence of the location of the outlet pipes of the floor boiler to the inlet pipes of the heating system.

The floor boiler can also be installed on a solid wooden floor, however (unlike concrete) it must be protected with galvanized iron or clinker tiles. In this case, the non-combustible base must extend beyond the front side of the boiler by at least half a meter.

As well as the wall-mounted version, floor-standing gas boilers are carefully calibrated according to the building level during installation. When installing such boilers, a high-quality chimney system is necessarily equipped.

Water heating systems based on gas boilers require the installation of a hardness filter for the incoming water flow.

Please note that each water supply and intake pipe must be equipped with devices that facilitate their dismantling. This is done in order to replace any of the elements of the system in case of repair. Valves are also installed on all pipes.

The rules for installing a floor-standing gas boiler also require its connection and first start-up only with the participation of a specialist from a gas company.

Gas boiler installation rules: training video

At home, by definition, it should be warm. It can be provided in a variety of ways. However, a prudent owner strives to do this as efficiently and economically as possible. These options include installing a wall-mounted gas boiler. And this is quite justified, since gas heating is very profitable, and the equipment is quite simple to operate and install.

If you also began to think about purchasing a wall-mounted heating boiler, then be sure to read our material. In it, we will try to tell you in as much detail as possible about the principles of operation of such equipment and the types of wall-mounted devices. And also consider all the nuances of connecting such a system.

The installation and connection of the heater depends on its type. Therefore, you need to understand exactly how the device works and which of its varieties you have to deal with.

boiler room requirements

Gas equipment belongs to the category of explosion and fire hazard. Therefore, special requirements are imposed on the room in which it will be installed.

First of all, it should have natural light. At the same time, for each cubic meter of the room there should be at least 0.03 square meters. m of window opening without a frame, that is, only glazing. The window must be equipped with a window.

The wall on which the gas boiler is installed must be finished with non-combustible materials

Another prerequisite is the presence, which can provide a change in the air volume of the room within 3 times in one hour. In this way, gas pollution in the room can be minimized.

For heaters, the power of which varies from 30 to 60 kW, a furnace with a volume of 13.5 cubic meters will be required. m and above. If the heater is placed in the apartment, it is usually installed in the kitchen.

This is possible if all the requirements of SNiPs are met. An important nuance: in this case, the total heat output from all heating appliances located in the kitchen should not exceed 150 kW.

According to the installation standards for wall-mounted gas boilers, in order to improve air exchange in the kitchen door, it is necessary to make a hole with an area of ​​at least 0.02 sq.m and close it with a grate.

Requirements for the installation of gas heating equipment are regulated by SP-41-104-2000 and SNiP 42-01-2002. Compliance with installation standards guarantees safe operation

It is optimal that the materials with which the room is finished have a time limit of fire resistance of at least 45 minutes. It is desirable that the layout of the premises prevent the rapid spread of flames to living rooms.

Fixing the gas boiler can only be done on a solid foundation. Partitions made of plywood or drywall are not suitable for these purposes. The wall on which the heater will be placed must be finished with refractory materials.

If this is not the case, a non-combustible substrate is mounted under the boiler. The minimum distance from the device to supporting structures is 0.5 m to the ceiling or walls and 0.8 m to the floor.

In the photo one of the options for connecting a wall-mounted gas boiler

Step by step equipment installation

Before installation, you need to unpack a brand new boiler and check the completeness of the delivery. The presence of parts is checked according to the operating instructions, which must be attached to the device.

If any item is missing, contact the supplier immediately. One more nuance. The boiler must have a perfect appearance without dents, chips and signs of repairs. If this is not the case, you need to call the sellers.

It is important to make sure that the technical data indicated in the technical passport of the heater exactly match those printed on the device itself. In addition, they must correspond to the numbers indicated in the operating instructions for the device.

Immediately before starting the installation, it is necessary to flush the boiler pipes, which may contain various debris that got inside during the manufacture of the device and its transportation.

Installation of a gas boiler involves the connection of heating pipes, water supply and gas mains, as well as the arrangement of a chimney

It is also advisable to rinse and. After the preparation is over, you can proceed with the installation.

The specifics and procedure for its implementation are determined by the features of the equipment: the number of circuits involved and the type of combustion chamber.

