That is my train of thought, although the regs/reqs do not actually state this, with regards to the gas pipe, just states hard pipework on consumer side, prior to branches.
Sorry for typo, should have said 'can't' although I would have thought from the rest of the text you would have been able to work that out yourself. BAS did.
I think BAS simply declared that he could not see what was happening either, (maybe not, I am not telepathic) not correcting your information or typos.
I do apologise for not being able to understand/work out the incorrect information you gave.
I think I/we understand now what the situation is, and I have informed you of the correct way to address your issues.
