Forget the plugs and gas interfaces under the operating table? How am i supposed to save it
What's the most devastating thing in the renovation? Not budget overruns, not delays in construction, but — the tiles have been pasted, the cupboards have been put on the table, the table has been buttoned, and look back: there is no plug below the operating table, all the garbage disposal and water purification units have been set up; there is no shadow of the gas interface next to the stove, and there is no place for the stoves to take over。
This is a "hydropower locator crash site" that's going to play here several times a year. You think i'm going to teach you, "why didn't you come to me earlier?" no, i understand you first — for reasons that are too common to me — for reasons that were busy, for reasons of negligence, for reasons that felt “should be enough”. But understanding is understanding, and pots are filled. This is what nanjing green chef is doing today, telling you: "how can you save a car after a "turner"
I. Forget the place under the operation — the three remedies
Option 1: clear plugins (simplified, most commonly used)
Application scenario: tiles have been placed under the sink and the operating table but near the power supply。
Operational steps: a bvvb cord comes out of the nearest position (2. 5mm2 wire is recommended), follows a dark line along the foot line or the back plate of the cabinet, and installs a clear connector box and plugin panel at the required location. The line goes as far as possible through the back of the cupboard and is largely invisible outside。
Caution: the power and quality of the clearly installed trunks must be achieved, and the wet kitchen environment recommends the selection of over-temperature ip44s; circuit re-routing must be operated by a certified electrician, which is the safety floor。
Option 2: orbital plugs (suitable near the stage)
Appliance scenario: plugs are left over the operating table, but they are too small, too many appliances to expand。
Modalities: replace the original position of a five-hole plugin with an orbital plugin (online search for a “discretionary orbital plugin”), each interface in the orbit can be isolated and a single orbit can be inserted into four or five appliances at the same time。
Bright spots: not only is the programme functionally turned over, but it also has a good face, especially for families with multi-wielder kitchens。
Option 3: brick breaker (most thorough, but bulky)
Application scenario: the original plug position is completely incorrect and power is not available on the perimeter。
Practice: identify the right position on the tiles, drill the holes on the wall for the size of the connector box, re-open the chute and put the bricks back behind the box。
Recommendation: try not to move the tiles to open the slots, as their vibrations tend to oscillate the sand around the tiles and deal with cracking later。
Green cook: i'd rather recommend a combination of "small plug-in-camber-camber shack." lines can be drawn from behind the backboard of the cabinet to the corner below the operating table, with a clearly loaded box -- to block the water purification or garbage processor directly in front, without crouching down, largely invisible, without sacrificing safety, and with little movement, why not
(small reminder: the specific route to be chosen must be the site of the electrician to confirm the circuit load and ensure that the additional plug will not exceed the circuit load
Ii. Forget to leave the gas interface on the stove — this is a “red wire”, never touch it
There is a painful law in the renovation industry: the plug leaks, but the gas interface leaks, and it can't be filled。
Why? I repeat:
It's not just security and compliance that gas pipelines are strictly forbidden to break down, modify or install themselves. – in fact, national norms are zero compromises on this point。
Formal processes: in-house pipe transfer procedures must be applied for in conjunction with nanjing hong kong gas company, where the work is carried out by a professional with a gas-required salary。
Gas construction is not a business that can be handled by a general renovation company. – unauthorized changes to gas pipelines would not only lead to irregular air flow and acceptance at a later stage, but would be a major accident in the event of an accident。
Nanjing gas interface remediation process
Step 1: call the nanjing harbour gas hotline 9688 9688。
The telephone should be stored! The customer's uniform should be clearly informed: “at the kitchen stove, the gas interface has been set aside and an application for a change in the domestic gas facility is required”。
Step 2: after the reception, the builder will contact you to make an appointment。
Professionals will view the kitchen structure at the door, measure the route and interface location, and inform the cost。
Step 3: to pay for the relocation work at the customer service centre counter。
Cost reference criteria: within 2 metres of the movement of the indoor pipe line, the cost of moving gas installations within the household is $200/household; an increase of $30 per additional metre (less than 1 metre at 1 metre)。
Step four: home-to-door management by construction staff。
Work is done at the door within 15 working days of the general fee and the interface is provided with suitable reserved seats for the stove。
Step 5: full pre-air acceptance。
Following the completion of the overhaul of the gas pipeline, an air check-up appointment was made with nanjing harbour — they would perform the air-container test (pressure test) to enable formal air-transmission。
Iii. Safe redline: safe delivery of the gas pline from the electronic package
A friend might ask, "how about a gas interface and a plug next to it?"
