Again. I did not remove any gas pipes. This was done by a professional. I am well aware of the definition of analogy. At no point did I compare removing a gas fire to changing a light bulb. I gave it as an example of something I would not hire someone to do. There is a difference. Just like...

I have not removed any pipework. It was removed by a gas engineer. I didn't actually use an analogy, I used an example. The whole point of my question was to determine whether removing a disconnected fire is "messing with gas" or just removing an inert object. And it was JUST a question. I have...

Yep, definitely not connected - 1ft gap between capped ends of the "live" gas pipe and pipe for the fire. No other gas pipes along that direction either. Thanks!

Thank you! That is exactly why she (;)) asked the question. If I knew I wouldn't need to ask! Would it not be a better use of your time, durham, to offer some constructive advice rather than just having a go in, what seems to be, an attempt to feel superior! We're not all qualified plumbers you...

Thank you, that make things a lot clearer!

Woah, that's a bit uncalled for! There's a reason I'm asking the question, to determine what type of job it is, not about saving money. I wouldn't call somebody in to put up a shelf or change a light bulb! I'm wondering whether there is a safety issue since there is no supply reaching the fire.
