From the end of winter to the end of winter, because the weather in northern cities is very cold, many residents and users habitually seal their windows to ensure the indoor heating temperature. What needs to be reminded here is that no matter how cold the weather is, we must not forget the common sense of gas related to family safety. The common sense of gas safety that everyone needs to remember is as follows:

1. Pay attention to opening the window for ventilation when using gas.

The density of natural gas is lighter than that of air, and it is easier to form a closed space after leakage. Due to the winter weather, people's sense of smell and actions will be slow (especially for the elderly), which will make natural gas leakage difficult to be detected, and people are prone to danger when starting the ignition or turning on the light. Therefore, it is necessary to open the window for ventilation all year round!

2. Close the valve in front of the furnace.

After using gas, you should get into the habit of closing the valve in front of the furnace. Don't try to save trouble and leave the valve open. If the valve is always open, it will be very dangerous when the burner or connecting hose leaks.

3. Check and replace the hose regularly.

The service life of the connecting hose of household gas cooker is two years. If it is found to be hard, aging and damaged, it should be replaced in time. In addition, the service length of the hose connecting the gas stove should not exceed two meters, which will easily lead to the reduction of natural gas pressure and backfire. It is suggested to use safer stainless steel bellows to transport gas.

4, gas appliance installation selection should be standardized.

The purchased gas stove must be equipped with flameout protection device, the gas water heater must be equipped with forced exhaust gas water heater, and the exhaust flue must directly lead to the outside; Gas appliance should be installed by professionals after purchase. When buying gas appliance products online, be sure to ask about the installation and maintenance after purchase.

5. Emergency treatment after gas leakage is found.

Remember not to panic when you find a natural gas leak. First, open the doors and windows in time to let the leaked natural gas float out directly. The second is to close the main gas valve at home, that is, the valve in front of the dining table, and cut off the gas source; The third is to call the gas company in the outdoor safety zone for repair. Note: Don't touch the electrical switch at will after finding air leakage, don't turn on the range hood for ventilation and exhaust, and don't use open flame to detect leakage.
