i\\\'m getting water in the gas pipe leading to the gas meter, this is also filling with water, it\\\'s a ravenheat combi boiler,rsf820/20 can anyone help
owen.
Water in gas pipes is common apparently. Water and gas mains are often close to each other in the road. If a water pipe leaks, you get a water-powered grit blaster, making a big impression on anything it hits. Doesn't take long to get through a gas main. Of course the gas pressure is very low, so the pipes get a lot of water in. Can take weeks to get it out.
Water in internal supplies/meter can come from water in main but have numerous calls in past (as i work for Transco) to combi boilers and water heaters letting water into the gas supply from faulty valves on the appliances.Usually a diaphramed valve which works by water pressure operating the gas valve to the burner fails and i have known them let water into the gas supply and fill a gas meter up.
