two semi rigid steel connectors on gas meter

[Tod]

Hi Guys,

Quick question, how would you treat two semi rigid steel connectors on gas meter.

All appliances are operating properly and all tightness tests etc have passed.

There are also no signs of corrosion on the pipework....

thanks

not too sure what you're talking about but ncs

 

[Tod]

Yes exactly, what i wnated to know is can the LL leave it or would you need to do something about it?

ie: Ncs or AR... as it is definatley not allowed

BS6400 2006,
8.9.2 says "only 1 pliable (semi rigid) connection shall be used" on a meter installation

​

 

[mickie]

its not allowed but its also not AR or ID, so it'll be ncs

Thats what I thought, many thanks

dont we just inform the transporter that there is a property with 2 semi rigids and they then send out and change them over.

 

[stani]

is'nt there a technical Bulletin about this?

 

[villa_tom]

The transporter won't do anything as there will always be one flexi to a meter on the inlet - everything after the inlet is down to the home owner so its just NCS

 

[stani]

Technical bulletin 084 ---- NCS---and the customer to contact the supplier to get it sorted, we're all correct.

I'm somewhat baffled why they would say contact the supplier. The meter standard shows the flexi on the inlet and rigid on the outlet, so if you have two flexis surely the outlet is wrong and it's the home owner/landlord who would correct.
