cdmtdm Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 i have just received a quote to connect a new gas hotplate in a new kitchen , pipe run 2.5m inside cupboard to a gas bottle recess which is ventilated to the outside , pipe run in copper granted but the quote came in at 11,000 baht !!! included regulator but they seem to be cheap as chips , what is the story with the actual bottle do they have to be purchased or is it exchange not sure how it works here ??? anyone have another company that would be worth contacting ??? seems very expensive to me , opinions greatly appreciated . cheers CdM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobc Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Go to nearest gas bottle sales buy a red bottle regulator plastic gas pipe and 2 clamps for bottle and regulator Make sure the shop will deliver an exchange to your place. Don't know how handy you are but I like to do this my self just to be sure. The whole lot should come to 3000 including installation. The bottle shop should have someone for install.

cdmtdm Posted May 12, 2010 Author Share Posted May 12, 2010 Plastic gas pipe not great in a fire tho... yes agreed , the hotplate is actually above an electric oven so need to get copper in this section for the heat factor , sussed the bottles out with local supplier , buy first one and then exchange after that , have another contractor coming today to advise on cost ....... cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillR Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 (edited) when I bought the bottle itself they installed everything for free, although I bought the large 1.5 meter tall one. I believe it was 8-10,000 baht for the big cylinder, then 1000 baht to exchange thereafter, and they deliver. Edited May 13, 2010 by BillR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ping Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 gas in the house is not a good thing to do put the bottle outside Why? Most people keep the bottle in a cupboard underneath. No problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katabeachbum Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 (edited) Presume house fires.. I had mine routed to go out the back, mostly as it was neater and I have a covered space for washing machines / laundry / etc there.. only 2,5 meters I would use the orange armed rubber gas hose installed in 1,5" pvc drain pipes. good for 250 Celsius which is more than you will ever reach 50% of behind oven. The hose has a manufactor date, and must be replaced in 10 years. Hose is no leak. sloppy copper is leak. 2k baht including a good regulator, 500 baht for installation. There is a good quality shop on Chao fa east between Land & House Park and Navinda, close to Chalong glass and aluminum. I dislike gas bottles in cupbords, so if possible have it installed outside wall. If not at least vented in bottom of cupboard to outside. My gasbottles are in my garage, 5 meter hose in 1,5" pvc drainpipe to kitchen above bottles are purchased first time, then swapped for a few hundred baht pending on 5 kg, 15 kg or larger. I believe I payed 1000 baht each for the 15 kgs, and 300 baht to swap. I have 2 to make sure I never run out of gas while cooking Edited May 18, 2010 by katabeachbum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What??!! It's only no problem if nothing ever happens. In this country, expect something to happen! Keep it as far away from the cooking area / living area as you can manage.
