Often the thought does not immediately come to mind, how best to arrange gas pipes, because there is no experience in this matter.
For many years of experience, we have prepared for you some wise advice:
- Each gas appliance requires a separate gas cock. For independent oven and hob separate branches are required for welding.
- Remove the faucet under the countertop.
Don’t like the look of the kitchen when a pipe with a tap and a hose runs through the apron? You can move the branch with a crane under the countertop, to the height allowed by the rules. Please note that the gas pipeline should not be located in the washing area, as well as in boxes occupied by appliances! It is necessary to provide access to the gas pipeline for use, inspection and maintenance. We recommend placing the tap in a free box at least 40 cm wide. - Do not block gas pipes! We are approached by clients who once did this a long time ago, and now they are asking to bring the pipes outside in order to sleep peacefully.
Norms and rules for the location of gas pipes in the apartment
For execution quality installation or transfer of gas pipes must comply with the rules.
Violations that people are not even aware of, maybe a large number of(More than 100) !
To answer possible questions, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with some of them:
- It is forbidden to connect a gas appliance with several hoses, the hose must be solid;
- Gas pipes and equipment are prohibited from being located in residential premises;
- It is impossible to wall up gas pipes, laying in niches is not allowed. Gas pipes throughout must be accessible for inspection and maintenance;
- Each gas appliance requires a separate gas cock. Up to the tap, the gas pipeline must be without threaded connections;
- The minimum height of the horizontal sections of the gas pipe is 50 cm from the floor;
- The gas pipeline must not cross the electrical cable. The distance between them must be at least 10 cm at the intersection. (40 cm with parallel laying);
- In a room with gas equipment, there must be a door;
- The gas valve must be in close proximity to the device, always in the same room;
- Flexible connections (hoses) are used only for connection from the faucet to the appliance. The hose must not cross the gas pipe;
- Geyser can not be installed in the toilet;
- The pipeline must not cross ventilation duct;
- The gas valve must not be directly above the stove (hot zone).
Examples of work on the transfer of a gas pipe in an apartment
On the this example the gas riser simply did not allow the kitchen furniture to be placed. The forces of our organization was moved to a corner.
The kitchen is both a gastronomic workshop and a gathering place for the whole family, so it is important that this popular space is both functional and beautiful. Sometimes the achievement of harmony interfere network engineering: pipes spoil plans and destroy beauty. Is it possible to move the gas pipe in the kitchen? Let's figure it out.
Preparatory stage
As they say, a good plan is half the battle. If you want to move the gas pipe, you need to determine where, or even better, think over a couple of options (if one of them turns out to be impracticable, then the craftsmen will immediately consider another). You need to fix your notes, and even better, draw them so that it is more convenient to explain what you want. Meanwhile, the flight of your imagination will be somewhat limited. Get acquainted with the mandatory standards that the gas pipeline must comply with.
It's important to know! Before digesting a gas pipe in an apartment, think about whether it will be enough for you to extend the network with a flexible hose with a permissible length of up to 3 meters.
As a rule, the need to transfer the pipe arises after the purchase of an apartment - before repair
Requirements for the gas supply system
So, the transfer of a gas pipe in an apartment is possible only if the following conditions are met:
- the network (in any fragment) should have unhindered access;
- windows, doors should not be in the way of communications;
- it is forbidden to pass the system through ventilation;
- the minimum distance of pipes from the floor is 2.2 m;
- the intersection of the network fragments with the walls must be done in a special way (pipes should be packed in construction cases protruding 3 cm beyond the plaster);
- the elements must be fastened firmly - rigid connections;
- it is not allowed to hide the system behind the casing (only if the structure is easily removed).
It's important to know! Even if you are a jack-of-all-trades, you know how to move a gas pipe in an apartment and have carried out such work more than once, you still need permission from the relevant authority, because the gas service must be aware of what changes have occurred, whether this will lead to an accident or tragic consequences. And no matter in which section the gas pipe is transferred. If you disobey, you will have to pay a fine equal to 5-10 minimum wages. In addition, you will have to return the previous layout of communications at your own expense.

