Penalty for unauthorized installation of a geyser

Our country is rich in gas reserves, so it is not surprising that this type of fuel is used everywhere. Gas heating and heating equipment has become especially widespread. When connecting, the question arises: is it possible to carry out the work yourself? Is there a penalty for unauthorized installation of a gas column? Let’s take a closer look at the delicate moments of connection.

Who should install the gas column

Is the use of gas and equipment regulated by law? Not just regulated, but clearly spelled out in separate paragraphs. Blue fuel is potentially dangerous if used incorrectly. Therefore, self-activity when working with gas is strictly prohibited. Only a licensed professional can install a gas water heater.

The main requirements are specified in the Decree of the Russian Federation of July 21.07.2008, 549 N 09.09.2017 (as amended on September XNUMX, XNUMX):

  • Any gas equipment should be regularly serviced by specialists. The consumer cannot arbitrarily refuse the service.

Recall that faulty gas appliances are dangerous for you and your neighbors.

  • Installation, dismantling or transfer of equipment is carried out only by employees of a special service.
  • Non-compliance with the norms of legal acts is punishable by sanctions and fines.

Sometimes the line between legal and illegal is very thin. On the one hand, independent hanging of the column body and connection to the water supply is allowed. And what then goes beyond the boundaries of the legal order:

  • Connection to the gas main without obtaining a permit.
  • Execution of installation works by firms without a license, private individuals.
  • Making a connection without warning the supplier.

Failure to comply with the connection rules is punishable by law.

Consequences for the perpetrator

За несанкционированное применение топлива и установку оборудования предусмотрены:

  • Sanctions from the fuel supplier in accordance with the Decree of the Russian Federation of July 21.07.2008, 549 No. XNUMX.
  • Fines under article 7.19 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.
  • Criminal liability under Articles 158 and 109 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.

What sanctions are provided by the legislation of the Russian Federation:

  • The supplier can cut off the intruder from the line. In case of unauthorized installation of equipment, the amount of the fine will be 45 rubles.
  • Administrative responsibility: for citizens – 2, for officials – 000 and for organizations – 4 rubles.
  • Imprisonment for up to 2 years.
  • If there was an accident and people died, then up to 5 years in prison.

It remains to figure out how to do the right thing and what standards to comply with.
