The reason why the meters in Room 302 or other buildings downstairs are installed outdoors is because they were installed before the residential area moved in or the nozzles were reserved outdoors (there were few residents who moved in at that time and there was no objection). In recent years, the city gas company has repeatedly encountered the situation of installing gas meters outdoors in old residential areas, but it has also encountered many complaints from other residents in the building that installing gas meters outdoors will affect the access and safety of others, which is one of them. Second, your community belongs to the old community, and the gas pipeline of your residents has not yet entered. According to the charging regulations and standards, the cost of pipeline installation and materials behind the meter shall be borne by the user. If the gas meter is installed outdoors, the material cost behind the meter is relatively higher than that installed indoors.
2. If it can't be installed outdoors, why do you want to install it here when you know that my home is currently installed under the sink and the power supply is unsafe?
The municipal gas company has asked the owner who was present at the time of installation whether the power switch next to the gas meter can be removed or sealed, and the owner clearly indicated that it can. On the premise of ensuring safety and customer consent, the city gas company installed the gas meter under the sink. Although the location shown in the user's photo can be installed according to the gas installation specification, laying gas pipeline (galvanized pipe) along the wall will add two more interfaces (that is, possible leakage points) in addition to the need for users to punch holes in the wall (grid wall) in the cabinet. Therefore, from the perspective of security, choose the scheme with the least number of interfaces, that is, install it at the current location. If the customer requests to install it outdoors, the municipal gas company can arrange for re-installation, but the material cost behind the table needs to be borne by the customer. At the same time, if there are complaints and obstacles from other residents in the building, customers need to come forward to coordinate and deal with them.
Thank you for your support and understanding of gas industry in our city.
