I believe everyone has heard that "gas must be kept close to the person you are using it, and the valve must be closed after use." With the popularity of safe gas use, more and more people have realized the importance of closing the valve at will.
However, how many types of valves are there in the home? And should the gas valve be turned off every day? Many people still have misunderstandings. Today, come and find out more about Xiao Ran!
Should the gas valve be turned off every day?
Whether the gas valve needs to be closed frequently needs to be analyzed according to the different positions of the valve. According to the order in which gas reaches the burning appliance from the outdoors, the gas valves in the home can generally be divided into meter-front valves, stove-front valves and gas stove valves.
01 gas stove valve (gas appliance switch)
gas stove valve is the most commonly used and familiar valve. As a gas stove switch, its main function is to ignite and cut off the gas source. For the safety of you and your family, the gas stove valve must be closed after each use of gas.
02 stove front valve ( plug valve )
stove front valve is a control valve between the gas pipeline and the connecting hose. It is mainly used to control the use of gas stoves, gas water heaters and other gas appliances.
Many people think that after closing the gas stove valve, there is no need to close the stove valve. In fact, this is wrong. If the gas hose in your home is damaged and the valve in front of the stove is not closed, it will cause gas leakage. Therefore, every time you use gas, you need to close the stove valve in time to provide a layer of insurance for the gas safety in your home.
For safety reasons, before going to bed every night, you can check whether the valve in front of the stove is closed.
03 meter front valve (house main valve)
meter front valve is the main valve that controls the use of indoor gas. It is mainly used to control the on and off of gas in the home.
In daily life, the valve in front of the meter does not need to be closed every time the gas is used up. However, when the following two situations occur, please close the label valve in time:
1. When traveling far away or not using gas for a long time, the valve in front of the meter should be closed.
2. When an emergency such as a gas leak occurs, the valve in front of the meter should be closed.
Gas leak self-check
In addition to closing the valve in place, you can also perform regular self-checks for gas leaks to ensure safe gas use. You can use the following four tips to determine whether there is a gas leak:
01
Smell: If you smell something like rotten eggs at home, it may be a gas leak.
02
Apply: Dip the brush into soapy water and apply it to the areas where air leakage may occur. Bubbles indicate air leakage.
03
Look: When not using gas, observe the gas meter. If the number changes, there may be a gas leak.
04
test: Install the gas leak alarm . Once there is a gas leak, the alarm will sound.
If there is a gas leak, you can immediately call 95007 China Gas maintenance hotline.
