Transferring a gas stove within the kitchen and to another room: rules for transfer and the procedure for its approval

When taking an individual approach to planning your apartment, a necessary measure is to move the gas stove within the kitchen or even to another room. Currently, the layout of apartments made according to standard architectural schemes does not always suit the owners. The standards used in building houses do not make it possible to distribute the usable area of ​​the kitchen to the maximum. That is why the transfer of a gas stove and the issues of coordinating this process are currently quite relevant.

However, solving the problem of moving a slab is not so difficult; it is enough to approach it competently and carry out a simple algorithm of actions. This article discusses all the necessary steps, the implementation of which will help to remodel and move the gas stove without violating fire safety rules, which will protect you from unwanted problems associated with this operation in the future.

Moving a gas stove in the kitchen

Do you know if a gas stove can be moved within the kitchen? Then you should carefully read the rules for operating residential premises. So, in accordance with Resolution of the State Construction Committee of the Russian Federation No. 170 dated September 27, 2003 “On approval of the Rules and Standards for the Technical Operation of the Housing Stock”, moving a gas stove within the kitchen, if the length of the gas hose allows, does not constitute installation of a gas system, and accordingly is not prohibited.

Therefore, the gas stove can be moved independently, as far as the length allows hoseconnecting the slab with stationary communications. In this case, the hose itself cannot be pulled - it must hang freely. Such an operation will not be a redevelopment and therefore does not require approvals.

If it is planned to move the slab, which will result in interference with the gas supply system, then this operation will already be considered a redevelopment and will require creation of a detailed diagram And coordination with government agencies.

The length of the hose for a gas stove can be no more than 4 meters. This length allows, if necessary, to move the gas stove independently during renovation work or when creating a designer style in the kitchen. Experts do not recommend using metal hoses, as the internal rubber layer wears out quickly and leaks may occur.

Before planning to move the slab, you need to know what is prohibited during redevelopment.

What is prohibited from changing during redevelopment?

According to requirements Housing Code In the Russian Federation, when making changes inside a residential premises, it is prohibited:

• worsen living conditions;
• change or eliminate the ventilation system;
• combine a kitchen with a gas stove with a living space;
• combine the kitchen with the balcony;
• cause damage to the internal structure of the apartment.

Thus, it will be possible to coordinate the movement of a gas stove if officials do not see any of the above points in the provided project.

Requirements for moving a gas stove

The main condition for redevelopment is compliance with all established standards.

They are formulated (detailed) in the following legal acts:

• IN fire safety requirements buildings (Federal Law “Technical Regulations on Fire Safety Requirements” dated July 22, 2008 N 123-FZ).
• In the rules for work in gas distribution systems (“SP 62.13330.2011*. Set of rules. Gas distribution systems. Updated version of SNiP 42-01-2002″ (approved by Order of the Ministry of Regional Development of Russia dated December 27, 2010 N 780).
• IN technical regulations on the safety of buildings and structures (Federal Law “Technical Regulations on the Safety of Buildings and Structures” dated December 30, 2009 N 384-FZ).
• In sanitary and hygienic requirements SanPiN 2.2.1 2.1.1.1278-03.

These documents are approved at the state level and are mandatory for use.

When designing the design of a future kitchen, you should initially prepare communications for installing a gas stove. This must be stipulated in the contract with the developer company, or done with the help of specialists before the delivery of the house.

Among the requirements are the following:

• connecting the gas stove to the gas supply system must be made with one solid hose; extensions or connections with several hoses are strictly prohibited;
• the hose must not cross the gas pipe;
• It is prohibited to place a gas stove outside the kitchen, including moving and installing a gas stove in another room, in the hallway and in the basement;
• there must be free access to gas pipes, all sections of the pipeline must be accessible for visual inspection;
• availability is required doors to the kitchen;
• It is necessary to have a window with a window;
• the gas tap must be located next to the gas stove, but outside the heating zone; it is prohibited to place it above the stove or outside the kitchen;
• availability must be provided gas tap;
• the gas pipeline should not cross the electrical cable; there should be a distance of at least 10 cm between them;
• the stove cannot be located near a window; installation in kitchens or rooms without natural light is prohibited;
• the minimum distance from the window or door should exceed 50 cm;
• installing a gas stove next to a refrigerator or any other refrigeration equipment is prohibited (we also recommend that you read the information on placement refrigerator near the gas pipe);
• each gas appliance requires a separate gas tap, to which the gas pipe must be connected without threaded connections;
• horizontal sections of the gas pipe must be at a height of more than 50 cm from the floor.

The punctual fulfillment of these requirements primarily ensures operational safety gas equipment. Therefore, it is important to comply with them.

