Matters needing attention in replacing kitchen flue

In the process of decoration, we all know that the decoration of kitchen flue is very important. During the renovation process, the kitchen flue was not well done, which led to the backflow of kitchen fumes and affected our daily life. Many old buildings are mostly brick-concrete structures, and the flue is mostly brick, so the cross section of the flue is generally small, which will be difficult to transform. Next, let's take a look at the precautions of changing the kitchen flue and the related contents of the installation method of changing the kitchen flue!

Matters needing attention in replacing kitchen flue

1, solve the problem of smoke exhaust: increase the power of the range hood, and leave "air outlets" in the doors and windows.

Because the cross section of the existing building flue cannot be expanded, for every owner, the problem of smoke exhaust can only be improved by increasing the power of his own range hood. However, some owners have changed high-power range hoods at home, and the problem of smoke exhaust has not been greatly improved. The range hood will make a lot of noise after working for a few minutes, so it is very difficult to open the kitchen door. This is because the range hood needs to constantly replenish fresh air while pumping air, otherwise there will be a vacuum when working, which will only make noise without taking away smoke. So the kitchen needs a normal "air supply outlet".

It is worth noting that the requirement of "air supply" in "Residential Design Code" is that some gaps must be left under the kitchen door, or some shutters and ventilation boards should be made on the door panel to continuously replenish air. Some kitchen doors and windows are relatively closed, so it is no wonder that the lampblack will make strange noises.

2. Solve the odor: install a valve.

Reminder: For the renovation of old houses, installing a valve at the smoke inlet of the flue is a good way to solve the odor. This valve is unidirectional. When the range hood works, the valve opens and enters the flue. When other residents discharge smoke into the flue, the valve will be tightly closed to prevent smoke from flowing back into the flue, thus effectively solving the problem of "odor".

At present, there are many special flue valves in the market, and the retail price ranges from 30 yuan to 100 yuan. Generally, smoke crossings are products with a diameter of 15cm, and the valve specifications are relatively uniform.

Almost all gas pipes or gas meters in the kitchen are quite unsightly. Obviously, the gas company pays more attention to safety or easy installation. The modification of gas pipeline must be approved or operated by the gas company (the gas company costs l80~260 yuan). If changes are needed, in principle, the pipes from the gas meter should extend downward as close as possible to the main pipe, and then turn to the vicinity of the gas stove. The height of the horizontal pipe should be 20cm lower than the height of the ground cabinet table. The gas meter of the villa and the outdoor customer pipes can be refitted into the wall or taken from the ground (because the cabinet has feet, it is generally off the ground 10cm), and can be thrown out at the stove position and connected to L: 3. Finally, add a cutoff door at the end of the pipeline.

The above are the precautions for replacing the kitchen flue, and the installation method for replacing the kitchen flue is answered in detail. I wonder if you are satisfied with our introduction.
