Most modern private houses have gas boilers. This device can be called affordable, safe and economical, but it belongs to the group of expensive and difficult to install products.
Gas boilers are divided into two groups: single-circuit and double-circuit. The first type is used to heat the room, the second type can simultaneously heat the room and heat the water. Therefore, it is important to know the rule of how to install a double-circuit gas boiler in the house. Also, the equipment differs in power and type of installation.
How to choose a boiler
An important rule for installing a gas boiler in a private house is to determine the required power. Low productivity does not allow to obtain the desired effect. Too much power is not economically beneficial and dangerous, since the acidic condensate resulting from constant temperature changes has a negative effect on some parts of the apparatus.
To determine the power of the boiler, it is necessary to divide the area of \u200b\u200bthe house by 10 and multiply by the appropriate coefficient, the value of which depends on the region of residence. For example, for the central regions, a value of 1.2-1.5 is used, for the southern regions - from 0.7 to 0.9, in regions with a predominance of cold - 1.5-2. From this we can conclude that for a house of 120 m 2 located in the south of the country, it is enough to purchase an apparatus with a capacity of 8-10 kW.
With the help of special devices, you can change the value of the boiler power. At the same time, low-capacity devices have a single-stage regulator, middle-class heating appliances are characterized by a two-stage adjustment, high-capacity boilers have a modulated regulator.
Gas boilers can be wall and floor. Depending on this, the installation of the device has its own subtleties. In addition, the direct installation of gas equipment in a private house requires mandatory compliance with certain rules in accordance with the Sanitary Norms and Rules.
In particular, we are talking about the following:
- SNiP 41-01-2003 "Heating, ventilation and air conditioning".
- SNiP 31-01 of 2003 "Residential and multi-apartment buildings".
- SNiP 42-01-2002 "Gas distribution systems".
Rules for installing gas appliances
The following rules for installing a gas boiler are presented for the room:
- To install the boiler, a separate room is required, which can be located on one of the floors of the house, in the basement or attic. It is not allowed to install equipment in residential premises and a bathroom.
- the boiler room in which the gas boiler will be installed must have certain dimensions. For example, for boilers with a power of less than 30 kW, which are able to cover all the thermal needs of a private house, a room with an area of \u200b\u200bmore than 4 m 2 is required. Boilers with a power of more than 30 kW, but not more than 60 kW, can be installed in a room with an area of 13.5 m 2. For equipment with a power exceeding 60 kW, an area of up to 15 m 2 is required. Boilers with a closed combustion chamber can be installed in rooms of any size, starting from the established minimum value.
- The ceilings in the boiler room should be high enough, at least 2.5 meters.
- In a room with gas equipment, a prerequisite is the presence of a window, 30 cm of which falls on every 10 m 2.
- The door to the boiler room must have a width of more than 0.8 meters (read also: "Installing a gas boiler in a private house - requirements, standards").
- A gap of 2.5 cm should be provided between the upper level of the door and the main opening.
- Combustible finishing materials must not be used in the boiler room.
- In a room with gas equipment, the installation of a raised floor or false ceiling is prohibited.
- Be sure to have a hole for natural air flow. Moreover, for one unit of boiler power, at least 8 cm 2 holes are required.
- It is imperative to conduct water to the boiler room for the installation of a double-circuit gas boiler.
- Maintaining the optimum value of humidity, since with an excess of moisture in the boiler room, the escape of gas vapor is difficult.
- Installation of ventilation in the upper part of the boiler room. See also: "".
Details and parts of the equipment must also comply with the regulations for installing a gas boiler in a private house:
- Free access to the device from any side.
- Use only metal gas pipes.
- Mandatory presence of a gas meter.
- Electric boilers require mandatory grounding.
- Parallel installation of gas analyzer and automatic valve. The first device will give a warning about a possible gas leak, the second will stop the gas supply if a leak is detected.
Chimney Requirements
Installation of chimneys or gas outlets must be carried out in compliance with the installation parameters of a gas boiler in a private house:
- Gas combustion products must be discharged through a separate channel.
- The horizontal section of the chimney should be no more than 3 meters.
- The design of the chimney cannot have more than 3 bends.
- For a certain boiler output, an appropriate flue diameter is required.
- The cross section of the chimney must correspond to the diameter of the hole to which the flue is connected.
- The top point of the chimney should be located 0.5 meters above the level of the ridge.
