Gas Paperwork question

[layzee D]

surely, he cant expect you to do the work while he's with you? I very rarely do jobs that only take an hour, and working in London sometimes it can take 2 hours to get to site. I originally thought he wanted to see you do the stuff, but we got told by an instructor to revisit tasks........confused now

 

[layzee D]

jase did he ask to see your portfolio too?

Use of temporary continuity bond is essential, especially when removing a gas meter. Any spark though electrically charged pipework could end with dramatic results when the meter blows up. I know many will say, "oh I never bother" but it only needs to happen once and your in deep dodo.

You can take the GSR inspector to jobs you have completed and he will ask you to do the minimum tests required in 26(9) and a gas tightness.

thank you reg man, by coincidence I bought one yesterday, also if an earth fault is running down the pipe and you grab both ends at the same time......goodnight Vienna

I was doing a tightness yesterday, and there was 1/2 Mbar drop, on a G4 obviously that's allowed as it was on an old cooker. but I used my Kane leak detector wand. omg that thing is awesome. I found a tiny leak on a Mild Steel straight coupling. I would have missed it with just LDF it was that small and the custard had never smelt gas under the stairs.

One major thing mine said to me is to use the brush LDF rather then the spray as easier to clean off and doesn't go everywhere

what's brush LDF?

 

[Reg Man]

The one you don't spray on.

 

[bassmonster]

Reg Man, any links as to where you can buy them from?

You can get a " No bonding " pad from toolstation which I carry for when this happens
