FORUMHOUSE users have already read the article, which talked about the features of choosing a heating and water supply system. Therefore, readers of our site are well aware that at the moment natural gas is one of the most cost-effective fuels. And the boiler operating on it is distinguished by the maximum level of automation, which ensures the comfort of living in a private one.

In this article, we will consider the procedure for connecting gas to a private house and talk about the procedure for the gas main.

Gas connection - 2017: procedure-related changes.

Despite all the benefits that the gas supply promises, the main obstacle to the "blue" fuel is the high cost of connecting gas to the house. Depending on the region, it can be 500 thousand rubles or more. And many novice developers simply do not know where the process of gasification of a cottage begins.

Therefore, in order to bring blue fuel to the house, first of all, it is necessary to familiarize yourself with the new ones, through which gas is connected to a private house. So, when connecting gas, Mosoblgaz is guided by a new resolution.

Rules for connecting a house to gas

Viktoria Grebennik, Deputy Head of the Department for Technological Connection and Services, State Unitary Enterprise MO Mosoblgaz:

– Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 1314 came into force on March 1, 2014. One of the key changes was that the contractor for all technological connection work related to the gasification of any facilities is now a gas distribution organization (GDO).

Previously, the developer had to independently deal with all activities in order to connect gas to the house: from obtaining technical specifications to coordinating the passage of the gas pipeline to various owners and formalizing all legal relations. According to the new resolution, all issues related to connection to gas networks up to the boundaries of the applicants' land plots are resolved by the GDO. That is, if a consumer wants to connect gas, he needs to contact Gorgaz, Oblgaz (in the Moscow Region - Mosoblgaz). Submit all the necessary documents there and conclude an agreement for connection to gas networks, which indicates the work carried out by the GDO to gasify the facility, the amount for the services provided and the deadline. The Contractor under this agreement is GRO.

Today, it has become more difficult to supply gas from the point of view of legislation. The existing procedure differs from the previous one primarily in that the Technical Conditions, according to which design and construction can be carried out, ceased to exist as an independent document. They exist as part of an annex to the connection agreement. The connection of gas in 2017 provides that the technical conditions, which can be obtained within 14 days, are preliminary and speak only of the possibility of gasification. It is possible to supply gas, but it is impossible to build or design within the framework of the new requirements.

According to the new requirements, only those consumers whose MCHRG (maximum hourly gas consumption) is more than 300 cubic meters per hour must make a request for preliminary specifications sent to the GDO without fail.

How much does a gas connection cost

The main question that concerns applicants at the stage of making a decision on gasification of their home is how much it costs to connect gas. Technological connection of gas has a number of conditions for determining the cost. It proceeds from those measures that need to be carried out for the gasification of the facility. For convenience, such events are conditionally divided into 3 categories.

Victoria Grebennik:

– The division into categories is due to the use of three approaches to the formation of connection fees:

1. The first category includes private households whose gas equipment is designed for gas consumption of no more than 5 cubic meters per hour, and small businesses whose fuel consumption for technological equipment of connected facilities does not exceed 15 cubic meters per hour. This category includes private houses up to 300 square meters. m. and small objects of the public utility sector.

There are also restrictions on the activities that are necessary for gasification: the distance from the gas supply source to the gas-using equipment is not more than 200 m, the pressure of natural gas in the gas supply source is not more than 0.3 MPa. And it is planned to build only gas pipelines-inputs without the installation of gas reduction points. All these factors will determine how much gasification costs.

Gas connection in the Moscow region

The fixed price for gas connection for the first category of objects is set by the regulatory body in the Moscow region in the amount of 50 thousand rubles for private houses, whose gas consumption does not exceed 5 cubic meters. meters per hour. The gas connection in the area takes into account the fuel consumption of all equipment, including the one to which this gas connection point was connected earlier. Provided that the distance from the gas-using equipment (boiler, stove) to the nearest gas distribution network (with a design working pressure of not more than 0.3 MPa), measured in a straight line to the connection point, is not more than 200 meters. Technical connection measures involve such a service as the construction of only pipes of gas pipelines-inlets without the installation of reduction points.

Gas connection - requirements

1. The second category includes capital construction facilities, the connection of which requires the construction of distribution gas pipelines and / or the installation of reduction points; the volume of the declared capacity exceeds the normalized volume of the first category, the pressure in the gas supply source is 0.6 MPa, etc.