Getting permission
As you understand, the redevelopment of gas pipes in the apartment is approved by the appropriate authority. In addition, the employees of the same office will turn the plan approved by you into reality. Consider step by step guide actions:
- Collection and preparation of documents (passport, documents for the right to own an apartment, plan / description of redevelopment, etc.).
- Visit to the gas service.
- Specialist consultation (you will be told which package of documents to provide/show, and you will also be given a sample application).
- Filling out an application in which you should write your address and outline the request itself (based on these data, a decision will be made whether it is possible to move the gas pipe in the apartment).
- Waiting for a representative of the gas service, who will issue a "verdict" - whether it is realistic to fulfill your request or not, and he may also offer his own solution to the problem.
- Familiarization with the estimate / transfer plan that the master will make for you. Document approval.
- Payment for services. You will need to compensate for the work of the team working both on the preparation of the estimate and on its practical implementation. It is difficult to say in advance how much it costs to move a gas pipe in the kitchen, since a lot depends on the volume and complexity of the work, meanwhile, you don’t have much choice, except to decide on an “underground” redevelopment and implement it yourself (but remember the fine).
- Provision of conditions and premises for carrying out the approved block of actions.
- Quality control check of the work performed (carefully inspect and check the connection points for strength, make sure that there is no blue fuel leakage in the system by covering the mounting surface with soapy foam).
- Signing the act of acceptance of work, and do not forget to keep one of the copies for yourself, because it is a guarantee that in case of failure - the mistakes of the masters will redo everything for you for free.
Connection must be tight
Carrying out work
Is it possible to move the gas pipe in the kitchen with your own hands? As you understand, not by law, but it is up to you to decide whether to obey the rules. If you want to take a chance, study detailed description works. However, it will be useful for you to familiarize yourself with such a manual, at least in order to control the work of the masters.
Tools and materials
To carry out the work you will need:
- new pipe;
- flexible hose;
- tap;
- brackets/clamps;
- tow / sealant;
- welding machine;
- drill;
- grinder / hacksaw;
- keys;
- purge device;
- brush;
- soap;
- dye;
- gloves;
- welding mask;
- sandpaper.
It's important to know! In no case do not check if there is a blue fuel leak with a lit match or lighter, bringing the flame to the junctions, otherwise you risk blowing up the entire entrance.

Process description
- Stopping the supply of blue fuel. You simply need to close the tap through which gas enters the house.
- System purge. Such an action is required. First, you will remove the remaining gas from the network. Secondly, clean the pipes of debris, thereby improving the quality of the blue fuel supply.
- Pipe cutting. At this stage, you need to remove the fragment of the structure that bothers you. Simply cut off.
- Welding the hole that appeared after the removal of the pipe.
- Drilling a hole in the place where it is planned to insert a new structural fragment. For this process you will need a drill.
- Branch welding operating system with new.
- Installing a faucet on the opposite side of the pipe. Do not forget that the connection must be airtight (use a special tape, tow or ready-made sealant).
- Fixing a new fragment of the structure, for which the pipe is attached to the wall with clamps / brackets.
- Connecting a flexible hose to a faucet (for connecting a stove, column or other appliances).
- Checking the quality of the work performed. A soap solution should be prepared and applied with a brush to the surface of the pipe and the junction. If a leak exists, bubbles will appear.
Is the tightness checked by the master? Stay close, watch out for bubbles
If the entire block of work is done by a team that came from the relevant service, you will only have to follow the conscientiousness of the craftsmen and follow step 10 to be sure that everything is done as it should. When the workers leave the house, and the pipes are dry, do not forget to cover them with paint in order to avoid the corrosion process and make the structure more beautiful.
Worth paying attention! Buying flexible hoses pay attention to the length. If you purchase a product that is too long, you will no longer be able to shorten it, because according to the technology it is forbidden to cut such hoses.
Do not forget to get a new passport of the premises in which changes have been made.
All is ready!
Agree, moving a gas pipe in the kitchen is not such a difficult task if you know how to approach the process.
