Moving gas meter without altering Transco pipe

[namsag]

Gasmen love to do rear entries its a perk of the job .
Only time you cannot do a rear entry is if you have a medium pressure supply which you wont have.
Sleeve must be sealed in the box for rear exit

Surely this belongs in the combustion chamber pot, not in a public forum??

jeezo thats twice in a week ive agreed with you, im seriously considering taking you off the blocked list, but im waiting on answers from the "training centre scandal" posts first haha

Ach, you find that kirk, I grow on people - like a fungus.
What question mate? Cause if it's in the combustion chamber pot? Then I'm banned..............

Sorry kirk, the years of Buckie drinking has taken it's toll. Ping up the thread mate & I'll answer 'the question'. Please title it; 'Question for D.ck Puller' & I'll not miss it............

I got a second quote today from a ex BG engineer who suggested a different approach.
He said that instead of feeding the service pipe through the back of the meter box, that it is brought through the cavity in a liner 100mm below the box, and is elbowed up through the standard entry hole, and to the ECV.

This sounds a neater solution, and would look a lot better than using a wodge of sealant at the back of the box.

I found this photo on the internet earlier of what 'plan A' could have looked like!!!