Such objects include large private houses, etc. Gas supply to the house is carried out at standardized tariff rates. The gas connection tariff is calculated in accordance with the methodology approved by the Federal Tariff Service and approved by the executive authority in the field of state regulation of the REK (Regional Energy Commission) in the subject in which this organization operates.

1. The third category includes capital construction facilities, the connection of which is carried out according to an individual project. The final determination of the cost, which is made on the basis of the design and estimate documentation that has passed the examination, and the final price is set for each object individually by the executive authority in the field of state regulation in the subject in which the organization operates.

The signs of this category include any objects with a MCHRG of more than 500 cubic meters per hour, as well as objects that require passage through the lands of the forest fund, swamps of the 3rd degree, in rocky soils, through water barriers and any obstacles that require the performance of work by the HDD method (horizontal directional drilling).

Thus, the procedure for connecting gas within the framework of the rules has several levels of state control to determine the cost of technological connection to gas networks.

Starting from 2015, new gas connection rules are in force, according to which the specified fee is indexed to the forecast average annual inflation rate. Applicants, whose MCDH of a capital construction object exceeds 300 cubic meters per hour, must agree on the possibility of technological connection with the GDO, technologically connected to the contractor's network.

How to calculate maximum hourly consumption

This question worries many developers. Despite the fact that 5 cubic meters per hour is enough to supply most private houses, a preliminary calculation of the maximum hourly gas consumption can be carried out using the following formula.

FORUMHOUSE user Stessi:

- The maximum flow rate is determined by the formula:
B \u003d qx103 / Nx1.163x8000
where

B - gas consumption by equipment, m 3 / h;

q is the heat output of the equipment, kW;

N is the efficiency of the equipment; usually is - 90-92%;

8000 - net calorific value of natural gas, kcal/m 3 .

It is necessary to add to the resulting figure all other appliances that consume blue fuel in the house.

On average, the power of a four-burner stove with a gas oven is taken as 10 kW. The calculation is carried out in the same way as the calculation of the boiler, only without taking into account the efficiency. From here: 10 / 1.163 / 8 = 1.1 cubic meters / h.

FORUMHOUSE user Brother Fox:

- For a 100 sq. m, the required boiler power will be 10 kW. Such a boiler consumes an average of 1.2 cubic meters / gas / h.

Connection steps

Blue fuel connection is carried out if the technical capabilities of the gas distribution network (GDS) allow connecting a new consumer without prejudice to existing subscribers. In this case, the general algorithm of actions for gasification includes the following steps:

1. Obtaining preliminary specifications.

In cases where the maximum hourly fuel consumption does not exceed 300 cubic meters per hour, applicants can apply to the GDO to conclude a connection agreement without obtaining preliminary technical conditions.

1. Submission of an application for connection and conclusion of an agreement with the GRO on technological connection.

Required documents:

• An application containing the details of the applicant (passport data), contact details, name and address of the location of the facility to be joined, the nature of gas consumption, the timing of the design and construction of the facility, the MCWG, the number and date of preliminary technical specifications, if such were issued;
• Documents confirming the ownership of the land;
• Calculation of the maximum hourly gas consumption (not required if the MCHRG is less than 5 m3/h);
• Situational plan with reference to the territory of the settlement.

In the case of providing all the necessary information and documents, the GRO within 30 days prepares and transfers to the applicant a technological connection agreement signed on its part. After signing the contract by the applicant and submitting it to the GRO, according to the terms of the connection contract, measures for technological connection are carried out within the established time limits.

Moreover, the activities to the border of the land plot are carried out by the GDO, and the design, construction within the site, as well as the installation of the VDGO (in-house gas equipment) are carried out by the applicant.

1. Implementation of activities within the applicant's site carried out through the conclusion of a contract. Design and construction and installation work on gasification within the applicant can be carried out not only by Gorgas, oblgaz, but also by other construction companies that have an SRO permit (permit to carry out relevant work) to perform design and construction and installation work on the basis of an agreement concluded with the applicant.
2. After completing the activities within the site, the applicant sends an application to the customer service of the GDO to verify compliance with the technical conditions.

   In order for the possibility of connecting the gas to be realized, and the service to be provided to you properly, it is necessary to draw up: an act of acceptance of the completed construction and an act of delimitation of property and operational responsibility.

3. Conclude an agreement with the GDO for the supply of fuel, maintenance of the gas pipeline and gas equipment.
4. Agree with the GDO on the date of the initial start-up.
5. Issue an Act on technological connection.