Video: pipe transfer process
To move a gas pipe in an apartment / house, you need to invite specialists - this process requires specific knowledge. But if a person is familiar with the construction business, represents the principle of gas flow into a residential building and knows how to work with his hands, then the transfer of a gas pipe can be done on his own. True, for this you will need to familiarize yourself with the rules for performing the work in question.
How to move a gas pipe, following the rules?
The reasons why the transfer of a gas pipe is required can be very different - rearranging the stove and furniture in the kitchen, technical malfunctions of the gas pipeline, inconvenient location of pipes, and so on. Regardless of what specifically prompted the process in question, you need to read the instructions for its implementation and strictly adhere to the recommendations of specialists.
Step-by-step instructions for transferring a gas pipe:
- Turn off the tap that supplies gas to the apartment / house.
- Blow out the pipe to remove any remaining gas from it.
- The part of the pipe that is not needed is cut off. The resulting hole is carefully welded.
- In the place where the new pipe is supposed to be placed, a hole is made with a drill.
- A pipe of the required length is welded to the resulting hole.
- The crane is mounted using a special tape or ordinary tow and paint - this will provide the necessary seal.
- To the stove and others household appliances a branch is installed, but already with the help of threaded connections - welding work is over.
- The gas pipe (both the old section and the newly welded one) must be securely fastened to the wall.
Note:having let gas into the already transferred pipe, it is necessary to make sure that there is no leakage. This is done with an ordinary soapy solution - it is applied with a brush to all connections on the gas pipe, and if a bubble appears in at least one place, then you must immediately stop the flow of gas into the pipe and do all the work again according to the above step-by-step instructions.
If a specialist is invited for the type of work in question, then do not forget to check if he has a special permit for carrying out the transfer of a gas pipe.
Many people try to carry out the transfer of a gas pipe with a flexible bellows hose - this is prohibited. This type of hose can only be used to connect gas appliances and its length should not exceed 2 meters.
How to draw up and agree on the transfer of a gas pipe
This work is associated with a risk to life and therefore the transfer of the gas pipe must be documented. What needs to be done for this:
- Find a gas service organization at your place of residence - you need to apply for the transfer of a gas pipe. According to this application, a master comes to the house, who inspects the place, determines the possibility of transferring, makes calculations and makes an estimate.
- After the work is paid, a day is appointed for the transfer of the gas pipe. Do not forget to check in advance for the availability of certificates / permits from the organization to carry out such work.
- The specialists who arrived on the appointed day must present their documents, and the customer must check the dates of their last recertification.
- After completion of work, all changes must be made to the gas passport.
How should the gas system be located correctly
The gas pipeline in the apartment / house should be located so that it has free access - the system must be periodically inspected and repaired. Around the gas pipeline in the apartment / house there should not be sewer or water communications. In addition, the distances that are permissible between the gas pipeline and telecommunication lines must be fully respected.
Brackets, hooks, hangers and clamps can be used to fasten gas pipes to the wall. And according to the standards, all gas pipes are painted, for which only waterproof paints are used.
Any work related to the gas pipeline, including the transfer of the pipe, should be carried out only as a last resort, when it is really necessary - you should not “disturb” the gas pipeline system once again. But even if such a need arose, it is advisable to invite a specialist with a permit to carry out the work - the risk of accidents during work and during subsequent operation will decrease to zero.
How to move a gas pipe in a private house with your own hands
It is very responsible to transfer the gas system in the house, therefore, without certain knowledge and experience, if you do not prepare for this event, it is better not to do such work with your own hands all alone, even gas service specialists do not recommend doing this without appropriate consultation. The services of professionals for hire are often expensive, but remember that this is the price of your security, and this is not so expensive.
It is necessary to consider some important nuances of the transfer work, how to transfer gas pipes. This is necessary in order to navigate the stages of the process, what needs to be done for what. In addition, in order to make an accurate forecast of possible options for the location of the gas line in the apartment, whether it can be placed where you thought of or not.