Most often, double-circuit appliances with a closed firebox are installed in houses. Let's take a closer look at the installation of just such a modification.

Step #1 - Preparing the Wall Mount

To fix gas boilers, a special bracket is used, which should be included with the device. Reliable fasteners are used for its installation on the wall. They should be selected according to the material from which the wall is made.

It is possible that those that the manufacturer packed with the heater will not work. Then you will need to choose and purchase others.

The task of the bracket is to support the weight of the boiler and additional equipment, as well as to ensure that it is in an even, well-calibrated position without distortions.

For accurate marking of the wall, you can use a paper stencil, which usually comes with the boiler. With it, you can easily mark holes for fasteners.

After this is done, the bracket is fixed in place and the boiler is hung on it.

Heating pipes are connected to the corresponding branch pipes of gas equipment. You can determine their location from the photo

Stage # 2 - connecting the pipes of the heating system

Depending on the type of heating system, and it may be or, the number of pipes connected to the boiler may vary. In any case, we start by removing the plugs from the nozzles of the device.

To protect the boiler from the ingress of dirt particles from the heating main, it is recommended to install a strainer at the return inlet.

If the water in the system is hard or otherwise does not meet the requirements stated by the heater manufacturer, you should take care to install additional treatment equipment.

These can be, for example, polyphosphate dispensers. If this is not done, the device will quickly break down. All connections must be made in compliance with all rules and regulations.

Sealing is required. For this, special sealants are used: traditional paint or tow or modern thread seals. In addition, experts recommend the mandatory installation of shut-off valves for supply and return.

This is necessary to facilitate the repair of the boiler if it fails. In addition, fittings will help prevent possible airing of radiators.

Water filter - an element that must be installed when connecting a gas boiler to a water circuit

Stage #3 - connection to the water circuit

These works are almost the same as connecting heating pipes. The main difference lies in the taps used and the diameter of the pipes.

The cold water supply must be equipped with a filter, which will eliminate the possibility of particles of contaminants entering the heater. Otherwise, the equipment will be damaged.

The taps used to cut off the boiler from the water supply must be with detachable connections.

Such models are also called "American". They greatly simplify installation, and in case of unforeseen situations, they make it possible to replace a worn-out crane as quickly as possible.

It must be remembered that the pipes supplying cold water are located on the heater on the left side relative to the center, supplying hot water - on the right.

Stage #4 - connection to the gas main

This part of the work should only be carried out by a licensed specialist, since the cost of a mistake can be very high. In any case, at the end of the connection, its correctness must be checked by a representative of the gas service. He will also conduct the first launch of the equipment.

All operations during independent work must be carried out with the utmost care. Start by connecting the branch pipe of the gas main to the corresponding pipe on the boiler.

When connecting the boiler to the gas main, only tow can be used to seal the threaded connection, otherwise it will not be possible to achieve the required tightness

A special filter must be installed on the valve that cuts off the gas supply from the main. Experts strongly recommend not to save on this detail.

A cheap low-quality filter will not last long, which can cause the gas boiler to fail. When arranging the connection, special attention should be paid to its sealing.

It must be understood that the weight of gas is much less than air, and if the connection is not tight enough, it will ooze out of the pipeline. The consequences can be the most deplorable. Therefore, careful sealing is required.

The main materials for sealing the threaded connection are paint and tow; the use of fum-tape seals is unacceptable.

After the filtration element, a special flexible connection is installed. You need to know that the use of rubber hoses for its arrangement is strictly prohibited.

This is due to the fact that over time, the material from which the part is made dries out and becomes covered with cracks through which gas begins to leak. Therefore, the best choice for arranging such a connection is a corrugated hose.

Corrugated hose is a good choice for connecting the appliance to the gas line. It is strong enough, durable and does not collapse under the influence of gas.

For its manufacture, high-quality durable stainless steel is taken. This is a very strong and durable material, which is particularly resistant to high humidity and the adverse effects of gas.

The hose is attached to the heater outlet with a union nut. In this case, a paranitic gasket is necessarily used, which provides the necessary sealing of the joint.

Stage # 5 - connecting to the electrical network

This operation is only necessary for appliances with a closed firebox that need electricity. It feeds the fan, which removes combustion products, and the automation that controls the system.

