There are generally two kinds of household gas pipes, one is the hose, which is easy to age and has risk factors such as fracture and gas leakage, so it is not recommended to use; The second is the metal bellows, which can be used for 6 to 8 years. Pay attention to the use of gas pipes:
★ The length of the gas pipe should not exceed 2 meters. ★ Do not place the gas pipe near the stove surface to avoid being grilled by the flame. ★ Do not go through walls, doors and windows. ★ Do not press or fold the pipeline, so as not to cause blockage and affect the continuous air supply. ★ At the interface between the gas pipe, the gas appliance and the pipeline, please clamp the pipe tightly to prevent it from falling off and leaking. ★ The replacement of metal bellows must be carried out by a professional.
When the pipe gas is completely combusted, the amount of air that needs to be consumed is more than 4 times that of the gas, and the kitchen and gas appliances should be well ventilated.
Check the gas facility for air leaks, use a soft brush dipped in soapy water and smear pipe connections or suspected air leaks. If bubbles bubble, there is a leak in the area.
