Try answering the OP's question rather than turning this forum into some jolly old boys club ... It's for DIY'ers AFAIA.

You mean this site is now some jolly old boys club or its not for DIY'ers ... Which is it?

The piece of kit that the op has, he clearly doesnt know how to use.
So advise him how to use it safely

Leads one to think how did it fall into his hands?
Errrmmm this once's quite simple WDIK ... He went out and bought it ... LEGALLY!

Coming on here and asking questions regarding how to use it makes us all feel uncomfortable.
Firstly ... What do you mean "us all"?
and secondly ... Fine, be uncomfortable and go and advise someone how to unblock their drains.

Don't, however, dictate to others on this forum who have been contributing far longer than you have ... What do you think gives you the right?

AFAIK this isn't yet some RGI advice centre ... Perhaps the Mods would care to comment and I will certainly be asking Admin to review the way this particular forum is being stage managed.

The situation of advising on gas related issues has been discussed many times before and my own take on it is that advice on how to proceed safely is better than no advice at all.

I don't feel at all uncomfortable BTW.

And I agree 100% megawatt.

Sometimes its better to help than to let them get on with it dangerously. However there are limits and this thread is one of them.

And marvellous mod 10 will now delete it and lock the thread.
 
the item concerned would be of little interest for a person to buy legitimally just out of curiosity.
clearly the posesser of this equipment does not know how to use it or post links to how to do a let bye test.

it would appear mr mw that you seem to have me and everything i say in your sights tonight?

you may achieve some sort of perverse pleasure from this? but have you been checked resently for aspergers syndrome?

your point about how long you have been using this site is purile, hollow vessels make the loudest noises

Reading the thread top down DIA, nobody has offered any sensible advice whatsoever?

If the advice is ... "You clearly don't know what you are doing and must be competant to undertake the work" then say so.

If competant members then wish to offer further advice so be it, if not the OP will go and gas themselves ;)

difficult as town gas which consisted primarily consisted of cabon monoxide was phased out during the 60's

try again

when you have an informative input other than trying to tell the op how to do a let bye test which had to be removed

feel free

Appearances are often deceptive ... Nothing to do with you I just don't agree with the content of some of the posts you've made today.

You may achieve some sort of perverse pleasure from this?
Oh I really wish that I did but ... Unfortunately not.

Have you been checked resently for aspergers syndrome?
That's twice you've posted this ... The last one was deleted, any bets on this one :LOL:

Possibly true but you still haven't answered my question.

Have you seen the Spell Check button BTW?

Oh dear Mr DIK you are getting upset ... Anyone without your bias would have seen that
if not the OP will go and gas themselves
was intended to be facetious and not actually serious :rolleyes:

The link to the CDA site has been posted many many times before on this site in response to someone who clearly needs advice which, whilst not perfect, is better than having no advice at all.

You really need to get over yourself.

you may poke as much fun as you like.
clearly it amuses you.
but when you post dangerous advise it will be removed.
 
I did a tightness test with my digital manometer and my pressure off the U6 meter after stabilization was 26.70mb and had risen to 27.40mb after 2min test.
What pressure does the regulator lock-up on NG?
Is my meter regulator letting by, or have overlooked something?
Everything was turned off during tests.

As you have not told us the conditions in which the "test "was carried out it difficult to give a definative answer, all I would say is that a Water guage is less likely to give a false reading than an electronic instrument.

The 0.7 differnial could be due to anything from slight movement of the connecting tube to the effect of the Sun on the tube.

PS, if unsure its better to ask than just plod on regardless.

PPS, you could Google "argi" and ask the same question.
 
And who decides when advice is dangerous then?

Careful TheBaker, you'll upset WDIK by offering to help this OP and he'll report you to the Mods.
 
Megawatt in answer to Your question who decides the advice is dangerous.

Is obvious, it is the people who are refusing to give answer to the OP.

The people who do choose to give an answer are the ones that in their opinion think it is not dangerous

Freedom of choice till a mod appears.
I wont answer because he has got 3 things wrong in something that takes less than 5 mins to do and is the most basic thing in gas safety he should know from day one
 
Please confine instruction on gas work to the Combustion Chamber. I haven't deleted anything in this thread.

Maybe you didn't, we only have your word on that, but someone has.

This is a DIY forum, if posters ask question, I demand the right to answer them as A fellow DIYer.
