uninstalling gas fire

[edb1984]

Hello All

Quick Question.

I have torn out my old gas fireplace and screwed in the little grub screw in the wall fitting.

do i need to cap off the part where the pipe went into the fitting? or in-fact do i need to do anything else apart from just tightening the grub screw?

I do not intend to re-connect to this fitting and its going to stay redundant until gas fires come back into fashion.

Thanks for the advice in advance!

Yes - you need to get a GasSafe registered engineer to cap off/remove the redundant pipework and test to ensure that it's gas tight
