Frequently Asked Questions
- How can I check that the "Exhaust Extension Gamat 473" fits my device exactly? The most reliable way is to compare the exact type/catalogue designation on your device's (boiler, tank, water heater) rating plate with the compatibility stated directly in this product's name (brand KARMA) and in its technical parameters above. If in doubt, send us the exact type designation of your device (including any serial number) - we will be happy to verify compatibility for you.
- Why is it important to use an original/compatible part rather than a universal replacement? Parts such as gaskets, sensors or safety components (safety valves, thermal fuses) are usually dimensioned exactly for the parameters of the specific device (pressure, temperature, sensor electrical resistance) - the wrong part can cause reduced function, leaks, or, in the case of safety components, a real safety risk.
- Does this part need to be installed by a professional? For simpler, mechanical parts (e.g. gaskets, covers, small accessories with no connection to electricity, gas or the pressurised part) a handy DIYer can usually manage the replacement after disconnecting the device from power and utilities. However, for any intervention in the gas, electrical or pressurised part of the device (e.g. sensors located directly in the combustion chamber, safety valves, electrical modules) we always recommend a service technician - especially since such an intervention could affect the validity of the warranty on the whole device.
- How do I know this part is worn and needs replacing? Common signs include visible wear/cracking (for gaskets and rubber parts), water or flue gas leaking at the part, an error message on the control display (for sensors and electronic modules), or an obviously reduced function of the device (e.g. irregular burning in burner parts). If in doubt, the safest option is to have a service technician assess the condition during the regular annual inspection.
- Is it worth keeping this part at home as a spare/service part? For parts that are subject to normal wear (gaskets, fuses, small mechanical parts) and whose failure would mean a shutdown of heating or water heating, keeping a spare is a sensible precaution - especially for an older device for which it may be harder to source the part quickly.

About the company
Karma is the largest manufacturer of convection gas stoves in the Czech Republic. The company continues its tradition, which was founded as early as 1910. In June 2006, Karma acquired the German brand of heating stoves Gamat – a brand known as "vafky"
History and present
Karma is synonymous with gas appliances. The name Karel Macháček, one of the most successful and most famous manufacturers, is closely linked to the beginnings of gas industry on the territory of the Czech Republic. Karel Macháček was the first to start mass production of high-quality gas appliances almost 100 years ago. He gave them a brand composed of the initial syllables of his first name and surname.
At the beginning of the 20th century, there was no Czech manufacturer of gas appliances for households. These appliances were supplied to Bohemia by foreign companies – mainly Siemens and Junkers. While in Budapest and Vienna the use of gas appliances for cooking, hot water preparation and ironing was quite widespread and gas industry was on the rise, in Prague there was a decline in this area. It was mainly caused by the arrival of electricity, which started to push gas out of street and apartment lighting. The use of gas was at a historical turning point and the idea of reconstructing gasworks was considered only later.
However, in Prague at that time, an unprecedented construction activity was taking place. Entire streets and blocks of new houses in suburban areas on both sides of the Vltava River were growing like mushrooms after rain, and a modern large Prague was emerging. In the new apartments at that time, gas pipelines were installed not for lighting, but for cooking and baking, for heating water and gradually even for heating. These circumstances were correctly identified and understood by a young enterprising man who knew that a half-million Prague could not exist for long without a factory and repair workshop for gas appliances. Therefore, he established a factory in Vysočany in 1910, where he started producing this range. That young man was none other than Karel Macháček.
Český Brod welcomes you
In an effort to free himself from dependence on foreign subcontracting foundry castings, Karel Macháček built his own modern foundry according to the example of American car manufacturers. When gas production was launched in the new gasworks in Michle with a large production capacity in 1927, a new modern Macháček factory was already standing in Český Brod. Macháček had this factory built to meet the constantly increasing demand from gas consumers for new stovetops, irons and stoves with a tool workshop, pressing machines, sand blasting equipment and a drum, as well as his own enameling workshop with two muffle furnaces. The factory in Libná continued to serve exclusively for the production and repairs of water heating appliances with output from 2 to 30 l/min. Here the factory had its own test laboratory, chromium plating, nickel plating and painting workshop with modern spraying equipment.