Most modern boilers with a closed combustion chamber are sold complete with a coaxial chimney. Such devices can be installed in a room of any size, since the combustion air is taken from the street.
The listed requirements for the installation of gas equipment, including the installation of a double-circuit boiler in a private house, may have additions and clarifications in accordance with the region of use. In addition, gas supply may not be central, but bottled. Also, the rules can be adjusted depending on the material used to build the house and floors.
Design
All this leads to the fact that before installing a gas boiler, it is better to consult a specialist who will inspect the structure and identify the corresponding shortcomings.
To obtain permission to install a gas boiler, you must do the following:
- Write an application of the appropriate form to the organization that supplies gas. This document becomes a kind of permission to carry out preparatory construction work. In most cases, permission is issued no later than two weeks from the date of registration of the application.
- After that, it is necessary to make a project, licensed specialists are engaged in its manufacture.
- The finished project is subject to mandatory coordination with the gas supply organization. The complete package includes an application, project documentation and documents for gas equipment. It can take up to 3 months to get approved.
Installation in a private house
Installation of floor and wall equipment is carried out according to different schemes.
The floor boiler installation technology includes the following steps:
- Preparation of a solid base capable of withstanding the weight of the boiler. You can pour a concrete screed or lay a sheet of galvanized iron.
- Checking the level of installed equipment. The boiler must be strictly parallel to the floor level.
- Connecting to the gas outlet and checking the draft.
- Connecting the pipes of the heating system with the mandatory installation of a hard water filter. In addition, it is required to install ball valves on all branch pipes and shut-off equipment on both sides of the filter.
- When installing a double-circuit boiler in a private house, a connection is made to the plumbing system. In this case, the supply pipe should be located at the top, the return pipe - at the bottom.
- Connection to the gas pipeline. This item is performed only by a master gasman, independent work of such a plan is strictly prohibited.
- Connection to the power supply network.
There are certain rules for installing a wall-mounted gas boiler:
- Choose the strongest wall or partition and protect it with refractory material.
- The boiler is fixed, maintaining a distance of about 5 cm from the plane of the wall. You should also retreat from other walls and the ceiling by 50 cm, from the floor by 80 cm. The boiler should be parallel to the floor level.
- Before installation, clean the walls of the inlet pipes from debris by supplying water under pressure.
- Install the filter on the water supply pipe. Install locking mechanisms on both sides of the filter.
- Install a chimney, if provided for by the project, and check the draft.
- Connect the device to the gas pipeline by inviting the master of the gas service for this purpose.
- Connect to power supply.
Both options provide for filling the system with water before starting up with a preliminary shutdown of the device. To avoid the formation of air bubbles, water must be introduced into the system very slowly.
In addition, the procedure for installing a gas boiler in a private house provides for temperature restrictions. Installation of a gas stake can be carried out at temperatures from +5 to +35 degrees.
Maintenance of gas boilers during operation
Inspection of gas equipment should be carried out at least twice a year. At the same time, one of them falls on the period before the heating season. Gas service specialists check the tightness of the chimney and its performance, the condition of the ventilation system, perform maintenance and repair work.
Gas is considered the most profitable type of fuel in terms of economy. Even if a branch of the gas main is not connected to the holiday village, many owners of country houses use gas tanks, which, from the point of view of efficiency, is most often more profitable than using other types of fuel. In any case, you need to know the rules for connecting a gas boiler in a private house, which strictly regulate all the nuances of installation and operation of equipment.

Can I install the equipment myself?
In short, the installation of a gas boiler in a private house can be carried out by any person, but putting the equipment into operation - acceptance and testing should be carried out by specialists from the gas service, connecting a gas boiler in a private house and operating it without their permission is impossible.
It is most reliable to entrust the installation of gas equipment to qualified representatives of a specialized organization. Only they will be able to carry out the necessary work competently, in accordance with the requirements of SNiP, and ensure the safe operation of the equipment. In addition, a competent specialist always works under a contract, which indicates who, when and what kind of work was done.
The main types of gas boilers
Manufacturers of gas equipment offer customers different types of heating boilers operating on blue fuel. They are designed for heating any area and by type of installation are divided into floor and wall.
The first of these are powerful, reliable and durable "flagship models" designed for installation in homes with above-average footage. There is only one common drawback of such models - they will have to equip a separate room.
