compression fittings on gas pipe under floor

[PEDANTICVINDICTIVEMAN]

If it was a concrete floor how would the fitter know without x ray vision ?,



I take it that you have never heard of a suspended concrete floor.

I've never heard of a concrete floor with a removable slab to look underneath, have you, we know a song about this, don't we children, can you sing it.........

not only have i heard of them i have been under them many times.

usually a complete bastard to get under as the access points are nearly always very small for some reason.

Jeezus bleeding christ my life already.
The specific case of a compression fitting used in an inaccessible position has been part of the ACS assessment for as long as I can remember.

Yes I'm an ACS assessor!

From the Gas Industry Unsafe Situations Procedure document which all gas installers should have read and have a copy of and know where to find if they've lost it :

Pipework includes fittings.
The source documents are BS6891, Igeup/2 and GSIUR.

You may thingk it's daft, I may agree, but that doesn't matter.

Cant be arsed to read through all the posts, but I dont think the fittings mentioned were either inaccessible or under suspended concrete floor, maybe the OP would like to clarify before we all die of boredom..................zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Hi Mark,
Do you see a little green thankyou button at the top right hand side of this post. Now if you think that some one has given you sound advice
just press this button and it will show others that he is worth his salt. I notice that you do not have any thanks credits yet and looking at your posts, although you have received some very good advice, it seems that you have not had the decency to leave a thanks either.

Regards

I have read this post but not seen anyone state the obvious on any installation ONE OR MORE... Not to current standards constitutes an AT RISK CLASSIFICATION! So as stated there are 2 compression fittings so is at least AT RISK. And to be fair to the plumber quoting £50 it's not just replacing two fittings its a gas tightness test as well after the work is done!

Dont talk absolute nonsense it is not at risk go back and read your books and find out when it is to NCS can possibly be classed as at risk.

As G112 says - nonsense! The escalating NCS to AR advice is flueing issues. I have just read through this, not realising you have reincarnated a 3 year old post.

Plus, that's only an advisory to be aware if, not a requirement.
