Gas Pipe

[notb665]

This is a pipe through which gas was delivered to the fire which has since been removed and is no longer required:


How can I have the end of the pipe not protruding through the floor? i.e. I will replace the floorboard and do not want the pipe there anymore.

Can be sealed under the floor but cannot use compression fitting to do so.
Therefore must be soldered joint.Job for RGI as to do this correctly the gas meter should be removed and reconnected and installation tested afterwards.

You need to get an RGI to cut off and cap the pipe for you below floorboard level.

Its barrell isnt it?

You cant solder iron up matey!

1/4 inch plug or cap will be suffice but must be done by an RGI

What they are saying is the silver bit will unscrew from the (iron) pipe and it will need to be replaced by a screw cap or screw plug that will go onto or into the exposed fitting. You may be lucky if it finishes below the floor board level - otherwise the RGI have to go below to the next joint.

I think that's a Registered Gas Insta££er.

And dont let go of the pipe underneath when the isolating elbow is removed!

It can drop a long way
