Conditions for installation and connection and installation of gas boilers Siberia 11 The device is installed in the kitchen or other non-residential premises at a distance of at least 15 cm from the walls. The premises must meet the requirements of the current “Safety Rules for Gas Distribution and Gas Consumption Systems”. The temperature of the room in which the boiler is installed should not be lower than +5°C. A gas valve is installed on the gas supply pipe in front of the unit, blocking gas access to the apparatus. The gas pressure in front of the boiler must correspond to the gas pressure indicated on the plate. The unit can be connected to the heating system on the left and right, since the fittings are located on the rear wall. An approximate open diagram of the heating system is shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6, an approximate closed diagram of the heating system is shown in Figure 7. To improve the operation of the Siberia 11 gas boiler in a closed system, it is necessary to install a circulation pump in the heating system. In a closed heating system, it is necessary to install a safety valve for a pressure of no more than 150 kPa (1.5 kgf/cm2). The pipeline couplings must be precisely adjusted to the location of the inlet fittings. The voltage transmitted to the assembly units of the device can break the tightness of the heat exchanger and supply pipelines. The chimney structure to which the device is connected must comply with SP42-101-2003 “General provisions for the design and construction of gas distribution systems.” When connecting the device to a chimney, fire safety requirements must be met. An approximate diagram of connecting the device to the chimney is shown in Figure 4.

After installing the boiler to the heating system and gas pipeline, the latter must be checked for leaks and tightness. Pipeline connections are checked by soaping. Any gas or water leaks detected during testing should be eliminated before turning on the device. After checking the device and system for leaks, it is necessary to check the operation of automatic and locking devices. The pilot burner flame must intensively wash the thermocouple and ensure ignition of the main burner. When operating floor-standing gas boilers Sibiriya 11, at the initial stage of commissioning, drops of water may appear from under the bottom of the heat exchanger - this is the result of condensation of water vapor due to the temperature difference. When the entire heating system warms up, condensation will stop.

