Hi
They are upgrading the pipe in the street and all connections to it. I was out when they did ours but apparently they were there all day trying to replace our steel connection (from the meter to the main pipe in the road) with a plastic one. When they'd done, the guy that got the pipe through thought the pressure was on the low side.
Then they're gassafe guy came for the final check that our house was connected ok etc. He said that he measured "19" - I assume that is 19mb. I don't know where he measured - I assume on the niple of the meter but I'm just guessing.
I just looked at the spec for our Ideal 3100RD1 and it says a minimum of 20mb required.
He also asked my wife if we have a gas cooker and "are you sure you don't". We don't currently. So the main question is, have we been left with enough pressure to run a gas cooker when we get around to upgrading the kitchen? If not, the guys are still working in the street at the moment, should I (do I have any right to) ask them to increase the pressure?
Thanks for reading and any thoughts on this as ever.
