i couldnt get link to open, in the paper i read it said he used the wrong pipe, not being a plumber how can that cause an explosion, unless he used hosepipe.
would it not be a wrong / loose joint that caused the leak

ah, you mean what i would call that blue plastic stuff, it is water tight but not gas tight?
clf_gas and breezer, as far as I could see in the linked articles, no mention was made about the material used for the old water pipe. If it does please let me know where it is, otherwise you are unjustified in making this assumption.

There is nothing about the reused pipe material and it could easily have been made of copper.
If a copper pipe is in good condition and clean then why is it not suitable for gas?
Can anyone pinpoint a regulation prohibiting its use?

Correct it does not mention the material, its the line "£800 for re-using a section of water pipe to carry gas, if it was copper then there would'nt be an £800 fine
correct assumption Agree Tony, aint no reg on re-use of clean copper, so fine suggests it was something else.
As above oilman reading between the lines.
"He said that it was thought the explosion was caused as a result of a gas pipe which had been cut by Peters being left unsealed.
Following investigations by the defence it was shown there may have been other reasons for the accumulation of gas which had leaked out, causing the explosion.
As a result he said it was not appropriate to continue with the more serious charge against Martin, however it was right to continue with two other allegations."
All seems a bit odd.
Surely an uncapped gas pipe would be the main cause of a gas leak. Would like to know what the "other reasons" were/are

If you are implying I was reading between the lines, I was not. No mention was mentioned in the quoted articles about the material used for the used water pipe. Any statement about what material was used for it could only be made by reading between the lines. Er......, by clf-gas?
