    There are three types of natural gas valves, namely gas stove valves, front valves, and rear valves. The gas stove must be turned off every day, and it must be turned off after cooking, otherwise it is easy to cause gas leakage. In addition to the trouble, many households do not close the valve when they run out of natural gas.

    They are always worried that repeated shut-offs every day will damage the valve and shorten its lifespan. Actually, there is no need to think so. Generally speaking, there are generally two valves after natural gas enters the home, one is called the valve in front of the meter and the other is called the valve in front of the stove.

    The front valve is basically not closed, and the front valve of the furnace will be closed when the gas is used up at the earliest. Nowadays, many gas companies have replaced the valves and hoses in front of the furnace with valves with overflow protection devices, and the hoses have been replaced with metal hoses.

    So, if you have a valve with protection, there is no need to turn it off when you use the gas every day.

    The on-off valve of the gas stove is now of reliable quality, and there is no problem in switching it on and off more than 30,000 times. The valve must be closed at all times, not for economy, but for safety. In the future, natural gas users should gradually install gas leakage alarms, replace hoses with metal hoses, and replace valves with valves with overflow protection devices.

    The tail valve is the front valve, and the main factor in determining whether the front valve is needed is the hose material. If it is a hose, close the valve in front of the gas stove in time when it is used up. Hoses are prone to deterioration, and if a crack appears, it can cause air leakage.

    Therefore, it is not only necessary to close the valve in front of the furnace in time, but also to replace the hose every 18 months.

    If it is a stainless steel pipe.

    There is no need to close the valve in front of the furnace every day. The metal pipe has the advantages of high temperature resistance and wear resistance, and can be used for up to 8 years. The front valve, which is usually installed in the cabinet in the closed position, is the main valve used to control the use of gas in the room.

    It is not very convenient to operate, so there is no need to switch it except in the case of a long period of time when no one lives or there is an accidental gas leak. The front valve is the control valve between the cooktop and the gas pipe. It is recommended to turn off after cooking.

    This is because the rear of the valve in front of the furnace is connected to the gas hose, which has been used for a long time and has certain safety hazards.

    There may be a risk of air leakage.

    Secondly, some homes have a longer lifespan of gas stoves. If you just close the valve on the gas stove, you may not close it. So it's best to turn off the front valve of the stove when not in use, so that it can be safer.

    Some people think that turn off the heat first, then turn off the stove. After the gas is used up, there will be some gas left in the gas pipeline, resulting in gas waste. At the same time, the evaporation of gases into the air can pose a threat to our health, so we should turn off the furnace first.

    However, if the stove is turned off first, the residual gas in the pipe will continue to burn, and when the gas is about to run out, the gas stove and valve may back-suck because there is no air pressure, that is, the flame burns along the gas pipe, causing a fire. So the correct conclusion is: turn off the heat first, then turn off the stove.

    Don't make a mistake because you feel like it's a waste of gas.

    For safety reasons, the natural gas valve can be closed every day.

    Generally, the natural gas at home will be installed with a valve in front of the meter and a valve in front of the stove, and the valve in front of the stove can be closed in general, and the valve in front of the meter can not be closed at will. And it is best to check the valve in two or three months to avoid damage to the valve and deal with it in time to avoid more serious accidents.

    It does not need to be closed every day, and Meituan is not easy to cause valve aging, and most of the current natural gas valves have roommate alarm systems, which can work well even if they are not closed. However, when you go out or do not use natural gas for a long time, you need to turn off the natural gas, and regularly take care of the natural gas pipeline to avoid damage to the pipeline due to aging.

    Closures are required on a daily basis. Be sure not to let children turn it off, be sure to close it tightly when closing, be sure not to take an open flame when approaching natural gas, and do not turn on the natural gas switch after closing the natural gas valve.

    Personally, I don't feel that I need to, if you go out far away, you can turn it off, if you use it every day, you can check whether there is any gas leakage when you use it, pay attention to the maintenance of the surrounding environment of the gas stove, don't put some flammable things, and turn it off in time when you don't use it.

    It's a matter of safety, and the clear answer is that you need to shut down every day. Nowadays, basically every household in the urban area is equipped with natural gas, and maintaining a good habit of using natural gas is not only beneficial to oneself, but also responsible for others.

    Strictly speaking, the gas valve needs to be closed every time you finish cooking, but this can be a bit of a hassle and many people can't do it, so we should at least check the kitchen every night before going to bed, close the valve, and maintain good ventilation.

    Reluctant to open and close the gas valve frequently for fear of damaging the gas valve?

    In addition to being troublesome, another important reason why many people do not close the valve after using natural gas is that they are worried that frequent switching will damage the valve and shorten the life of the valve.

    In fact, this kind of thinking does not need to be there at all, a normal natural gas valve can basically be turned on and off - 50,000 times.

    Let's say you switch on and off 10 times a day, 3600 times a year, and you can use it for 10 years, which is far from the maximum number of times you can use it.

    Moreover, a valve is actually not expensive, just replace it if it is broken, safety first!

    If you don't close the natural gas valve all the time, it can lead to corrosion of the pipe connecting the valve to the cooktop, and if there is a problem with the hose and it is easy to cause an accident.

