Distance from the gas boiler to the gas stove: installation standards in the kitchen

The distance from a gas boiler to a gas stove is not strictly regulated at the legislative level, since the corresponding SNiP was canceled more than 20 years ago. However, 50 cm is usually taken as the minimum requirement. There are other regulatory rules related to the stove and boiler - they are also described in detail in the presented material.

Minimum distance

The installation standards for a gas boiler are not directly provided for by current legislation. There are no specific requirements regarding the interval from the tile to the surface of the boiler. However, in practice it is customary to focus on the norms of SNiP 2.04.08-87, which was discontinued in 2002.

According to this document, the distance between the gas stove and the boiler must be at least 50 cm. This standard applies only to residential premises - houses and apartments. For example, catering establishments have different rules. It is also important to understand that the stove is located only next to the boiler. Those. in no case above him or below him, but only on another level.

Other requirements

In general, you should focus on the standards for the location of equipment, which are indicated in the passport, for example, for a stove or boiler. But if they are not there, pay attention to the general additional requirements for installing gas boilers:

1. There should also be an exhaust ventilation duct.
2. There should be a minimum of 2 m from floor to ceiling.
3. The distance from the boiler to the stove is 50 cm.In this case, the boiler is placed next to the wall, and the interval to the opposite wall is at least 2 m.
4. It is necessary to have a window, the area of ​​which is calculated based on the ratio of 0.03 m2 for each cubic meter of volume. Minimum area – 0.25 m2.
5. There are also requirements for a gas boiler related to its power. If the indicator is within 60 kW, it can be installed anywhere. If more than 60 kW - only in a separate room, an extension, for example, in a basement or basement.

Slab placement

Not only the requirements for installing a gas boiler in an apartment are important, but also for the placement of the stove:

1. If the wall is made of non-combustible building material, then there should be at least 3 cm from the tile to it.
2. The slab must have thermal insulation.
3. The layer of heat-insulating material should be 10 cm larger than the dimensions of the housing.
4. If you place the stove, for example, on a wood floor, you need to cover it on top with a metal sheet or other fireproof material.
5. The minimum distance of a gas pipeline pipe from the wall surface is determined as not less than the diameter of this pipe.

Thus, there are requirements for a gas boiler in the kitchen and utility rooms. The tile can be placed either next to it or a little further, but leaving at least 50 cm. You should not place sockets and other objects made of materials that easily melt above the device.
