[GQuigley67]

found this today!

attended a main water heater with no hot water, removed cover, pilot was lit, asked custard to turn on hot tap, main burner did not ignite but a gas leak did around the gas valve. when tap turned off big gas smell......

boss saying to custard ...oh this ain't good a leak igniting....im'saying sorry to interrupt but for christ sake boss turn off ecv.....





pics show an inoperable ecv due to pipes to kitchen sink taps immediately in front and behind ecv lever,
a quick scramble for a stubby screwdriver and gas valve on appliance was isolated. a repipe of sink was necessary in order to do a TT, custard lucky boiler did not blow off the wall......

Nice one kay-jay! The multi point water heaters have always been a fun on to check out the heart rate! lol

Seriously dodgy meter position though, and too often found these days IMO! Kitchen fitters should be repreted to HSE for installs that restrict access IMO 🙂

You should have just bent the handle forward. It wasn't catching by much. Saved yourself some hastle. Oh and phoned it in as an AR to the supplier for a rusty anaconda.

something a bit boring, after capping off 4 parts of the gas pipe in this property i, working my way back to the gas meter and testing each time for leaks, i in the end found this on the other side of the gas meter, sods law, looks like its been there 30 year, one side of the joint leaked 3mb in 2 minutes..nightmare but happy to have found it after pulling a the house to bits..

The pic doesn't really do it justice. There was really no way to move the lever immediately as was required but as some donut had used pushfit on those pipes only took a min to reroute them. Supplier is coming to assess possible relocation of a new meter externally. We then go back to install a combi. Worryingly customer said we were the fourth people to visit since hot water went on blink a week ago. All promised to return but none did. Also none picked up the leak or even asked where meter was..........
