Your gas engineer will be able to inform you of that!

Thanks I am putting the pie in and running around to the meter. Then my firm are getting a gas engineer out to connect to meter and fit the boiler.

It doesn't work like that. The Gas Safe person should do it all.

 

[Markus1]

I know that. But this is what my firm has told me to do. I am a plumber. Not gas safe though.

 

[Markus1]

I admit I am not happy with it

OK, if you are not happy, instead of publicising this on an internet forum, ask 'your firm' what to do.

 

[PrenticeBoyofDerry]

If your firm are supervising your work, ask them how to comply to the gas regs.

electrical insualtion tape?

If you are not happy then tell your company so. They should be providing all the materials for you and ensuring that the install is managed in a professional and above all safe and legal manner. If you are having to ask this then you can't be deemed competent to work on gas related fittings.

Ask your firm what they want you to do - that way, you know it'll be done to the standard they want

OP: The pipe joints shouldn't be taped until it has been tested.

Well said - test first, then protect and cover

Guessing a hydraulic pressure tester would be needed for this?