Usually a standard three-wire connection is used. Experts recommend connecting the boiler to the network only through a stabilizer, which will make it possible to avoid power surges and thereby extend the life of the boiler.

If you live in an area where there are frequent power outages, then additionally
it is advisable to purchase an uninterruptible power supply - this will protect the equipment from sudden surges
voltage

Stage # 6 - arrangement of the chimney outlet

The easiest way is to connect a heater with a closed firebox to the chimney. For them, special coaxial pipes are used. In apartment buildings, the boiler must be connected to a collective chimney.

In individual buildings, it is displayed outside through the wall. The height of the pipe suspension in this case does not really matter, since the built-in fan creates the necessary traction.

Appliances with an open firebox must be connected to an individual chimney. The boiler is connected to it with a pipe of the desired section.

The material for its manufacture is chosen so that the part is resistant to the effects of combustion products, high temperatures and mechanical wear.

You can check the tightness of the gas pipe connection with a soap solution. A gas leak will manifest itself by the appearance of bubbles.

Before starting work, you need to make sure that there are no soot residues, installation debris, etc. in the chimney. When installing the flue pipe, it should be positioned with a slight slope towards the gas boiler.

A vertical section of pipe is installed at the outlet of the device, its length before turning must be at least equal to two pipe diameters. The total length of the connection to the chimney must be kept to a minimum.

Stage #7 - preparation for the first launch

Before the test run, the heating system is filled with water. The liquid is pumped until a pressure of 2 atmospheres is reached. The pumping of water is carried out as slowly as possible in order to remove the maximum amount of air that has collected inside.

In addition, the system is tested for leaks. All leaking connections must be sealed immediately.

To identify insufficiently tight joints on the gas line, dilute the soap solution and lubricate all joints with it. Then watch.

Air bubbles will appear in poor quality areas. Any faults found should be corrected and retested. The first start-up of the equipment should be carried out only in the presence of a representative of the gas service.

Conclusions and useful video on the topic

The video discusses in detail the regulatory requirements for the installation of wall-mounted gas boilers:

.

Yes, and manufacturers of heating appliances insist on this. Therefore, even experienced home craftsmen are better off seeking help from professionals, which guarantees long-term, and most importantly, safe operation of the device.

Please leave your comments if you have any questions about the topic of the article. Or maybe you yourself had to deal with the installation of gas wall-mounted equipment and do you have something to advise our readers?

Now gas is one of the most common types for space heating. Therefore, many are interested in what is needed in order to install gas equipment in their house or apartment. What are the requirements for a room for installing a gas boiler? Requirements for equipment and places for its installation are clearly regulated by SanPin standards. Controlling organizations monitor their implementation, because the place equipped for the boiler room is explosive. Therefore, you should strictly follow the regulations.

Gas boiler in a private house - the main varieties

• Floor. They are very common. Installation of such equipment should be carried out in specially equipped places with good ventilation. Suitable for heating large areas.
• Wall. Such units take up very little space and are used to heat small places.

Installation Requirements

First you need permission to install gas equipment. To do this, you need to contact GorGaz, write an application and provide the following documents:

• a project that includes a scheme for connecting to the central city highway;
• technical passport of the selected unit;
• instructions for use;
• conclusion of the expert commission on the suitability of the equipment.

NOTE! For installations with a power of less than 30 kW, the area of ​​​​the boiler room is at least 7 m2 . If the power is up to 60 kW, it is equal to 13 m2. Over 60 kW - 15 m2 and more.

Requirements for a gas boiler room in the basement

Previously, it was forbidden to equip boiler rooms in basements. However, recently this has become possible due to the transition to propane, which is in a gaseous state. Now it is allowed to install a gas boiler in the basement. Only the power of the equipment is limited, it should not exceed 200 kW. It is only necessary to comply with all the requirements assigned by Sanpin.

As a rule, the equipment of a boiler room in a private house does not cause difficulties. All the necessary requirements are quite easy to fulfill. It will only be necessary to build a boiler room that meets all prescribed standards.

Installation in an apartment causes a number of difficulties. The most suitable place for this is the kitchen. To install a gas boiler in it, you need to meet certain requirements. It:

Important! Independent connection is strictly prohibited, especially to the central highways. The first adjustment should be carried out by a specialist.