Action briefing to help transfer the gas system
Moving the gas pipe for a specialist is a simple job and is performed in this order:
1. The gas valve must be used to shut off the gas supply to the dwelling;
2. Blow out the gas pipeline in order to remove the remnants of the gas substance from its cavity;
3. In the connecting section where the connection with the gas pipeline takes place, it is necessary to cut off the pipes that are not useful and weld the hole that is left of them;
4. In the places where it is planned to insert a gas pipe, it is necessary to drill a hole and weld an outlet device made of a metal product to the gas pipeline;
5. Mount a valve to the outlet mechanism and drain to the gas stove and, if necessary, to other household items using a threaded connection;
It must be remembered that household appliances are connected to the gas outlet device using a flexible silicone tube, the length of which should be no more than 2 meters. Such a tube may ensure that the transfer of the gas system may not be necessary.
6. Before connecting all appliances, the gas supply valve that has been newly installed and the new gas system with existing welds must be checked for leaks.
The processes associated with the gas system require a special permit, which is held by specialists who are tested every year to confirm their qualifications, skills and knowledge.
How to move a gas pipe in a private house with your own hands
What is the way out if there is a need to move the gas line?
Initially, before all events, you need to apply to the gas organization. You need to apply to the organization of the district where the applicant lives. Indicate in the paper that it became necessary to transfer the gas system.
A gasman, a gas service specialist will come to the address indicated in the application, inspect the premises where the gas pipes are located and announce the verdict on the possibilities of transfer gas system or it's just not possible. In case of a positive decision, he will perform the necessary settlement operations and write an estimate. There are times when it is necessary to draw up a new technical plan of the apartment, taking into account the planned transfer of the gas system. After the payment for the arrival of a specialist and his work will be made at the cash departments of the gas service enterprise, the date of the arrival of the brigade to carry out the work will be determined.
It is important to know that, being in the gas service, you need to ask them if they have a certificate for carrying out work on the transfer of the gas system. Such a document should be provided for review without hindrance, without delaying time.
After the brigade of professional workers arrives, you need to make sure of their professional qualities, you can ask them for an identity document, which should indicate their qualifications and the date of the last test. Only after verifying such information, allow the brigade to transfer the gas system. After the work is completed, the gas workers must provide an act of work done and enter such information into the gas documents of the apartment.

The standards provided for by the building rules for the location of gas lines in the apartment
The gap of the gas pipeline, which is laid in the floor covering or is in an open position in the apartment to various buildings for construction purposes or other pipeline structures (pipes for sewerage or water supply products, heating system) and technological devices should be such as to ensure easily accessible inspection, repair and the installation of a gas pipeline structure and the fittings that will be installed additionally. The gas pipeline in such a situation should not intersect with ventilation grilles, door and window openings.
How to move a gas pipe to another room
Between the gas pipeline channel passing in the partition and the communication devices, a certain gap must be maintained, which is calculated in accordance with all the requirements of technological rules. Such documents are provided for work with broadcasting and communication cables.
Between the gas pipeline and the power supply communication that runs inside the apartment, the smallest possible contact gap is calculated in accordance with all standards.
It is possible to lay a gas pipeline structure in a residential area at the height provided for this, which is 2.3 meters from the floor covering to the lower part of the gas pipe, in the presence of heaters for the product (heat-insulating coating) to the lower section of the heaters.
Fixing for gas pipeline structures that are laid in the open and attached to partitions, various ceilings and decorative objects in the room should be done using a bracket, hooks, clamp elements and suspension devices. The gap between the fasteners of the gas pipeline structure must be selected in strict accordance with the requirements of building codes and regulations.
It is necessary to lay a gas pipeline that transports gas in a wet state, taking into account the obligatory slope of at least 3%. It should be borne in mind that in the case of the presence of counting devices, the slope is determined from such a device.
Vertical gas pipeline structure in the area where it intersects with construction building, must be installed in the box. All existing gaps between and the gas pipeline are filled with resin-impregnated tow, rubber bushings or other elastic material can be used.
The ends of the box at least 4 cm must have a protrusion from floor covering. And the diameter of the duct must be determined in such a way that a gap of at least 6 mm is formed between the duct and the gas pipeline structure, taking into account the diameter parameter of the pipe up to 33 mm, not less than 11 mm in the case of a larger diameter of the gas pipeline.
Gas pipeline systems inside the building, even those that are laid in the channel, provide for the painting process. It is necessary to paint using water-resistant varnishes and paints.