That's the key. The safety distance of gas pipes, gas meters and power outlets is strictly defined:
A horizontal safety space of not less than 15 cm
(b) a minimum net distance of 25 cm and a cross-laying of 10 cm between indoor gas pipelines and open wires or cables
The net distance between the main tube and the flamer should not be less than 30 cm。
I've seen too many "safe red line" blind spots at the site: last year a client, master honghua, came to the door and put two plugs in 30 cm near the gas stove, stuck in the air. Clients are on the spot in a hurry — they're finished, they're ready, they can't change. This distance of “25cm or more” cannot be reduced by one centimetre. This is not up to the decorator. It is up to national norms。
Thus, prior to filling the gas interface, the gas company teacher confirmed that the location of the plug next to the interface was in accordance with the safe space. If the existing plugs are too close to the gas interface, the plugs will have to be fixed before the gas is activated。
Iv. Guide to pit avoidance: restarting hydropower “3 keys”
The amount of money and trouble spent on remedy will not be repeated as follows. I'll sum up some of the “life-saving” principles that will be useful in the future:
We'll order cabinet appliances, then we'll run the hydroelectrics。
This is the iron of the iron. Don't listen to the plumber saying, "little 30 cm high general" or look at it later. You don't know the exact size of your integrated stove, your water purification machine, your dishwasher. The plug is useless。
Kitchen slots “more than less”, at least eight。
Each 60-80cm surface operating area will have a five-hole plugin with an independent switch, 30 cm; at least 2-3 cm below the sink, 50 cm below the surface - which does not need electricity? The dishwasher, the steamer, the smoker and the refrigerator are set aside separately。
Gas construction must be submitted well in advance of construction。
Don't drag it to the water and water, the wall is covered with bricks, and suddenly it's “forgot to leave the interface”. In the case of gas, it is important to find a solution for the gas company before starting work, to clearly walk the pipeline, and never wait。
Control drawings for water and electricity adaptation, one item at a time。
At the acceptance stage, a ruler is used to determine the height and spacing of each point against the design plan, with an error not exceeding 3 mm. No bricks are laid unless acceptance passes. That's not going to save。
Green chef summary: don't get caught in the vicious circle of patches
These options, you might think, “just forget it”。
But let me remind you: the water and gas in the kitchen is not finished。
A plug was added, the line was connected and the surface was not visible — but what could be the danger? Behind each remedy is a potential security concern:
The line with the clear interpolation went to the back of the cupboard
New garbage disposal on the original circuit. Will you jump
When the gas interfaces were modified, did the construction staff put in place the card
So the "remediation works" are not agreed upon, but are "re-designed according to national standards". Whether it selects a plug, or an orbital plug, or retrofitting a gas company, each step requires a certified electrical and gas company professional construction, each of which selects a 3c certified product. In the end, the biggest pit in the kitchen was not a mistake — it was a mistake to save the $3,500 in order to plant a mine. Short roads burned and gas leaked, which was more expensive than renovation。
I'm nanjing green chef, focused on hydro-gas pipeline optimization for 15 years. We do not do the “face-to-face work”, but we want — even at a later stage — to change our minds to compliance and to the customer's presence。
If you're facing similar problems, you don't know what to do, you're worried about the distance of the pipe, or you need a professional connection between the utility and the gas company — you can ask me directly. In nanjing, we can provide full process professional support from on-site survey to rehabilitation。
