The cooking, stew, boiled water in the kitchen, the fire went out suddenly, the stove couldn't be broken, the kitchen cooled, the cooking was done in half, the food was made in half, and the family's dinner was stuck, believing that the vast majority of families had experienced such a terrible thing。
When gas suddenly stops, 90 per cent of the population reacts by panic, either by opening a window or by calling the gas company's guest clothes, then standing at home waiting for the maintenance staff to come in for half an hour, or an hour or two more, with a simple dinner, a hard-breed being dragged into the middle of the night, hungry and anxious, with no room for fire。
But i want to be honest with you today: there is a sudden gas outage at home, 80% of the cases are not pipe failures, gas companies are down, and teachers are not required to repair the house. We ignore small details, trigger the safety of gas installations, and spend one minute at home, without phone calls, no work, no money。
Many people do not know this simple self-help technique, not because they are stupid, but because they don't understand the bottom logic of the gas stop, and are frightened by the idea of “gas danger, don't touch”, because they have to wait for masters to come to the door and waste their time making meals。
Today's article, which does not speak professional terms, does not speak hard to understand, is full of big white words, is full of dry work, makes clear the reasons for the sudden stoppage of gas, self-help techniques, security concerns, bottom logic, and then comes to a standstill, and can be solved in one minute, save time and never again。
First understand the bottom logic: why is the gas suddenly "automated"
Before we talk about the technique, let's get to the bottom of the core, understand it, and you'll never panic again, and you'll know what you can fix and what you have to do with professionals。
Many people think that the gas is dead or the pipe is broken, not at all. The current domestic gas pipelines, gas meters, gas stoves, gas hot water heaters are fully equipped with safe self-locking protection, which is a mandatory state-imposed safety device designed to prevent gas leaks and hazards。
To put it simply: gas equipment detects abnormalities that, in order to protect you, automatically cut off the gas supply and keep the gas from coming out, that's the truth about the sudden breakdown. It is not broken, it is “self-protection, strikes”, and what we need to do is not wait for repairs, but lift anomalies, unlock ourselves and return it to normal work。
So what triggers this lock protection? It's all the easiest thing to ignore in our daily lives:
1. The gas gauge automatically shuts off the gas when the household is in arrears
2. When cooking, the soup spills, the wind blows, the fire is extinguished and the equipment detects no risk of leakage, and the air is immediately cut off
3. Absorption of gas for long periods of time and automatic closure of valves
4. Replacement of batteries, short suspension of electricity, voltage, trigger of surface protection
5. Valves are misoperated, the hoses are slightly bent, and air pressure abnormalities trigger protection。
These cases, which are neither equipment damage nor plumbing failure, do not require repair at all, and require only manual repositioning and re-activation to restore air immediately, which is the underlying reason why masters should not wait for them to come。
There is only one situation in which we have to find a gas company: no protection, no expense, no fire, no gas in the house, no gas in the whole neighborhood, no gas in the whole building, that's a public pipeline overhaul, no trouble, and we can't solve it ourselves, just wait for the gas company to return to gas。
It's the most practical. One minute of self-rescue recovery, 90% of air out
Next is the core, one step at a time, without any tools or expertise, for the elderly and children to learn, and to stop breathing and do it。
First step: 3 seconds of quick screening to clear the hazard
Take three seconds to see two things
1. Smells: the gas is stenched with a odour, the leaks will smell of obvious stinking eggs, and if it smells of stingy noses, the windows will immediately be ventilated, the main valve will be closed, the electrical appliances will not be switched on, the fire will not be lit, the gas company emergency telephone will be called and never operated by itself
2. Look at the neighbours: ask the neighbors upstairs, the right and the right, if they're all down, if the whole building is stopped, it's a public area problem, and they don't have to operate on their own。
Only if there is no smell, only if there is no air in your own house can you use the techniques of repositioning below without risk。
Step 2: addressing the most common situation - gas meters default/protection valves (60% of stoppage)
Now, all domestic uses are smart-connected gas meters, self-carrying valves, and defaults, abnormalities, and low power are automatically turned off, which is the most common reason for the gas stoppage。
1. Find a gas watch in the home, generally in the kitchen cabinet, on the balcony or in the house, looking at the screen on the watch
2. If the screen displays a closed valve, default, abnormal, low voltage, the watch is locked
3. First viewing of the amount of electricity: the four section 5 batteries on the table, which have been without electricity for a long time, and which cannot be supplied by air pressure, will be broken, and the batteries will be replaced in about a year, and the batteries will not be replaced by new batteries, either
4. Checking back on the charges: opening up the payment of treasures, microclinics, finding the cost of living-gas, entering the home gas number to see if the charges are owed, paying up the charges, the forms do not open the valves automatically and need to be reset manually
Recoup operation: black small buttons, functional keys, double bit keys found on the gas table (different brand positions, on the surface, obvious), 5-10 seconds long, hearing the "polls" in the table, screen displaying "open valves, normal" and valves opening and airing。
