Nuances in service and connection
Now, as before, installing a gas heating boiler is not an easy task. To install such equipment you will need:
- coordinate actions with Gostekhnadzor;
- draw up a boiler connection project;
- prepare the room, connect the chimney, ensure the access of the main gas to the boiler.
A number of rules and regulations have been developed that will have to be followed during installation:
- you will need a ventilated room for the installation of the boiler, with an exit to the street;
- the area of the room must be at least 100 m²;
- mandatory installation of automation, which is responsible for gas leakage.
Gas boilers of the old type were connected to chimneys with a length of at least 5 m, only with natural draft.These requirements were mandatory and contributed to the minimum formation of condensation - the main disadvantage of retro devices.
Now coaxial chimneys and circulation pumps are used, therefore it is allowed to provide forced draft and install the chimney through the wall or into the ventilation shaft, which facilitates installation and makes the chimney connection point neater. The photo shows the correct installation of the boiler.