Wall-mounted gas boilers are an excellent alternative for a small private house: they do not need a separate room - such devices are compact and versatile. In addition, their installation does not impose increased conditions on the bearing capacity of the wall - only a layer of non-combustible material is required between the boiler and the base.
Requirements for the boiler room in the house
If the boiler capacity is more than 30 kW, then it must be installed in a separate room. All information on how to install a gas boiler in a private house is given in the SNiP standards, where there are clear requirements for arranging a boiler room for heating equipment powered by fuel combustion.
You can place the boiler room in the attic, in the basement (basement) or simply in a separate room of the house. In this case, a mandatory requirement is free access to the room, sufficient illumination and the arrangement of a rigid base.
In addition, the installation of a gas boiler in a private house has the following requirements for a boiler room:
volume at least 13.5 m³ for boilers with a capacity of 30-60 kW and over 15 m³ for models with a higher capacity;
convenient access to the equipment.
Properly designed boiler room for a private house Source teploknam.ru
In one hour ventilation should provide three-time air exchange;
walls and floors are made of non-combustible material;
Important! Heating boilers are located at a distance of at least 0.5 m from combustible surfaces. And partitions meet the fire resistance standard RE1 45, that is, they must resist open fire for 45 minutes.
Requirements for a boiler room in a separate building
The advantages of a separate boiler house are increased security, reduced noise level and the possibility of using the vacated area for other purposes. The disadvantage will be an increase in the cost of the heating system device, since it will be necessary to pull an additional heat-insulated pipeline branch.
At the same time, such requirements for such boilers are the following:
separate foundation;
concreted base for the boiler;
forced ventilation, which should provide three air exchanges for an hour;
meeting the requirements for sizes boiler room;
installation is allowed in one room no more than two heating devices;
doors to the street should open outward;

wall surfaces and ceilings are made of non-combustible material;
Availability windows with transom for daylight and emergency ventilation - the area of \u200b\u200bthe window opening should be suitable for the volume of the room (0.03 m 2 per 1 m³);
Availability chimney if it is needed for the installed device (for wall-mounted devices with a capacity of less than 30 kW, it is allowed to lead the coaxial pipe through the wall).
A sewer pipe is also connected to the boiler so that water can be drained from the system when it is replaced.
Basic requirements for chimney and ventilation ducts
The room where the gas boiler is located must meet the necessary requirements, while not only the width and length of the room are regulated according to the power of the equipment, but also the size to the ceiling, which must be at least 2 m.
A ventilation duct must be installed in the boiler room; for this, an opening with a cross section of at least 0.02 m 2 is provided.
The location of gas boilers is related to the installation conditions of the chimney. At the same time, the parameters of the latter (height, channel area) relative to the installed gas equipment must be strictly observed.
The size of the internal section of the smoke outlet pipe is made the same or slightly larger than that of the device. According to NPB-98, inside the chimney opening, the air flow speed should be 15-20 m / s, and such draft can be provided with a chimney pipe height of about 5 meters.
Important! Smoke must not be discharged into the duct provided for ventilation. In boiler rooms that have a standard exhaust, air exchange must take place due to the incoming flow from outside the room and, in part, as a result of its penetration from adjacent rooms.
Gas appliance in a private house: requirements and basic installation steps
For proper installation of the unit, you first need to study the regulatory documentation and the rules for performing these works. They talk about the features of installing gas appliances for the installation of a heating system.
What type of boiler would not have to be installed, it is imperative to comply with the requirements of certain norms and rules, such as:
SNiP 41-01-2003 on heating, ventilation and air conditioning.
SNiP 42-01-2002 about the gas distribution system.
SNiP 21-01-97 about fire safety.
SNiP 2.04.08-87 about the arrangement of boiler rooms.

With regard to these conditions, in order to install a gas boiler in a house, you must first obtain a regulatory act that gives permission to carry out work on connecting gas appliances. And in order to purchase technical specifications, it is necessary to submit an application to the local gas service, which must be answered within a month.
It is important to know! Technical conditions are official permission to carry out work on the installation of a gas appliance. Unauthorized installation of a gas heater without specifications is illegal and unsafe for the homeowner.
Boiler installation
After the development of project documentation and receipt of an act with permission to install a gas boiler, it is installed, which is carried out in several stages:
Preparing a solid foundation. A concrete screed is poured onto the floor, or a sheet of metal is placed. The boiler must be installed strictly parallel to the floor.
Chimney connection and traction test.