The best and most famous models: characteristics and prices
Classic floor-standing boilers Siberia
Classic, inexpensive and most popular boilers with a steel heat exchanger. They are distinguished by their compact size, heat exchanger steel thickness of 4 mm, reliability and reasonable price. Efficiency is 90%, gas consumption of the 11.6 kW model is only 1.18 m3/hour. Available in 11, 17, 23, 29 and 35 kW versions. There are also double-circuit models; they come with the prefix “K” (for example, Siberia 11K) and cost only 5-15% more than single-circuit ones.
Otherwise, after more than 12 years of operating experience, there are practically no serious service complaints; the model is considered the most successful and most reliable of domestic gas boilers. It has almost all the previously described disadvantages - sensitivity to clogging, noisy ignition. Please note that the maximum permissible operating pressure is only 1 bar, so it is not recommended to use the model in closed systems, where the operating pressure is usually 1.5-2 bar.
KCHGO series
One of the best Siberia gas boilers for heating a private home. This is a larger and heavier model with a durable cast iron heat exchanger. Cast iron is practically not subject to corrosion, so such heat exchangers last 30 years or more, although they are much more expensive. Unlike the previous model, the permissible operating pressure is now 3 bar, which allows the boiler to be used in any domestic closed heating systems with forced circulation of coolant. Available in 16, 25, 40, 50 kW versions.
The burner and automation of the boiler are still the same - the famous Italian EuroSit and Polidoro, so the gas consumption remained at the same level - 1.7 m3/hour for the 16 kW model. Otherwise, everything is the same as with classic steel floorplates. A significant drawback is the lack of dual-circuit versions. Prices for cast iron models, although quite high, are much lower than foreign analogues and are among the lowest among domestic ones
Top Line Series
A mounted model, the body of which already contains all the necessary modules of the heating system (expansion tank, circulation pump, safety group, etc.). It is distinguished by the presence of a smoothly modulated burner, which is reflected in the maximum gas consumption - 2.65 m3/hour with a power of 24 kW. The copper heat exchanger is more resistant to corrosion than steel and more thermally conductive. But in dual-circuit models it is bithermic (double), which means almost zero results when washing it and vulnerability to scale accumulation. Therefore, it is imperative to use soft purified water as a coolant and change it as rarely as possible.
Among other things, there is protection against overheating and freezing, and the ability to connect an external thermostat. The model is quite new and has only been in use for a few years; during this time there have been no serious service complaints. A significant drawback is the difficulty of acquiring it, since it is still rarely found in the assortment of online stores. First of all, this is due to the lack of versions of other power: only Top Line 24 kW (single-circuit) and Top Line 24C (double-circuit) are available.
Cost: 21,500-26,000 rubles.
Criterias of choice
• Power – the higher it is, the larger the heated area. It is stated in the labeling.
• Dimensions of the room. The calculation of the required heating capacity is carried out taking into account the dependence: for 10 sq. m. – 1000 W. It is not recommended to operate the device at maximum - this increases the wear of its elements. The value needs to be increased by adding 30%.
• Climate.
• Insulation of the building.
• DHW (hot water supply).
• Boiler type. In an apartment it is more convenient to use a wall-mounted version, in a private house - a floor-mounted one.
Installation
The kit comes with a passport and instructions. The latter is necessary to familiarize yourself with the device, operating principle and rules for using the boiler. After reading the instructions, the user will be able to find out how to turn on the device. It is advisable to entrust the installation to specialists. Installation features:
• Registration of permission for installation - from gas workers.
• Installation is carried out by specialists with a license for the relevant work.
• The kit does not include an expansion tank and a circulation pump - you will have to buy them additionally.
• The device is placed against the wall, so you must leave a gap - at least three centimeters.
• For surface mounting, the device requires a foundation. Usually it is made of brick. Wall-mounted models are firmly fixed.
• There must be no gas leakage during connection. Connections must be carefully insulated.
• If you start the device for the first time, condensation will accumulate on the heat exchanger, which will disappear when the system warms up.
How to use the equipment?
Without violating the operating rules, you can significantly extend the service life of gas appliances:
• Do not turn on the boiler with a broken burner or a clogged chimney.
• The chassis must be grounded.
• When using antifreeze as a coolant instead of water, you need to purchase only a certified product. Containing ethylene glycol is prohibited.
• Water should not heat above 95 degrees.
• When installing the device near a wall that is covered with a fire-hazardous material, it is necessary to make a gasket made of steel or asbestos.
• The device may only be turned on after the system has been filled with water/antifreeze.
• Clean your chimney and filters annually. Make sure all connections are tight.
Owner reviews of Siberia gas boilers: advantages and disadvantages
| Advantages | Flaws |
| Reliable, practice-tested design and clear operating principle | Owners often note noisy ignition and pilot burner operation. |
| The cost of both steel (from 19 thousand rubles) and cast iron (from 33 thousand rubles) models is lower than foreign analogues and lower than many domestic market leaders such as Lemax | Requirement for cleanliness in the boiler room and regular maintenance (cleaning the heat exchanger, burner, igniter, solenoid valve and thermocouple) |
| High technical characteristics and efficiency | Sometimes mediocre build quality, typical of domestic technology |
| Availability of both single-circuit and double-circuit models | According to reviews from owners of dual-circuit models, the performance of hot water supply is often insufficient during long-term use, which is why it is necessary to reduce the volume of consumption by only slightly opening the hot water tap |
| Availability of models with durable cast iron heat exchanger | Due to the simple design and principle of removing combustion products, an incorrectly designed chimney causes backdraft, extinguishing both the burner and the wick |
| Energy independence - all floor-standing models do not require connection to the electrical network | |
| Compact size, nice design | |
| Adaptability to unstable gas pressure, hard, not the purest water used as a coolant | |
| The presence of a layer of thermal insulation |

Lemax or Siberia - which is better?
When choosing a domestic inexpensive boiler, the consumer has to compare it not only with European analogues, which are superior in price, but also with products manufactured in Russia. Siberia and Lemax are products of domestic enterprises. Lemax is a trademark of the Taganrog plant. This is a young production that has been supplying its products to all regions of the Russian Federation since 2002. Both brands have an efficiency of 90%. Siberia outperforms Taganrog competitors in the ranking of demand - consumers are attracted to the products of Rostovgazoapparat CJSC by efficiency, heat transfer, appearance and ease of operation. Both plants produce energy-independent models with steel and cast iron heat exchangers. Reviews about Lemax products are neutral - not “premium”, but quite reliable and unpretentious for their cost - a steel device with a power of 10,000 W costs 13,000 rubles, a cast iron device 19,000 W costs 30,000 rubles.
Siberia or Lemax: which is better
Floor-standing gas boilers have a similar, slightly more complex design, but similar automation and burners. The efficiency of almost the entire Lemax model range is also 90%, but gas consumption is on average 10% higher. For example, Lemax Premium-16 kW has a maximum gas consumption of 1.9 m3/hour. Lemax boilers are quieter, and even steel models are designed to operate in a circuit with a pressure of up to 3 bar. However, their cost is 10-20% more expensive.
Siberia is more reliable, more economical, simpler and cheaper. But it is deprived of the above-described advantages inherent in the Lemax model range. In general, both manufacturers are worthy of attention and it is not for nothing that they are sales leaders among domestic manufacturers of gas boilers.
