Plumbing and Central Heating​

Questions, comments and enquiries related to plumbing, central heating and hot water systems.

I have posted several topics about plumbing up cold water and had no issue
But I made 2 threads about plumbing up gas works and they where removed!

Gas supplies should only be worked on by qualified people. Giving unqualified diyers 'advice' on messing with gas could be very dangerous. There is a section in this forum for registered gas installers to discuss this but you must be able to prove that you are a RGI to even enter it.

I remember talking to a guy at work about an electrical problem, I thought I had explained well, then latter went to his house, and I realised he had got it wrong. I can see why we should not talk about some things.

Forum rules on gas are clearly displayed, https://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/diy-gas.8090/
pinned to the top of the Plumbing and Heating section and have been for the best part of 20 years.

You either comply with them, or leave.
