Just to make clear, before any Mod gets agitated, this is NOT about DIY gas work, and I am not one of those people who says "I am going to use a tradesman, but I just want to understand what's involved so I don't get taken for a ride" when what they mean is "I am going to do this myself but I know I'd better not say that".
Anyway - Q.
I'm not talking about wholesale relocation, just a bit of "adjustment" - does the flexible pipe before the meter allow a bit of movement?
The old iron pipe immediately to the right of the meter is uncapped, and must be the old one which used to serve the fireplaces, the cooker point etc, so if I were to cut it off level with the floor, the meter would be able to move back and to the right, go up against the wall, and not be quite such a PITA in the under-stairs cupboard.
Clearly the rigid pipework on my side would need to be re-made, but that's no biggie as we're going to be getting someone in to move our gas boiler.
Would an RGI be prepared to rotate it anti-clockwise slightly, so that it moves back on the RHS by about 10cm, and a bit to the right to clear the service fuse??

OOI - is the angled plate meant to be used to fix the meter to or against a wall? As it is, the it's just sitting on the floor, not restrained in any way.
