light gase (Methane etc)
- Install detectors from 1 to 4 m from gas appliances
The installation of the detector does not exempt from ... ... The compliance with all regulations
concerning the characteristics, installation and use of gas appliances. The ventilation of the spaces and the
elimination of combustion products are described in the UNI norms according to ART. 3 LAW 1083 / 71
and relevant legal provisions.