Accession heating system pipes. In this case, a fine filter must be installed, which is usually placed in the return pipeline before the boiler. And on both sides of the filter element put ball valves.
When installing a double-circuit gas boiler in a private house, it is necessary connect it to the plumbing. It is desirable to insert the supply pipe from above, and the outgoing line - from below.
Connection to the gas pipeline. This can only be done by a gas service specialist.

On this, the most necessary work is completed. Boilers with a closed combustion chamber are an exception. These devices are electronically controlled, and they are launched simultaneously with the filling of the system, since without creating a certain pressure in the expansion tank, the boiler will not work.
Operating rules
For the safe use of gas, the connection diagram for a gas boiler in a private house must be observed. In addition, the following must be conditions:
Behindstart operation of the boiler only at normal humidity.
Technical condition control by gas service specialists at least once a year.
Filter installation fine cleaning on the return pipeline of the heating system.
natural or artificial ventilation in the boiler room.
Conformity thrust in the chimney pipe requirements (10-20 m/s).
In the event of a leak, notify the emergency gas service promptly.

Maintenance
Preventive measures for routine inspection of gas boilers include the following types of jobs:
Faucet testing external and internal gas pipeline (disassembly, lubrication).
Inspection of thermostats on floor boilers.
Flushing or replacement filter elements.
Injector revision, checking the tightness of the door, the operation of the igniter on floor-standing appliances.
Traction control in the chimney.
Checking in winter ice at the coaxial pipe of wall-mounted boilers.
All components that have been worn out during operation must be replaced.
On a note! After the repair is completed and before starting the heating system, the gas service worker checks the tightness of all connections in the line. Usually a soapy solution is used for this.
A competent preventive inspection will not only increase the life of the equipment in operation, but also reduce gas consumption.
Conclusion
At first glance, the installation of gas boilers in a private house is not the most difficult, the requirements for compliance with standards and safety are high. Installation of a heating system with a gas boiler requires knowledge of the relevant rules and regulations, and the final check and connection should be carried out exclusively by gas service specialists. Trust the professionals and then the gas boiler will serve you faithfully and provide warmth and comfort in your home.
There are many different solutions available on the market today that you can use to keep your home warm. One of the most common options is the installation of wall-mounted gas boilers. Despite the relatively recent appearance of wall models, they quickly became popular. Sometimes such equipment is simply called mini-boiler rooms, because in a compact case there are a lot of important elements that ensure reliable and efficient operation of the unit. However, in order for the heating equipment to work correctly, you need to know how to install a gas boiler.
Wall-mounted gas boilers can be located in the kitchen, in the bathroom, in any other premises.
Features of installation and connection of a wall-mounted gas boiler
Inside the gas wall-mounted boiler has a number of elements necessary for its operation, namely:
- a heat exchanger equipped with a burner and a device for controlling the operation of the unit;
- expansion tank;
- circulation pump;
- security system.
To properly install a wall-mounted gas boiler, you need to know the rules and features of its installation, as well as have at least basic skills in working with such equipment.
A wall-mounted gas boiler can be single- and double-circuit. A single-circuit wall-mounted gas boiler is able to provide the house with heat, and a double-circuit one can also provide hot water. Gas boilers can be divided into atmospheric and turbocharged. In any case, depending on the technical characteristics of the equipment, they will have different installation features.
You need to understand that a wall-mounted gas boiler can be with an open or closed combustion chamber. So, in the first case, the removal of combustion products and smoke is carried out in a natural way. In a closed chamber, a fan is used for smoke extraction. For equipment with an open chamber, the combustion air is taken directly from the room. However, for the correct operation of such a unit, a number of recommendations must be followed.
Before connecting a wall-mounted gas boiler to a previously installed chimney, you must make sure that it is clean, because. during operation, dirt can fall off and block the exit of combustion products. The connection of such equipment with an existing chimney must be carried out exclusively with a metal pipe that is resistant to mechanical wear and high temperatures, as well as the effects of aggressive media such as condensate and combustion products.
Before turning, at the outlet of the unit, the length of the vertical section of the connecting section must be greater than 2 pipe diameters. After this section, the pipe must have an ascent with a slope directed towards the boiler.

