0.9mm
He seems to have assumed that it is about 0.87mm thick.Seems like I miscalculated, assume the pipe is 1mm thick ?
It is a legal requirement for an electrician to comply with all manner of non-electrical laws, you tit.
What I mean is that if it is a requirement of gas regulations then it is the job of the gas man to do it. Whether it is a requirement of the gas regulations is less clear as I do not have a copy of these.Are gas fitters, strictly speaking, actually 'allowed' to meddle with electrical installations?
Kind Regards, John
I know what you meant, but I don't think it is necessarily true. It's far from impossible that the gas regulations (which neither of us have seen) require that any 'electrical work' required by the gas regulations is undertaken by "qualified electricians".What I mean is that if it is a requirement of gas regulations then it is the job of the gas man to do it.
Sorry, Secure - I was led to believe that that was an acceptable way to phrase posts.You seem to get terribly upset when you feel wronged on this forum, but it doesn't stop you trying to upset others by defaulting to insults when folk say stuff you don't agree with.
He's a bit of a tit really.
Indeed, none of us do.What I mean is that if it is a requirement of gas regulations then it is the job of the gas man to do it. Whether it is a requirement of the gas regulations is less clear as I do not have a copy of these.
Does anybody care what the gas pipe benders think?Does anybody know if that conflicts with any gas regulations?
It certainly isn't a legal requirement for an Electrician. If these gas plumbers are so adamant that it be done then they should do it. None of this alters the fact that I am superior to you in every way.
The person installing the gas pipes needs to do this if there is a requirement within the standards they are working to you imbecile.

That cannot be the case. Heating engineers do everything.
(Their, amongst others, registration was one of the original reasons for the CP schemes)
Even if it were, we could tell them it was neither necessary nor required.
I don't see how we could be compelled to do it.
If they are registered as a 'competent person' to do (amongst other things) things to electrical installations, then presumably they must be in some way trained/'qualified' to do such work?That cannot be the case. Heating engineers do everything. (Their, amongst others, registration was one of the original reasons for the CP schemes)
We could indeed.Even if it were, we could tell them it was neither necessary nor required.
I agree - unless it is the case (which I don't think it is) that BS7671 requires relevant gas regulations to be complied with - and, even then, only for those constrained (by 'schemes', insurers, employers or whoever) to comply fully with BS7671.I don't see how we could be compelled to do it.
This is purely hypothetical because if such a regulation actually existed I am sure someone would have found it by now.So is it the view of electricians that even if via gas regulations, the law mandated it it, they would all refuse to do it even if asked because the Wiring Regulations do not mandate it?
Is it often the case that electricians are legally compelled to do things which are unsafe and not an electrical requirement?Or have I misunderstood the position being expressed here:
