    external gas meter enclosure

    Doesn't matter which side the ECV is :idea: However in a meterbox it may look odd and a bitch to pipe. The pipe will inevitably crossover

    external gas meter enclosure

    IMO the pipe work needs extending to accomodate the backplate of the meterbox.Looks like it needs to move up about 300mm. Fairly simple to do - just get an RGI with MET1 as an element if you want to be totally legal.

    compression end caps - problem

    It seems to me your using one of those crappy pipeslices that you tighten as you turn- correct? If so don't tighten it as quick- to prevent the pipe from being deformed. If you cant - use a bloody hacksaw and get rid of the burrs.

    Gas Meter

    I did not say they would change it if asked 'cos the box is broken. I agree the meter will not be changed if still in its servicable life, and not fit if the meter is open to the elements. But they will if the OP wants to go from a credit meter to a pre-pay or vice versa

    Gas Meter

    M.A.M.s can and do alter outlet pipework to fit the meter- but hate doing it. I would ask for a meter swap ( might ask why) and make the RGI plenty of drinks and a bacon butty. He/she may do it dpending on time and workload.

    Gas Meter

    Hi Chris, As you say the box is yours. If its just the door/ hinges/lock you can get these seperatly :idea: As for the pipework if its the outlet pipework - RHS of meter - then this is also yours, you would have to get this altered at your cost. A new meter is not necessarily smaller...

    National Grid capped off supply to old lady.

    To defend the meter guys, they are told that if an app does not light to MIs (after correct purge) then they tell EU to seek an RGI. Most common is BBUs TCs failing. They can and do have the correct elements, but don't get paid for work on apps, and invite a world of pain if they take the...

    Formica kithen worktop edge

    Hi Laura, If I'm on the right track - it's gluable strip? If so, put some strong glue on it, fix to edge, over lapping the edges - but cut to length. Put a piece of paper over the good side and gently iron it on a medium heat for say 30 secs moving it along as you iron. Let it go off...

    Agreed. I feel more for people I personally know. I have a very close relative going through chemo now, I know there are thousands of others doing the same, but I do not know them personally, so................. With all this outpouring of emotion- we should all mourn everybody?