Gas equipment must be connected to the gas pipeline using rigid connecting nodes. It is also worth remembering that there are still risks in any work with a gas pipeline. negative consequences, therefore, if you want to transfer the gas system in a residential area only because of decorative wishes, you should refuse such an undertaking. If, nevertheless, a decision is made to transfer, the installation process must be carried out when none of the relatives is at home.

Video: pipe transfer process
The apartment is being renovated, and the pipes were laid during the construction of the house at least half a century ago. Therefore, when planning repairs in an apartment, look at the technical documentation and see how long the pipeline has been serving, it may be time to replace this unit. Otherwise, later, when the operation of the pipeline continues after the expiration of the period, problems will arise - the gas will come out through the holes and the repair will have to be carried out partial, under the threat of an explosion or new problems in the future. This kind of communication is not a joke, be careful here.
Replacement of gas pipes in the apartment is carried out by a gas service worker
But before repair, keep in mind that cutting the gas pipe in the apartment is done by a grinder and the consequences of such work will not go unnoticed. Therefore, it is not possible to change some pipes; such a replacement requires repair of the apartment as a whole.
Replacing pipes with new ones
First, understand that the alteration of the gas distribution in the apartment is not carried out independently, as this will lead to problems with both the housing office and neighboring residents in case of inept actions. Replacement of equipment and is carried out only by the utility contractor company. At the same time, keep in mind that it is impossible to complete such work in one day, the tie-in will not do without welding, you will have to work specifically. Yes, and first, the calculation of the necessary materials and the amount of work carried out is carried out. Calculate in advance the funds that will be spent on the purchase of materials, the pipe is not a cheap thing.
How is the replacement work done?
When repairs are required, you call a specialist in these matters. The master, having reached the place of work and having drawn up an agreement, first of all makes sure that there are no strangers at the place of work, smokers leave the house so as not to accidentally cause an explosion. For safety reasons at the place of work, the foreman hangs out a special sign indicating the nature of the work being carried out. Accordingly, the electrician will not be able to work simultaneously with the gas master - one spark at the wrong moment and an explosion.
Before cutting, the fitter shuts off the feed. The crane shuts off the supply as a whole, not only to the place prepared for work. Please note in advance that it is strictly forbidden to engage in self-purging into the rooms of the apartment. Once the safety precautions have been thought about, the pipeline begins.
Tool for replacing a section of a gas pipeline
For work you will need such a tool:
- Bulgarian for cutting old elements and cutting new segments;
- Cutting and grinding wheels;
- Perforator for attaching pipe brackets to walls;
- Gas and spanners, screwdrivers;
- Sealant.
Having collected the right tool, the installation of gas pipes in the apartment will be quick and hassle-free.
The old gas pipeline in the apartment looks ugly
Analysis of the pipeline for leaks in the valve, laying flanged joints, case
A dangerous thing and launching into the renovated pipes of gas is not allowed until it is visually and experimentally seen that this step is safe. Visually, the specialist checks that each necessary plug is in the right place, and the stove, boiler and column are correctly connected to the system. In addition, before start-up, the gas pipeline is subjected to a purge, which is necessary to displace oxygen from the system. Purge is carried out simultaneously with chemical analysis samples of the composition leaving the pipe.
Please note that you need to make a tie-in into the gas pipe so that later the chem. analysis showed the presence of oxygen in the composition of less than one percent. Gas leaving the system should burn evenly and without problems and exit without shocks and pops. When checking the performance of the system, be aware that in no case should the purge be carried out inside the room or in the ventilation. Before starting to check, make sure that the windows are open and, just in case, normal ventilation of the room is ensured. At verification work come to the aid of the master and follow the operation of the gas system and equipment in the first minutes.
We crash into the central pipeline
Tapping into a gas pipeline under pressure is not carried out by residents; multi-storey buildings are completed with the necessary elements for this even before delivery. But those who built a private house according to an individual layout face this problem and for them such information will be just in place.
We prepare the necessary documents
To obtain permission to connect to a gas pipeline or redo the wiring in an apartment, the following list of documents will be required:
- Technical documents for the apartment, original;
- Scheme of the piece of land on which the house stands, shown in the gas service. The diagram indicates the pipeline of gas, water, sewerage and heating;
- Attach the documentation for the equipment that you are going to install and operate. This is a quality certificate, a maintenance contract and a permit for operation in a residential area;
- Chimney inspection report.
Getting permission from the service
In order for the tie-in to the low-pressure gas pipeline to pass normally, first get permission for this in Gorgaz. There, find out how the main gas pipeline runs and what methods they will recommend. Each element of the purchased gas equipment is agreed with the designer, who then draws up a project for the gasification of the premises. After that, the economic department calculates the approximate cost of the work and draws up an estimate. Study the contract carefully before signing - check each item so that the contractor equips the house with gas in a quality manner.
If you need to crash into a gas pipe, but have neither the time nor the desire to engage in projects, then the technical service engineer, based on the provided scheme, will draw up a plan to order, select the appropriate equipment for heating and gasification of the constructed premises.
The developed project is then agreed with you and with the executive company that will install the equipment.
When the plan is prepared, an agreement is drawn up for a private house and for monitoring the performance of work by the gas city service. No matter how ridiculous it may sound, but an important rule of good gasification is a careful reading of the drawn up contract and other documentation that is issued by the gas service. After each document is assembled, the tie-in into the gas pipe under pressure begins, and at the end of this moment, the technical documentation is signed.
The completed tie-in to the gas pipeline is accepted by a special commission, which includes members from the city gas service and from the executive company. When the price for replacing the gas pipes in the apartment is paid, and the system is running, the gas workers put seals on the gas equipment so that only they have access to the inside.

Installing a home gas pipeline: the frequency of replacing the internal line with a tap
The pipeline has been installed in the house for more than one day - even having drawn up a plan, the fitters think over how best to perform the installation in order to save gas in the apartment. It happens that moments not indicated on the plan create difficulties and you have to shorten the gas pipe in the kitchen or, on the contrary, add a couple of extra centimeters. Such events are evaluated by the commission so that later there are no problems due to such spontaneous changes in the existing scheme. Please note that any changes in the gas pipeline are coordinated with the city gas service, illegal tapping into the gas pipeline in a built house is punishable by a large fine. And if inept actions lead to an explosion and victims, then imprisonment.
Before and after the reconstruction of the gas pipeline in the apartment
Therefore, even the replacement of the gas valve in the apartment is not carried out on its own - a service is called for this. What can we say about the complete replacement of gas equipment, you should not do this on your own in any case.
After the installers connect the house to the main pipeline, the first test run is carried out - the pipes are checked for leaks. After making sure that each element is fixed, the installers will only have to carry out work on adjusting and adapting gas equipment to the specific conditions of the built house. In the future, adjustment work and Maintenance spends the company that sold you gas equipment, if there is an agreement drawn up on this account.
In fact, the launch of a gas pipeline is not such a simple task as it seems at first glance. First of all, the presence of each plug and the normal installation of taps in front of the stove and boiler are visually checked. Then the pipes are purged so that pure oxygen comes out from the inside - this interferes with the normal passage of gas. The tightness of the joints is checked using a classic soap foam, which is applied to the joints - if the foam bubbles, then there is a leak, which inflates the foam with air. Having eliminated the problems and launched the gas into the pipes, the operation of the equipment during the first day requires enhanced monitoring. Replacing a gas pipeline requires a lot of experience in this specificity.
The device of gas communications in the apartment is subject to certain requirements, therefore self-installation and connection of equipment, as well as the transfer of a gas pipe to another place is strictly prohibited.
All issues related to the laying of internal and external gas pipelines are resolved by the gas service, without whose permission it is only possible to move the stove to a limited distance.
We will tell you how to get approval for the replacement of the gas pipeline, and also describe the technology for transferring the intra-apartment highway. The proposed instructions are not a guide to action, all work must be carried out by a representative of the gas service.
All relocation and replacement work metal pipes, especially those requiring welding, are carried out by representatives of Gorgaz or another authorized organization. Having received an application from tenants, they are always interested in the reasons for the planned transformations.
Most often, it is required to change the piping in the kitchen without changing the layout and transferring equipment to other rooms.
The reasons may be different:
- replacement of old equipment - purchase of a gas column, stove or boiler - which requires a little more space;
- overhaul in the kitchen;
- transferring the gas stove from the window by 0.5-2 m towards the sink;
- change of place;
- transfer of a horizontally located pipe from a great height under the countertop, etc.
Often, pipe relocation is required in new buildings, where the original location of significant kitchen objects defies logic and explanation: suppose if in a 15-meter kitchen gas stove located near the window, the sink is in the opposite corner, and the hood is on the other side, above the entrance to the kitchen.
We have to correct the mistakes of designers, move the stove closer to the sink, so that cooking takes place in comfortable conditions.
It is strictly forbidden to carry out work on the transfer of the gas riser. The only change allowed is the masking of pipes with easily dismantled structures, for example, hanging kitchen cabinets
The most common reason is buying a new one. kitchen set with built-in equipment (oven and hob). In this case, the pipes must either be shortened or lengthened, depending on the planned installation site for the devices.
If you want to know how best to transfer a gas pipe in an apartment with redevelopment, we recommend contacting a design organization to draw up a transfer scheme.
The fact is that in typical city apartments it is forbidden to reinstall risers, pipes, as well as any gas equipment in living rooms, and even a permit is required to combine a kitchen and a room.
Obtaining approval for the replacement of the gas pipeline
Whether or not a transfer is possible can only be decided by the authorized bodies, that is, the gas service of your city (district). Only a qualified specialist has the right to engage in any dismantling and installation work. Of course, without agreement, the transfer of pipes cannot be carried out.
Even such a simple step as cutting the pipe by 10 cm must be agreed, since all work related to the gas pipeline is included in the risk category
Permission is issued in the following order:
- You find out the contact details of the gas service at the place of registration, contact the specialists, explain the situation, consult.
- Compose an application (according to the standard form), which will “launch” the approval process.
- Based on the application, a representative of the gas service arrives at your home. The time is specified in advance.
- The specialist examines, listens to wishes, answers questions. Often at this stage it is necessary to change plans, since the desired transfer does not meet safety requirements (a preliminary study of the gas pipeline installation standards will save you from this unpleasant moment).
- Approval of the final transfer scheme, budgeting. All documents are drawn up by the organization providing services. No work will be done without the consent of the landlord.
- If the transfer conditions are satisfied, you pay for the service according to the receipt and agree on the start time of work.
The approval procedure usually takes several days, stretching for a long period it can only for one reason: if the owners of the property and representatives of the gas service have not found a compromise solution.
Any factors that violate the norms (boilers, meters, columns) can cause a refusal to transfer pipes.
General requirements and regulations
In order for the approval process to go smoothly, it is better to familiarize yourself with the basic provisions of the gas system in residential premises in advance. Can be used as a cheat sheet normative document– SNiP 2.04.08-87* (current version).
Natural supply and exhaust ventilation must be established in the room, that is, there must be a window with opening vents / transoms and a ventilation duct with good draft
If the walls and ceiling are made of flammable materials (wood), they must be plastered or lined with metal sheets.
Gas pipes are used to transport fuel to consumers - stoves, ovens, columns, so the location of the equipment is as important as piping.

Finally, about the consequences of the illegal transfer of gas pipes. If you yourself plan to cut off a piece of a gas pipe or connect household equipment, you should be aware of the administrative and criminal penalties.
The minimum fine for unauthorized work is 2,000 rubles, and if a person suffers as a result of improper work, then a term of up to 5 years in prison threatens.
We invite everyone interested in the issue of transferring a gas pipe in an apartment to leave comments and ask questions. The contact form is located in the lower block.
Moving a gas pipe in an apartment is a very responsible matter, therefore, without the appropriate skills and training, it is not recommended to do it yourself. The work of hired specialists, for sure, will cost a lot, however, the payment for your security will not be so big.
Let's consider some aspects and nuances of transferring a gas pipe so that you can roughly navigate this matter and be able to predict whether, for example, a pipe can be moved to one place or another in your apartment, or only to some specific one.