    In addition, some people will worry that closing the natural gas valve too often will cause the switch to loosen and cause gas leakage. In fact, this concern is redundant, the quality of the switch is now guaranteed, and it is not a problem to use forty or fifty thousand times, that is to say, you switch thirty times a day, for four consecutive years, but only more than forty thousand, and for the average family, at most four or five times a day, it is conceivable that the switch is enough for you to use for one or two decades.

    Both the front and front valves should be closed.

    If you use natural gas at home regularly, turn off the stove valve when you're done with it.

    If you use natural gas occasionally and travel from time to time, you should pay attention and remember to close the valve in front of the meter when you go out.

    In addition, it is better to recommend that homes that use natural gas, it is better to install a natural gas alarm, this thing is not very expensive, but it can save lives at critical moments, after all, it smells gas leaks before your nose.

    There are two natural gas valves in the house, one in front of the gas meter, and the other behind the gas meter and in front of the stove. The valve in front of the stove should be closed when the meal is finished so that it is safe. The valve in front of the gas meter does not need to be closed every day, and if you use gas every day, it can always be opened.

    If you are out of the house for a few days, turn it off.

    Answer: There are generally two valves after natural gas enters the home, one is called the valve in front of the meter, the valve in front of the meter is basically not closed, the valve in front of the stove will be closed after the gas is used up at the earliest, and now many gas companies have installed the valve and hose in front of the stove, which has been replaced with a valve with an overcurrent protection device, and the hose is replaced with a metal hose, so if you are a valve with protection, there is no need to close it when you use gas every day, and the switch valve of the gas stove is now of very reliable quality, and there is no problem with switching more than 30,000 times. As a result, there are no leaks during the normal service life of the gas stove. Therefore, there is no need to switch off the pre-stove valve.

    Household gas valves include public pipeline valves, household main valves (front of the meter valve), gas stove valves (front of the stove valve), and different valves are treated differently. Public plumbing valves have little to do with our family. It is forbidden to switch on and off arbitrarily, and it is strictly forbidden to close without accidents.

    It is strictly forbidden to open it at will after the closure in the event of an accident. The household main valve (front of the meter valve) does not need to be closed every day, and is only closed when the natural gas is not used for a long time, or the gas equipment is faulty and needs to be repaired or replaced. First of all, the installation position of the gas meter is generally closed during the decoration.

    The common ones are installed in the cabinet, and there is a certain position from the ground, which is not very convenient to operate. So it's not usually to operate the valve. Secondly, because the valves in front of the gas meter are all connected through galvanized pipes and then using wire joints.

    Therefore, this part of the pipeline will not appear to be aging and leakage, and this valve is only used as a general maintenance valve, not as a usual operation valve.

    Special attention should be paid to the safety aspect when closing the valve. First of all, the gas company's home inspection, if the gas pipe is found to be aging and the valve is loose during the inspection, it must be replaced in time to avoid accidents. Secondly, you must pay attention to the gas situation at home at ordinary times, and check the gas stove in the kitchen every day before going to bed and going out, and whether you have forgotten to turn it off.

    If you are out for more than two days, turn off the gas main valve. If you find any peculiar smell, be sure to close the valve in time and report for repair. In addition, in winter, in order to warm the room and close the doors and windows, in case the valve is loose, or the gas pipe leaks, there is a great safety hazard, so the kitchen window should also be always open to keep the kitchen and indoor ventilation, even if there is a slight leakage of gas, it will not cause deflagration.

    After the natural gas enters the room, there are usually two valves, one is the valve in front of the meter and the other is the valve in front of the furnace. The front valve of the meter is basically not closed. When the gas is depleted, the valve in front of the furnace will close at the earliest.

    Now many gas companies have replaced the front valve and hose of the furnace with a valve with an overflow protection device, and there is no need to close the valve when using gas every day, and now the quality of the on/off valve of the gas stove is very reliable, and there is no problem in opening and closing it more than 30,000 times, and there will be no leakage during the normal service life of the gas stove.

    Household gas valves include utility pipeline valves, household general valves and gas stove valves. Different valves are handled differently. Public plumbing valves have little to do with our family.

    It is strictly forbidden to open and close without accidents, and it is strictly forbidden to open it at will. The home main valve does not need to be closed every day. Natural gas can only be turned off when the gas is not used for a long time, or when the gas equipment is faulty and needs to be repaired or replaced, the installation position of the gas meter is generally closed during decoration.

    It is commonly installed in the cabinet, with a certain position from the ground, and the operation is not very convenient. It is usually not necessary to operate this valve, the valve in front of the gas meter is connected by a galvanized pipe and then by a threaded fitting. Natural gas needs to be used almost every day, and natural gas is used many times a day.

    Closing the valve after each use is a hassle. Some people are reluctant to close the valve, and if the valve is opened and closed frequently, it is easy to shorten the life of the valve.

    To be on the safe side, try to close the natural gas valve after each use. In daily life, many people feel that when using natural gas, they have closed the valve in front of the furnace, so there is no need to close the natural gas valve, so it is safe enough. But in fact, if they do not close the gas valve for a long time, the distance between the gas valve and the furnace pipe will cause an accident.

    This hose can be easily corroded, and once there is a problem, it can easily lead to a natural gas leak, which can lead to some accidents. When using natural gas at home, always remember to close the valve in front of the furnace and the gas valve at the same time, and it is best to install an alarm.
