Fairy liquid.
The approved stuff is a can of spray-on leak detection liquid.

Please explain why you want to test one joint only.

As interesting as a gas leak?

Are you going to tell me it will corrode the gas pipe? Or are you going to tell him where to buy a can of leak detection fluid on a Sunday night?
Gas leak or Fairy liquid? Ooooooh, I'll have to think about that one.
****.

Why is he working on gas on a Sunday night? Perhaps call a corgi in is the bst answer. He will have his own leak detection fluid and also do a proper tightness test

I'd think that perhaps he doesn't want to. Maybe he doesn't trust them. Can't think why.

Are you going to tell us there's some special esoteric skill in keeping gas inside a pipe?

No, but there is if he wants his house insurance to remain valid.

I assume you think all diyers know about proper tightness tests, have the equipment to do them and know how to interpret the results

B&Q sell cans of 'PH 'leak detection spray.
Cheaper than getting someone in, but what do you do when (if?) you find the leak?
That is the part you ned to be very wary of, and why did th eleak appear?, rusty pipes, damage, meddle. take care with gas

No, but there is if he wants his house insurance to remain valid.

Can you refer me to any cases where the insurance has been invalidated by non-Corgi gas work?

I think this is a myth put about by technically inadequate and insecure gas fitters. Can you demonstrate that I am mistaken in this belief?

No.

I think that you could show the average 14 year old to do a soundness test and understand the permissible pressure loss in 20 minutes. The way to promote gas safety is to make such simple training easily available and to disseminate the knowledge and skill amongst the DIYers and tradesmen who might want it.

It is counterproductive, in safety terms, to restrict access to fundamental gas training to trade gas fitters. The main concern of the gas trade is not with gas safety, it is in safeguarding their incomes.

It's gonna explode! £600 to hang a boiler on a wall?
Muppets.

1) B&Q is shut.
2) Turn the gas off.
