When decorating the kitchen, everyone is concerned about whether to install a gas alarm? Gas alarms are now mandatory for open kitchens, with clear design and acceptance requirements as well as regulations; Although there is no mandatory requirement for enclosed kitchens, it is recommended to install gas alarms; If a gas alarm is not installed in an open kitchen, the gas company cannot pass the inspection and provide you with gas. It can be seen that gas alarms are still very necessary to install, such as in current apartment style residences where gas alarms are installed.
The necessity of installing gas alarm:
Although gas has an odor, when it leaks, even a small amount can cause suffocation and accidents; So by the time we can detect a gas leak, it's basically too late. Many accidents happen this way, so it's very necessary for us to take corresponding measures to prevent this problem. The measure we can take now is to install a gas alarm;
As for the gas alarm, it can accurately and timely detect gas leaks. When the amount of gas leakage is very small, it can detect it and then issue an alarm to remind us of the gas leak. At this time, we can take measures to close the gas valve to ensure safety;
Especially for open kitchens, when we decorate them, many homeowners remove the original partition walls and create an open kitchen. This way, if there is a gas leak, it will quickly spread into the room and then into the bedroom. So now it is regulated that open kitchens must be equipped with gas alarms, and in fact, it is also recommended to install gas alarms for closed kitchens.
Installation form of gas alarm
The first form is the common practice of installing only gas alarms, which are very cheap, costing around 20 to 30 yuan per alarm; Its function is also very simple, it serves as an alarm. When a gas leak is detected, an alarm sound is emitted to remind us, and then we need to close the valve and open the window for ventilation;
The second form is to install an electric valve in conjunction with a gas alarm. When gas leaks, the gas alarm will sound and the electric valve will start to operate, closing the gas pipeline to prevent further gas leakage; This not only serves as a reminder, but also serves to cut off the gas, making this type of gas alarm safer. But gas electric valves are relatively expensive, so everyone can consider whether to install them or not.
From the above analysis, we can see that it is still necessary to install a gas alarm, whether it is an open kitchen or a closed kitchen. It is recommended that everyone install it; In addition, we also analyzed two forms of gas alarms, hoping that everyone can take a look. If conditions permit, try to install the second one as much as possible; This way, the security is higher.