It's that simple, long double button, unlocked, no phone calls, no waiting for masters, pay the electricity, change the battery, just press it。
Step 3: solving the second common situation — the burning of gas stoves to protect the gas
Food is being prepared, the fire is suddenly extinguished, and it can't be hit at all. This is when the fire-out protection of the stoves is triggered, it's a mandatory national security device that automatically breaks off the gas and prevents gas leaks。
1. To screw all the gas stove switches to the closing position and not keep the ignition on
2. Open the kitchen window for one minute and disperse the residual gas
3. Find a fire extinguisher of the gas stove (white metal needle next to the torch) to see if it is covered with soup, oil, clean with dry rags, which can cause sensory failure and constant gas breakdown
4. Re-fire: hold the gas stove switch and hold it for three to five seconds. Don ' t let go until the needle senses the flame, and then the fire is normal。
Many people break their hands when they're on fire, and the protective device is still open, and if they hold it for a few seconds, 90 per cent of them can hit it, and it's not broken。
Step four: total valves closing by error, simplest operation
Sometimes the house is cleaned, the cabinets are moved, the main valve of the gas pipeline is accidentally encountered, and when it closes, the air is gone。
The valves and pipelines are opened in parallel, and the pipe is shut vertically. All you have to do is to twist the valves to a parallel position with the pipe, so that the vents are restored, and when they are screwed, they are softer, so that they do not use force。
After this three-step operation, the gas in the home will be almost normal for no more than a minute, without spending money or waiting for the master to do it on his own。
It's important to remember that you can't do these four things without stepping on them. The pit
We're on our own. The core is secure. We can't do these four things
1. Refrain from dismantling gas meters, pipes and valves: these are specialized gas equipment with lead seals, which are self-dismantling, retrofitting and damaging, and are illegal, entailing not only fines, but also a serious risk of leaking, and can only be broken up with gas companies
2. Refrain from checking leaks with a clear fire: after the gas has stopped, do not approach pipes with lighters, matches, valves and leaks, if leaks occur, they will explode directly, they will be very dangerous, they will smell only, or they will be painted with soap
3. No violent operation of valves and buttons: repositioning, twisting, scrambling, scrambling, scrambling, scrambling, breaking, changing, changing, instead paying for maintenance
4. In the event that the smell of the stinking eggs and the smell of the open window is not lost, the main valve is immediately closed, the main valve is evacuated outside the room, the gas company emergency telephone is used, and no attempt is made to ignite or operate electrical appliances。
As long as these four lines are secured, they are fully functional and secure without any risk。
Why would a lot of people rather wait than do it themselves? The bottom line is real
My friends, neighbours, i've had a lot of trouble, and i've had to wait for my master to come home for two reasons:
First, fear of danger, fear of damage, feeling that gas is dangerous, and you don't understand it, you've broken it, you've leaked it, you can't take responsibility
Secondly, i don't know the principle, and i think it's broken. Only the maintenance master can fix it。
In fact, it's plain to say that it doesn't understand the bottom logic, and it's frightened by the inherent impression of a gas hazard。
And let me be honest with you: the gas equipment now, which is very well-equipped and capable of operating on its own hand, is a safe design, risk-free operation, a truly dangerous pipe, a core, a sealed section that we can neither touch nor open。
We do repositioning, changing batteries, twisting valves, cleaning needles, all routines, as simple as changing light bulbs, closing water taps, without any technical threshold, and without any danger, as long as we do not break down or leak out of air, we can do it without fear。
Instead, he kept waiting for the master to come to the house. It was a meal that took hours, starved and delayed。
Three things are done every day to reduce the sudden pause from the root
In order to keep the rest of the world out of trouble, three small things can be done on a daily basis to avoid most of the sudden:
1. Periodic refuelling of gas watch batteries: fixed-to-use replacement of new battery 5 once a year, and not waiting for power to run out to avoid abrupt gas breaks
2. Timely payment of gas charges: do not wait until the charges are exhausted, the payment of automatic contributions by the micro-credit facility, keeping the balance open and saving the day
3. Keeping the stove clean: cooking the cookers clean in a timely manner, so that the oil is not covered by fire and sensors, so that the fire is good and does not trigger a gas break。
At the end
Most of the bad things in life are small things, and simple things are complicated only when we don't understand methods and principles。
The sudden breakdown of gas in the home, the real need not panic, the need not to make phone calls, the need not to dry, and 80 per cent of all cases, the equipment triggers safety, and it takes one minute to press the double key, change the battery, and clean the stove。
Learns the logic of the bottom, masters this little technique, later encounters a suffocation, can't afford to solve itself, saves time, and no longer has to waste hours for a meal, a pot of water。
Finally, we should like to remind you that, in the first paragraph of the article on safety, we must act in a safe and safe manner。
This article, which is full of dry work, without a word of crap, will be collected and forwarded to the elderly and families, and will be of great help at a critical time, with fewer turns and less suffering