Description of the procedure for transferring a gas pipe in an apartment
Instructions for transferring the gas pipe
Transferring a gas pipe for a professional is a simple procedure and is performed as follows:
- The gas cock blocks the access of gas going to the apartment.
- The gas pipeline is purged in order to remove the remaining gases from it.
- At the junction with the gas pipeline, an unnecessary pipe is cut off and the resulting hole is welded.
- AT suitable place a hole is drilled and a branch from a metal pipe is welded to the main gas pipeline.
- A faucet is mounted to the outlet and a tap is made to the stove and, if necessary, to other household appliances by means of threaded connections.
Household appliances are connected to the gas outlet by means of a flexible bellows hose no more than 2 m long. Perhaps this length will be enough so that the transfer of gas pipes in the apartment is not required.
- Before connecting the appliances, the installed gas cock and the new gas pipe with a welded joint are checked for leaks.
Working with gas requires a special permit, which is obtained by specialists who undergo an annual test to confirm their respective qualifications.
What to do if you need to move the gas pipe
Before you move the gas pipe in the apartment, you must contact the gas service organization at the place of residence and write a statement about the need to move the pipe.
A technician will arrive at your place of residence and inspect the conditions and say whether it is possible to move the gas pipe in your case, conduct necessary calculations and make an estimate. Sometimes it may be necessary to draw up a new technical plan of the premises, taking into account the ongoing transfer.
After payment for the call and work at the cash desk of the organization, the day of arrival of the masters will be appointed.
Upon arrival at the gas organization, at the same time ask them if they have certification for this type of work.
Such information must be provided upon request.
Upon the arrival of specialists, verify their qualifications by checking the availability of certificates and the dates of the last recertifications, only after that allow them to perform work. After the transfer of the gas pipe is carried out, the gas workers are required to leave an act on the work done and make an appropriate mark in the gas passport of the premises.
SNIP rules for the location of the gas pipeline system in the premises
The distance of a gas pipeline laid in the floor or openly indoors to building structures, pipelines for other purposes ( , ) and technological equipment should be taken taking into account the possibility of inspection, repair and installation of the gas pipeline and the fittings installed on it.
At the same time, gas pipelines should not cross ventilation grilles, door and window openings.
Between the gas pipeline passing through the wall and the means of wired broadcasting and communication minimum distance determined in accordance with the safety regulations provided for when working with cable lines wire broadcasting and communication.
Between the gas pipeline and power supply communications passing inside the premises, the minimum distance and the possibility of crossing are determined in accordance with the PUE.
Gas pipeline laying in residential buildings it is provided at a height of at least 2.2 m from the floor level and the bottom of the gas pipeline, if there is thermal insulation on the pipe () - to the bottom of the thermal insulation.
Fastening of openly laid gas pipelines to walls, ceilings and columns in buildings is carried out by means of brackets, hooks, clamps, hangers, etc. The distance between the gas pipeline fasteners must be determined in accordance with the requirements of SNIP No. 2.04.12-86.
The laying of a gas pipeline transporting wet gas assumes a slope of at least 3%.
If a meter is installed, then a slope must be provided from it.
The vertical gas pipeline at the intersection with the building structure must be laid in a case. The space between the case and the gas pipeline must be filled with tarred tow, rubber bushings or other kind of elastic material.
The end of the case should protrude at least 3 cm above the floor level, and its diameter should be taken from the calculation that there is an annular gap of at least 5 mm between the case and the gas pipeline with a pipe diameter of up to 32 mm, at least 10 mm - with a larger diameter of the gas pipeline.
Indoor gas pipelines, including those laid in channels, require painting. Painting should be carried out using waterproof paint and varnish solutions.
Gas burners and gas appliances are usually connected to the gas pipeline by means of a rigid connection.
It must be remembered that in any case, when working with gas pipelines, there is a risk of accidents, therefore, if the transfer of a gas pipe in an apartment is planned only for the sake of increasing the ergonomics and attractiveness of the room, it is better to refuse it.
If you still decide to take such measures, carry out installation work better with a minimum number of family members in the apartment.
