blow off not back to wall

[plumben]

What would you class a blow off pipe that's not back to the wall or 150mm off the floor as AR or NCS
Id class it as AR but my boss said NCS but if it was my name going on the ticket id say AR

i wouldn't have though thats a gas safety issue so would just mention it to the customer to make them aware.
( maybe put a note on the invoice paperwork)

The worst you can classify it is: NCS

Not as mi's AR to cover your area, what if someone got scalded ?

yes it is, but in my opinion I wouldn't AR it and turn their boiler off over that.

That's what I thought wouldt want the blame if a kid got boiling water dumped on there head

Personally I would go out to the van and get a bit if pipe and an elbow and sort it.

Would be quicker than writing out a warning notice.

You wouldn't turn someone's boiler off for AR would you?
I thought you only cap it off if it's ID or 3xAR witch is then ID isn't it?

 

[BLOD]

If it;s AR with their permission I'd turn it off.
If it's ID I'd cap it off

No. Three AR does not become ID.

No. Three AR does not become ID.

Yep! That totting up rule only applies to flueless appliances.

OP - PRV not turned back to wall is not covered under GUISP therefore can't be classed as NCS or AR. I had a similar one where it was straight through the wall at head height, right above a footpath. Not even an elbow pointing down. Gas Safe said it's outside gas scope so outside scope of GUISP.
