Easy question for those with more experience than me!

Nonsense.

Lol nothing's nonsense in this life, but we will soon find out who supplies the op Meter if he keeps us updated

Is this a serious question Croft or are you ripping the pish? Tell her to phone you to arrange a date after the meter is fitted.

Hi all,

Doing my first combi boiler install the week after next. It's in a property that has just had a new gas supply fitted. How do the gas transporters normally leave the meter box for you? I'm assuming the ECV will be there and also the anaconda and regulator will be connected to the ECV already and capped off?
Cheers!

If there is no meter. They willl have removed the reg and anaconda and bracket (if fitted). Ecv will be capped and should have a notice nearby.
You will need customer to establish a gas suppier and inform they need a meter. They will in in turn get meter network lads out to fit meter and annaconda etc etc.

If uncommisioned /faulty appliances are suspected connected to carcas or there are no appliances fitted then he should cap meter outlet off and leave notice nearby and TT meter. He records meter serial etc and tells supplier for billing.

It will then be down to you to restablish the supply TT. Purge relight etc...but if everythigs working when he gets there and its an ordinary meter swap - he would do that.

Bear in mind a lot of meter fitters have the most basic quals and cannot work on appliances.

So you can see why anyone just cant help themselves to a meter or decide when to inform - Its not your property.

I do have my meter ticket, got it just for this job. Was told I would have to supply and fit the meter myself.

Who told you that pish. Would you buy an electric meter for someone with a new supply. Think about it and think how ridiculous it sounds.

 

[newcastle phill]

Could always buy 2 and keep one spare [emoji12]

Thats opening up a whole new subject which i'll take the 5th on lol.
No point in knowing how to beat the game and not using it 😉

LOL@Tamz. I'm not taking the ****, I don't know how it's supposed to work yet! I'm assuming they will supply everything up ton and including the meter and that it will be capped at the meter outlet ready for me to go...

We all know though that assumptions can cause problems down the line which is why I'm asking here.

So MET1 is just for fitting secondary meters then?

Can I throw in another question , as someone as pointed out some of the guys changing Meters don't have the Quals to check out other appliance's, so who re-establishes the supply ? relights pilots etc.

 

[newcastle phill]

No met one isnt for secondary meters. Its for meter work.
As you should know you are authourised to remove a meter while working hot or working on an open ended carcas and refit it after. You need a met one for meter work.

Depends on the job.

If everythings operational when he gets there and its a swap for a new smart or credit then he does purge and relight.
Or they do a "concern for safety' and just turn it off if it doesn't look right

Let me ask the question ,

Does anyone other than us actually care?
