Requirements for installing a gas boiler
A gas boiler must be installed in places not intended for living, for example, in a bathroom or kitchen, the condition is that in one of the walls there is a channel for the output of combustion products to which the boiler is connected. A room for installing a gas boiler with an open combustion chamber, as a rule, has an air volume of at least 8 m3, boilers with a closed combustion chamber require 6.5 m3. The room must have air supply vents located not higher than 30 cm from the floor and an exhaust hood closer to the ceiling.
For the installation of boilers with a capacity of up to 30 kW there are certain requirements for the room, this is the ceiling height - at least 2.2 meters; cubic capacity - 7.5 m3 for non-residential rooms and at least 21 m3 for the kitchen. Also, it would be nice to read the text installation of gas boilers SNIP, which clearly indicates all the requirements of Russian gas standards.
Installation of a gas boiler in the bathroom
This type of installation is the most difficult, firstly, you should get permission from higher authorities, and this is quite problematic - the rules for installing a gas boiler in our country do not allow it to be installed in rooms where there is no window. It is this rule that makes many abandon the idea, but, sometimes, even during the construction of the house, future residents provide for this situation and build in a regular window. If possible, and you are ready to completely change the layout - break the wall and insert the window, pass the chimney through the hood, before that, do not forget to call a gas specialist to coordinate the project and obtain permission.
Electricity should be summed up taking into account humidity, this is the mandatory grounding of the gas boiler and RCD. This type of installation is not only complicated, but also not entirely safe. Any modern gas boiler consists of electronics, so that turbo gas boilers are suitable for you not to be shocked, since they are tightly closed. But, after a short period of time, even the highest quality gas boiler will break. As a result, you break all the rules, spend time and effort, and you will remain dissatisfied.
Installing a gas boiler in the kitchen
The best place to install a gas boiler is the kitchen. There are no violations, all the conditions for installation are just perfect. Please note that the window in the kitchen must certainly open as a window for regular air flow. Also, the presence of supply and exhaust ventilation and fireproof wall coverings are mandatory.
The walls of the kitchen are often covered with ordinary wallpaper, and they are flammable, so the installation location of the gas boiler is covered with a metal sheet. Another nuance, if you have a kitchen-living room, it is recommended that you additionally protect yourself, buy a gas analyzer, it is able to determine the presence of harmful carbon monoxide in the air in time and turn off the gas appliance.
Installation of a floor gas boiler
Installation of a floor gas boiler requires enough space, it is durable due to cast iron material, it gives more opportunities for heating a house, but it is more expensive than a wall boiler. Installing a floor boiler is less prone to errors, as it is easier. All that is required is a small threshold just above the floor, a prepared chimney and knowledge in the field of connecting boilers and electrics.
It is best to install a floor boiler in a separate room that can be equipped as a boiler room, the floor for the boiler should be flat and covered with iron sheet. An approximate plan for connecting a floor gas boiler:
-
connection to the chimney
-
connection to a home heating system
-
cold water starts
-
connection of the boiler to gas pipes.
Installation of a wall gas boiler
Installation of wall-mounted gas boilers is somewhat complicated by the reliability of wall mounts. But, a wall-mounted boiler is more convenient than a floor-mounted one - its installation is not difficult between kitchen furniture, it can perfectly fit into the interior of the kitchen and turn out to be almost invisible. The small size of the wall-mounted boiler provides heating for a small house, its power, weight and size are smaller than the floor boiler. Installation of a wall-mounted gas boiler is divided into stages:
-
to cover the wall with an iron sheet, if there is a covering with tiles, it should be dismantled and the boiler should be fixed to a clean, cemented surface. In the case of a wooden house, as previously described, cover the wall with iron sheet
-
install the fasteners securely, hang the boiler to a prepared place. After installing the exhaust duct, you can proceed to connect the water supply and electricity. The completion will be testing the operation of the boiler.
Installing gas boilers with your own hands is not as difficult as it might seem. Of course, some skills are still necessary, but in fact, having carefully studied the information and understood the whole installation principle, you can install the heating system without the help of service workers, clearly observing the rules for installing a gas boiler.
