Xinjiang News, February 3 (Ye Cui, Li Xuguang) Tap water entered the gas pipe, and an oversight not only cost him 20,000 yuan in maintenance costs, but also caused hundreds of households to have no natural gas available. On Feb. 1, both owners were remorseful. "I really didn't expect that the connection between the water inlet of the water heater and the natural gas was reversed, which caused such a big loss......”
On the same day, the reporter came to the Huikang Park community, and the owner, Ms. Wu, told the reporter about the losses caused by the installation error, and she was angry. She told reporters that her water heater was broken, so she asked someone to help repair it, who knew that after the maintenance in the installation, the installation master actually connected the water heater inlet and the natural gas interface to the opposite, resulting in tap water into the gas pipeline, due to the cold weather, after the gas pipeline was frozen, the residents of the whole building could not use gas normally.
After investigation, we found that the gas outage was caused by the tap water entering the natural gas pipeline, so we stepped up the investigation and repair. Jing Guoxin, the person in charge of the pipeline network area of the Hami branch of Xinjiang Guanghui LNG Development Co., Ltd., and the staff immediately carried out the drainage operation of the natural gas of the entire building after an emergency investigation.
A small mistake cost 20,000 yuan, which is really depressing. Ms. Wu said that when the staff opened the release valve of the gas pipeline, it was full of water, but fortunately it was found in time, otherwise the consequences would have been more serious.
Some time ago, Mr. Li, who lives in the Bilu Garden Community, also mistakenly connected the water pipe to the gas pipe, causing the tap water to be poured into the gas pipe, causing 264 households to be unable to use gas normally.
The gas pipeline was full of water, and because the household checked one by one, the household did not find it in time, so the loss caused was relatively large. Jing Guoxin, head of the pipeline network area of Hami Branch of Xinjiang Guanghui LNG Development Co., Ltd., said that the customer service personnel received a report from many residents of Building 5 of the Green Garden that there was no gas, and the repair personnel immediately rushed to the scene, and preliminarily determined that the buried pipeline was flooded, and the emergency plan was immediately activated for emergency repair and gas supply. After multiple investigations, it was found that the ultimate cause of the gas outage was that a user in Bilu Garden found a water heater installer in the corridor sticker, and connected the gas hose and the outlet pipe in reverse when replacing the gas water heater, resulting in the tap water entering the gas pipeline and causing the user to stop gas. After finding out the cause, the company immediately dispatched 10 people and 1 construction unit to purge the pipeline overnight, and the water in the buried pipeline was purged, and the next day began to deal with the outdoor ice blocking pipeline, which was finally processed after 11 days, and all the buildings were affected to resume gas supply.
I found a master casually, because the installation is cheap, so he asked him to install, but I didn't expect the money to be saved, but it cost more than 20,000 ......Mr. Li, a resident, told reporters that he bought a new gas water heater, and he planned to make it cheaper, but he didn't think that the installation master was unprofessional, and installed the water pipe on the road gas pipe, and he didn't find it for three hours.
Jing Guoxin introduced that during this period of time, there have been 3 gas outages caused by the wrong installation of water heaters, so the general public is reminded to choose a professional installation company to standardize the installation of gas appliances, and do not do it yourself, so as to avoid installation errors, affect the normal use of gas by themselves and others, and even cause safety accidents. Especially when it comes to changing the line and installing the pipeline in the household, be sure to ask a professional master to install it to avoid adverse consequences.
In addition, do not try to save money or create new hidden dangers of gas consumption, which will become a major problem affecting the life safety of neighbors. We can't just look at the beauty of indoor realignment, and ignore the norms and standards for gas installation. According to the "Town Gas Regulations", natural gas appliances must be installed by qualified professionals, and if such accidents occur due to self-installation, all consequences shall be borne by themselves. At the same time, it also reminds some unscrupulous businesses that they cannot covet personal interests and ignore the safety of users.
