Remove a shunt or tee from an embedded hot melt gas pipe

Hello people, I would like to know how to get a tee in a hot melt gas pipe embedded in the wall. Attached image with plane My doubts are the following: 1) On the left side "kitchen connection to be removed", just put the pipe short and put a plug to cancel it? 2) On the right side I drew in green what would be the options to add the pipe for the new connection to the kitchen from the tee. Where should I put the tee? What section of the pipe should I cut to be able to add the tee? (taking into account that everything is already embedded in the wall and is complicated by the thermofusion machine) Greetings, and thank you very much! (Added part 2) Hi, I add definitions that I didn't do before - The wall on the left (where the current kitchen connection is) will be removed - The main spout is 1 ". The T is reduced to 3/4". This reduction goes to the kitchen. And in the pipe after the T that goes to the thermos there is a reduction to 3/4 " - The thermos is up and to the right of the stopcock, so it would not be above the kitchen. (Taking advantage of this point, what is the minimum SIDE distance that must be between the thermos and the kitchen?) Should I put an elbow on the floor in the pipe that goes to the current kitchen connection (left) or drift from the pipe that goes to the thermos (right)? In the second way I don't have to break the floor so much Regards!

Hello: the original connection of the kitchen derives with a tea from the same pipe that goes to the thermos only that it is further back, it does not affect anything that you place the new tea as the marks in the drawing are easier for you so you do not have to join 2 fixed points using threaded connection by calculation is left over because the water heater spout is calculated to heat 22,000 cal, so I am 99% sure that you have plenty of diameter, any doubt, comment greetings

Hello What you intend to do is prohibited, that pipe is calculated for the thermos. The correct thing is to make an extension from the place where the kitchen was to the new place, respecting the size of the existing pipe. You can extend from the existing key to the new place including the key. [Img] https://adjuntos.yoreparo.com/imagen_post/0004/68/a32c558a567c28cfbbcb120e00b25bb3098557c5.png [/img] Nor can the kitchen be placed under the hot water tank (I warn you if you have any doubts) at least 50cm and the new scheme you made can walk, I only did it thinking of not breaking the floor where it will be difficult to match, where you remove the wall unfailingly you will have to make a view (I think) I add The distance of 50cm is not capricious, it is the distance required for any other circuit (electric or water lease).

hello: Ricardo the bypass can go in the pipe that feeds the thermos without problem by calculation, the diameter is also left over when not declaring it is illegal greetings

Hi Mariotti, we do not know if it is left over, oven on and the thermos goes out .... and then? And between two illegal things, the extension of the kitchen will be more passable than cutting a pipe to put a "T".

I searched and found in https://www.enargas.gov.ar/secciones/normativa/pdf/normas-discusion/NAG-226_DP.pdf
7.2 Secondary defects
a) Heating located on wash basins or kitchens
But it says nothing about minimum lateral distance
That depends on where the kitchen and adjacent furniture will be located

Hello Also in the network is the complete regulation and within this particular regulation it is established that all work has to be done by a registered gasman, he and only he will be responsible for the work, modifications, presentations, etc., etc. We are clear that It is not the case; but you ask a question and someone answers the best that dictates their conscience and experience. The hot water tank cannot go over the kitchen, nor can the kitchen be attached to furniture of combustible materials, the regulations also say that it has to be fixed and so we can follow all the regulations

Specifically, you can not make modifications without declaring, you can not leave a clogged pipe, then ?? who is going to take charge of the habilitation. Anyway, there is a lot of cloth to cut. Regards

Ok, but by regulation, what is the minimum lateral distance between kitchen and hot water tank? Is it in any regulation published on the internet?
I am interested to know what the regulation says about this particular point.

The distance is not specifically, that is explained to you when you take the subject. 50cm would be correct. Regards

hello: keep in mind that what you are going to do is illegal, you are modifying the pipe without declaring the risk on the day that any damage occurs and an inspection falls to you, they go to the original plane by not agreeing the pipe route automatically they withdraw you the meter, consult a registered gasist, if you decide to make the reform anyway, it is easier for you to put the bypass tea under the tap of the hot water tank to cancel the short pipe and merge a lid any doubt comments greetings
