Capping off an old gas metre

[els34]

Thanks, I will phone the Gas Board in the morning and ask them to do it instead.

All the pipework up to the meter, and the meter regulator, isolation valve, and meter are the property of and responsibility of the gas network/supplier.

You may not remove any cap on the gas meter, nor may you re-site the gas meter. The gas meter may not be moved by anyone other than your gas supplier's agent.

A registered gas installer may connect to or disconnect from the meter, but is not permitted to re-site it.

wow so few post and great knowledge if i never knew any better i would swear youve been here before.

but defo he is right

I was here before, but several years ago....

I've spent a lot of years fitting, servicing and fault finding gas installations, domestic, commercial, and industrial, and I've seen a lot of very dangerous things done by well-meaning people who thought they could do it themselves, but didn't know quite enough.
I've seen a house that rained down in little pieces, because someone thought they could do the gaswork themselves.
And I've seen the bodies taken out of a house where someone fitted a gas fire without knowing how to check the flue.

That's why I quoted the regulations too. Bell284, you know what I'm saying. The requirement to do it right, with the proper knowledge isn't a scam to make gas fitters rich. It's there to keep people safe. Long may that remain so.

You should crawl back under your stone

Mr Gassafe, perhaps you could explain yourself.

You don't need an picture of an internal cap if you are an RGI so shouldn't offer advice on what you know little about.

A cap is external, a plug is internal, you can use blanking discs with gas metres. I was just trying to get clarification as to what had been fitted. Not necessarily for myself. I would not DREEEEAAAAAMMM of offering advice when it came to anything to do with gas!
