Hello,
We were due to have our gas meter replaced by the gas board but they wouldn't work becasue voltage was detected using a 'pen' type device.
The meter is in a storage cupboard under the stairs and it has an earth bond attached on the gas lever side of the meter (presumable the consumer side). We have been using the cupboard on a daily basis and I have touched the pipes on numerous occassions without knowing about the voltage. This implies very low voltage or none at all (which I doubt).
My question is how would you go about checking it yourself? I bought a digital multimeter to investigate but how and where would you put the two probes of the multimeter?
Any advice would be greatly received.
