I tried sticking a screwdriver on the pipe and pressing my head and ear against it whilst my Wife tapped on the other end of the pipe and I don't think I could hear anything. Also tried a cheap stethoscope and same result. I don't know how effective it would be as the rest of the pipe is buried...

Could this be the answer? This is the cable going into the house by the electric meter presumably supplying the garage (if not, is it an earthing rod)? The pipe dimensions are the same.

He doesn't touch outdoor stuff and I am still none the wiser.

Thanks for all your help, I have contacted a gas safe engineer that I know.

Thanks, I'd need this to thread first...

I redid the copper piping in the house a few years ago with solder and have used compression fittings on copper pipe. It's the pipe I am not sure about. Could you please share a link to the type of screw on cap you are thinking of?

Thanks for confirming, so what fittings can I use to cap it off if I don't have access to the screwed coupler? I want to be prepared too in case I need to join it back up.

Thanks for clarifying, is that indicative of what it is used for?

Thanks for your replies. To clarify, the garage had a utility room which used to house a washing machine. I have already located the hot and cold feed that went from the house to the garage and capped that off. This is an extra pipe. The rain water pipe is going down away from the garage (back...

I have this 19mm outer diameter pipe and I don't know whether it would be conduit for electrical cable, a water pipe or a gas pipe. The property was built in the late 50s (UK) and it's magnetic. It's a mystery what it is and I need to know. The mains stopcock in the street goes the opposite...

Thanks Harry

I have seen this product recommended for the task. I read in the specification it can take 24+ hours to fully cure. Without using drywall screws, how long would it take before it would not need to be supported? It's going into a Victorian house with 20+ feet high ceilings so spending a long time...

Hey everyone, our old rabbit hutch rotted as the frame was in contact with soil all the time. We have bought a new hutch and I am nearly finished treating it with Cuprinol Duckback. I don't want to have the same problem again. What's the best way of creating a vapour barrier if adding legs to...

We need poles approximately 18 foot long for a sun shade and a lot of the options available look very flimsy and expensive. What have people found best for the task? I'm thinking scaffold poles but not sure on dimensions required or is there is another option available.

Hey everyone. I am waiting for a swing set to arrive. When it does, I want to treat the bottom of the wooden posts that will be partially buried to protect them. I've heard a lot of people use Black Jack Bitumen paint. Is it necessary to use the Black Jack Bitumen Primer first?

I think that's the same bit, it's not shown for very long. It shouldn't be too difficult to source I would have thought, surely it's a standard size/shape/material with a hole in it?

Yeah, been there and done that! That's why I took it apart. Problem is, the o ring (presumably the bit that makes contact with the can once screwed into the basket) was damaged when I tried to unblock it, I tried to free it up with something long and sharp. If you unscrew the basket from the...

I've already disassembled the gun, it was easy. The plastic bead type bit that I am referring to was so broken that it wouldn't have have shown as anything useful in a picture. It was a white piece of plastic with a hole through it, a bit like a bead but a softer material. I think I bought it...

Within the threaded basket, there is a piece of plastic with a hole in the middle. Is that known as the inlet valve? I have disassembled my gun as it wasn't working and can see at some point I stuck something into the piece of plastic after not taking proper care of it after use. I need to know...

I've got the swirl tip installed and the flame is very fine, it's blue and in sunlight can hardly be seen. I think if anyone else is struggling, this is the way to sort it out.