Wall-mounted gas boiler with a closed combustion chamber
If we consider a wall-mounted gas boiler with a closed chamber, it should be mentioned that in this case the removal of combustion products is carried out using a fan. Air for combustion is taken from the street. Such a boiler does not need to be connected to an individual chimney. The output can be carried out in a collective chimney or with the help of a coaxial chimney built into the outer wall. The main thing is to ensure that no dirt gets into the fan installation site during installation. Be sure to check this place before starting the equipment.
Make sure that the fresh air intake pipe is at least 220 cm above the ground and protrudes at least 18 mm from the wall. Pay attention to the position of the pipes of the chimney system. Pipes must be sloped down. This is done so that the condensate formed during the combustion process can be removed from the chimney. The space between the wall and the pipe must be carefully sealed. This will prevent dirt and rainwater from entering the house through this opening.
It is necessary to take into account the fact that there must be no obstacles of any kind at a distance of at least 15 cm in front of the gas outlet pipe. Structures located above the pipe must be located at a height of at least 25 cm. Otherwise, the flow of exhaust smoke will be disturbed, which may lead to incorrect operation of the unit or even cause an emergency. And finally, you need to make sure that the chimney pipe is not clogged and does not hang out.

Before installing a wall-mounted gas boiler, you need to notify the gas supply service at your place of residence about your intentions for installation.
All necessary actions and equipment installation scheme are coordinated there.
When buying a new gas boiler, be sure to check the completeness of the delivery. After unpacking, the unit must have a perfect appearance, and an instruction manual must be included with it. If any part is missing, be sure to contact the suppliers and solve the problems that have arisen.
It is necessary to check the technical specifications indicated on the box of the device and on the boiler itself. In addition, you need to make sure that these indicators correspond to the numbers given in the boiler operating instructions. Before installing the equipment, it must be clarified whether the apparatus will work normally with the type of gas supplied.
The wall-mounted gas boiler should be prepared for installation. Before installing the unit, it is necessary to flush the pipes from all sorts of foreign particles. It is necessary to flush the lines of the heating system. The wall-mounted gas boiler can only be installed on a vertical, flat surface that can support the weight of the unit itself and the connected additional equipment. Here it is necessary to take into account the material from which the wall is made, and the bearing capacity of the fasteners.
If the boiler is installed on a wall made of combustible materials, a sheet of non-combustible material with a thickness of at least 3 mm should be placed under the apparatus, and the boiler itself should be installed at a distance of at least 5 cm from the wall.
For a wall-mounted boiler, it is necessary to organize a separate wiring with a switch and a stabilizer. This system must be provided with grounding. The device must hang perfectly evenly on the wall.
Before performing installation work, it is necessary to provide the necessary space on the wall for installation. The distance between the ceiling and the boiler must be at least 500 mm, between the boiler and the floor - from 800 mm. The first start-up and adjustment of the unit and all attached equipment must be carried out in the presence of an employee of the gas company.
The premises in which the gas boiler will operate are specified in SNiP 31-02-2001, DBN V.2.5-20-2001, SNiP II-35-76, SNiP 42-01-2002 and SP 41-104-2000 - these documents exclude or minimize any emergency situations. Premises for placing gas boilers fall under the classification of fire and explosion hazards, therefore, when designing, planning, installing and configuring equipment for gas heating, all requirements for a room for installing a gas boiler must be strictly observed.
General requirements for the installation of gas appliances
In the room intended for the installation of a gas boiler, according to the above standards, there should be good natural lighting: 1 m 3 should account for at least 0.03 m 2 of the window opening area (but not windows - partitions, frames and imposts are not taken into account). Be sure to equip the room with a supply and exhaust ventilation system according to the following rules: the total volume of direct and reverse air flows per hour, multiplied by 3, is equal to the volume of the entire exhaust device. In addition to the window equipped with a window, a door with access to the street is installed in the room. The table shows the requirements for the volume of the room:
Attention!
For gas-fired units with a power of more than 6000 W, 0.2 m3 should be added for each extra unit of power.
Supervisory requirements for a room for installing a gas boiler stipulate that it is allowed to operate any appliances for heating an apartment on each floor of a multi-storey building and in any room of the apartment. Kitchens in multi-storey buildings are also suitable for these requirements, as they are already equipped with the appropriate communications. The only condition is that the total thermal power of all devices for heating water and heating an apartment (boilers, boilers, heating elements, heating radiators, batteries or registers) should not exceed 150 kW in total.
