erm.........one end will be open-after pipe is cut into-was refering to the open ends of the pipe at the inlet and outlet of meter.

yeah thats the one-to think i was just sent there to locate and fix a gas leak-a nice easy job ...........not

remove meter,cap open ends of pipework and cap meter inlets aswell-then place meter in safe place away from where you are working-thats way i was told to do it in acs exams

its a pretty old thing- a baxi solo wm 30/4 pf. found the manual on parts arena and now have the fault finding guide as there are 3 orange lights on control box-but cant remember which ones were lighting up now

Was called to a gas leak today-turned out it was the boiler itself-when the boiler is turned on it does 1 of 3 things- 1. fan starts-igniton starts and both the main gas and piolt gas start to flow at same time! 2. nothing hapens at all 3. fan does not start but power is sent to the gas valve...

Think im gona go for one of the mysons-can the fit under the breakfast bar as the air blows outwards as for the noisy fan ill have to turn volume up on tv if it happens :D

Just plumbed in the radiator in the conservatory-its a designer collum type,no convecting-just 4 rows of double bars-although the rad is getting hot don't seem to be warming room up!Got it running through back of breakfast bar table on back wall-would changing this for a double connector...

Worse part of the exams is when you know the answer to the question 100% and then it comes back marked wrong! I got just 1 wrong on the closed book paper(what happens to ng-does it rise/mix with air or fall to ground)Obvious that it rises! but come back wrong-after scratching my head for 5 mins...

Took my acs exams 2 weeks ago-the assessors gave us exactly the same advice!

It is true-i live about a mile away from there,they were trying to steal the pipework out of an empty house-explolsion was caused beacuse they were smoking whilst taking out the gas pipes!! :shock:

Dont think the cold pipe would need insulation in an internal wall-but if it is being plastered over and its copper pipe it would need to be sleeved to prevent corosion from the plaster.Not 100% sure on this but sure somebody will correct me if im wrong :wink:

you tried an agency? http://www.orionelectrotech.com/candidates.htm
