Isolating at the Gas Restrictor elbow

[kevplumb]

not on a permanent basis and it needs plugging as well

are you competent ??

if not have it removed and capped

 

[shambolic]

But Kev, what is competence?
And who are we to question it just because we have a bit of paper?
etc etc etc and on and on
I liked that 19 page thread!

Anyway - Back to the question. Will a closed restrictor valve suffice for sealing off the gas to the fire?

No it has to be capped or plugged and tested for soundness.

thats why you need a gas safe registered person to do it as it needs to be soundness checked
