Does the natural gas valve need to be closed every day? Fortunately, the master reminded him that it almost caused a catastrophe
In our people's lives, safety always comes first. When it comes to home security, natural gas is a big issue that can't be overlooked. This natural gas has brought convenience to us, but we must also use it carefully, otherwise it may cause a catastrophe if we are not careful. No, I almost had a big accident a few days ago because of a small negligence.
That day, I came home from work, tired enough to choke, and as soon as I entered the door, I smelled the smell of food. My wife was busy in the kitchen, so I put down my bag, changed my shoes, and was ready to help. Walking to the kitchen door, I habitually glanced at the gas stove and saw that the blue flames were jumping happily, and the pork ribs were stewed in the pot, and the aroma was overflowing.
"Wife, did you stew pork ribs today? It smells so good! I laughed and boasted.
"yes, don't you like to eat? I deliberately came back from work early to make it for you. My wife replied to me while stir-frying the vegetables in the pot.
"You've worked hard." I walked over and reached out to give my wife a hug, but I didn't pay attention and my hand touched the switch of the gas stove.
"Oops, be careful!" My wife exclaimed and quickly pulled me away.
"What's wrong?" I was startled and quickly withdrew my hand.
"Look at you, you almost turned off the gas stove." The wife pointed to the fire on the stove and said.
"Oh, I just accidentally touched it." I breathed a sigh of relief and thought to myself, it wasn't a big deal.
"Husband, how many times have I told you that this natural gas valve doesn't have to be turned off every day." My wife looked at me helplessly.
"Why don't you turn it off? Doesn't it mean to save gas and turn off the valve when you go out? "I'm a little confused.
"You're misunderstanding." My wife put down her work and came over to explain to me, "It is not good for the natural gas valve to open and close frequently, because it is easy to loosen the valve, which increases the safety hazard." Moreover, there will be a certain amount of wear and tear every time the valve is opened and closed, which will also affect the service life of the valve in the long run. ”
"Oh, that's right." I scratched my head, a little embarrassed, "When the master came to the house for maintenance, he didn't say anything about it." ”
"The master may think that this is common sense, so he didn't specifically say it." My wife smiled, "However, I have to blame for this, I didn't tell you earlier." ”
"So what now?" I asked.
"Actually, it's not a big deal." My wife comforted me, "Just pay attention in the future." We can close the valve at night before going to bed or when we don't use gas for a long time. This ensures safety and reduces wear and tear on the valves. ”
"Oh, I see." I nodded, "Thanks to you for reminding me, I wouldn't have known about it." ”
"yes, safety is no small matter." My wife smiled and said, "Come, help bring the ribs out, it's almost ready." ”
With that, my wife pulled me to the table and began to prepare for dinner.
Although this incident was a small episode, it made me deeply realize the importance of family security. Natural gas is one of the indispensable energy sources in our daily life, and we must always pay attention to the safety of its use while enjoying the convenience it brings.
First of all, we need to choose natural gas cookers and water heaters and other equipment produced by regular manufacturers, and ask professionals to install and overhaul. This ensures the quality and safety of the equipment and reduces the occurrence of failures and safety hazards.
Secondly, we need to develop good habits of use. For example, when using natural gas cookers, pay attention to the size and stability of the fire source; When using the water heater, pay attention to the adjustment of the water temperature and the unobstructed exhaust port; When leaving the house or not using natural gas for an extended period of time, remember to close the valve and so on.
Finally, we regularly inspect and repair natural gas equipment. For example, natural gas pipelines can be regularly inspected for gas leaks; Components such as burners and heat exchangers of natural gas cooktops and water heaters can be cleaned regularly; You can regularly ask professionals to overhaul natural gas equipment, etc. In this way, potential safety hazards can be found and eliminated in time to ensure the safety of household gas.
In short, family safety is no small matter. We have to be careful when we use natural gas. Don't cause a catastrophe because of a moment of negligence. It's like I almost turned off the gas valve that day, but fortunately my wife reminded me in time, otherwise I really don't know what would have happened! So, everyone must take this as a warning!