The height of the ceilings in the room is 2 meters or more. The room in which the gas boiler will be installed and operated must be separated from neighboring rooms by solid refractory walls. Material for walls or partitions must have a temporary fire resistance limit of 0.75 hours (45 minutes). The room for the boiler must be planned so that in the event of a fire in operation there is no possibility for the fire to spread throughout the apartment.
Attention!
Gas boilers of the TLO brand, operating on the principle of natural circulation of the coolant, can be installed and should only be operated in the basement of the house or in the basement.
Installation of a gas wall-mounted boiler - kitchen requirements
- Ceiling - 2 meters and above.
- The total volume of the kitchen is more than 7.5 m 3 , ventilation is installed, a window is installed and there is a door leading to the balcony.
- For air exchange, it is necessary to equip a grate at the bottom of the wall or door that opens into the next room, the area of \u200b\u200bthe grill is at least 0.02 m 2.
To install a gas boiler in the kitchen, you may need permission from the gas service.
If the kitchen in the apartment does not meet the requirements of SNiP, then gas heating equipment can be installed and operated only with the permission of the gas supervision.
The existing rules for installing a gas boiler in a private house largely repeat the requirements for boilers that operate in apartments in multi-storey buildings. The differences are caused only by the fact that often in a private house a separate room or building is allocated for heating equipment, which is subject to additional requirements listed below.
Rules for installing a floor-standing gas boiler
- In a house under construction, it is necessary to plan a separate room for installing a gas-fired boiler. The room should be with natural air flow through the grate in the door or through a hole in the wall.
- Be sure to make a separate hole for supply and exhaust ventilation - it must be under the ceiling.
- A hole in the wall for a chimney, a hole below the chimney for a soot duster (for cleaning the chimney), which is made 20-30 cm below the main chimney.
- The chimney is made airtight so that smoke and carbon dioxide do not get back into the room. For tightness, a smaller diameter pipe is installed inside the large chimney pipe, through which the products of gas combustion are removed.
- The room intended for the installation and operation of the gas boiler must be spacious and provide free access and operation, maintenance and repair of the boiler. The floor in the furnace must be made of non-combustible materials - concrete screed, natural stone, paving stones. The furnace must be connected to the water supply for the operation of the water heater, and equipped with a sewer.
- The area of the room for the boiler is 4 m 2, the height of the ceilings in the room is at least 2.5 m 2.
- The outer door should be 80 cm wide.
- The top of the chimney must be above the roof. The cross section of the chimney pipe must be larger than the diameter of the boiler outlet.
- To supply power to the boiler room, an electrical panel with grounding must be equipped.
- The gas line is brought into the room in advance. A separate valve must be installed for each gas appliance.
- The walls of the boiler room are plastered - it is strictly forbidden to finish the walls with combustible materials (MDF, fiberboard, plastic).
It is forbidden to store flammable liquids and objects near the furnace and in the room itself. The foundation under (gas heating unit or gas water heating unit) should not freeze in winter, so its depth should be below the freezing level of the soil in this region. The air from the vent must be clean, that is, the chimney must be located far from the vent. The room or building in which the gas boiler is installed cannot be equipped for other purposes.
Rules for installing wall-mounted gas boilers in an apartment
Usually, in an apartment, a gas boiler is installed in the kitchen, since a gas main is already connected to it, there is water supply and sewerage. That is, a priori, all the requirements for the installation of gas equipment have already been met - it remains only to connect the boiler. This state of affairs automatically reduces the cost of laying utilities and energy. It is forbidden to install a gas boiler in rooms with high humidity - in the bathroom, laundry room, etc.
There are several additional requirements for wall-mounted boilers:
- The wall or partition for hanging the boiler must be able to withstand it - do not hang the equipment on a drywall or other light partition.
- If the wall is decorated with combustible materials (wallpaper, vinyl, plastic, MDF, fiberboard), then a 3 mm thick non-combustible material gasket is installed between the wall and the wall. In this case, the boiler must be fastened with special hardware, which provide a distance from the boiler body to the wall of at least 4-5 cm.
- The minimum distance from the boiler to the ceiling and walls of the room is 0.5 meters. The distance from the boiler to the floor is 0.8 meters.
Before installation and start-up of gas equipment, all relevant documents must be obtained. The main condition for installing a boiler in a private house that runs on gas is that an agreement is first concluded on connecting a gas main, and a project for the installation of gas equipment and gasification of the house is drawn up. These documents are developed and approved by the gas supplier in the region.