The gas pipe must always be accessible for inspection. Walling it up or covering it with a box is prohibited. It is possible to hide it inside the furniture, but there should be easy access to it

It is worth remembering that the gas stove will be the main work surface in the kitchen.Therefore, when remodeling, you should make sure that the approach to it is convenient, and further use is comfortable and safe.

The procedure for redevelopment

Any significant redevelopment must begin with approval. All. As for gas equipment, this is work with increased danger, so interference and deviation from the standard can be considered a gross violation, and also entail various consequences, including administrative punishment. Therefore, in order to correctly move a gas stove to another place, it is necessary to comply with all the norms prescribed by law.

We should not forget that gas equipment is technically complex and all installation work is extremely dangerous. Such work should only be carried out gas company specialists.

To begin redevelopment, you need to familiarize yourself with the standards applicable to gas supply systems, which are prescribed SNiP 41-01-2003. This document, developed back in the Soviet Union, has undergone a number of changes at the present time and regulates the order of gas pipes and the location of the gas stove in the kitchen.

Having natural light in the kitchen is a must. The minimum permissible dimensions of door and window openings are specified in SanPiN 2.2.1 2.1.1.1278-03. They are designed based on the needs of the human visual system

Thus, even in order to move the gas supply to the stove in an apartment, it is necessary to comply with all requirements and necessarily call specialists to carry out the work.

Obtaining permission for redevelopment consists of several stages. Let's take a closer look at them.

Stage 1 - writing an application to move the slab

first you have to write an application for relocation and conduct a survey of the premises for the possibility of redevelopment.

After inspection by a specialist and drawing up a plan for transferring the slab, you will need to contact the BTI. There, a conclusion is issued on the current state of the building, on the basis of which an analysis of the possibility of redevelopment is carried out.

It will also be necessary to purchase a floor plan, which will be used when forming the project.

Stage 2 - obtaining a conclusion and its approval

Next, you should obtain a conclusion from the capital repairs department at the Administration of the locality. This conclusion is based on a document from the BTI.

Then the conclusion should be agreed upon with the fire inspection authority. This is a necessary stage that should not be ignored, since it is this authority that can not only fine, but also completely prohibit redevelopment. For approval, in addition to the conclusion, a redevelopment plan will be needed.

The following documents will be required for approval:

• passport;
• a document confirming ownership of the apartment;
• floor plan of the house;
• planned redevelopment plan;
• contract for redevelopment work;
• extract from the house register;
• written consent for redevelopment of all apartment residents
• BTI technical report;
• an extract from the personal account confirming the absence of debts for utility services.

Preparation of documents and their signing can take from one to three months. But obtaining permission for redevelopment helps in the future not to encounter unwanted problems.

Obtaining permission to redevelop and move a gas stove is a prerequisite.In the absence of permission and the redevelopment has been completed, further sale of the apartment with re-registration will be impossible

Stage 3 - contacting the housing inspectorate

The last stage is contacting the housing inspectorate and the architecture department at the Administration of the locality. These authorities make the final decision on the possibility of redevelopment.

Obtaining permission is a rather complicated operation. However, clearly going through these bureaucratic stages will save you from unnecessary problems in the future.

Mandatory conditions for transfer approval

As mentioned above, moving a gas stove requires approval, and in some cases the transfer is not possible at all.

Thus, it is forbidden to create a kitchen in any other living room. If you do not coordinate the redevelopment, then all this can threaten with fines and litigation, as a result of which, if the court decisions are not followed, you could lose the apartment altogether. Therefore, even if you are planning to move the gas supply to the household gas stove in the apartment, this step must be agreed upon.

We recommend that you familiarize yourself with what is provided fines for violating the rules ensuring safety when using gas equipment.

A range hood is a necessary element in a kitchen where a lot of cooking is done. But when installing it, it is necessary to comply with a number of conditions: compliance with the established distances from the stove to the hood, compliance of the hood power with the kitchen area

However, there are a couple of redevelopment options that are usually approved and can be completed.

To transfer a gas stove to another non-residential room, several conditions must be met:

• the room where the gas stove will be located must be isolated from other living spaces;
• natural light is required;
• the gas pipe leading to the stove should not be routed through residential premises;
• supplying a ventilation duct from the main house exhaust ventilation.

Thus, fulfilling these requirements will guarantee that the redevelopment project will be approved.

It is worth noting that in apartments located on the first and second floors, where there are no other living quarters below, it is possible to move a gas stove to any other room, the main thing is that the conditions written above are met.

This video, shot by one of the TV channels, talks about the reasons (why it’s not possible) and the consequences of illegally moving a gas stove:

Based on everything said above, we can conclude that it is possible to move the slabs within the kitchen if the length of the hose used for connection allows it to remain in a loose state. Moreover, such an operation is not even considered a redevelopment. Also, the gas stove can be moved to another room, subject to a number of conditions and with the mandatory approval of the redevelopment by the relevant government agencies.
