Let-by or is it?

You can always prove let-by, just remove anaconda from ECV and bubble. Simples, always handy to have plenty of 5lites on van.

Is it true that they them call 5 lights because it was to do with the old gas lights and how many we're in the house size of meter etc.

Yeh as far as I know, that's correct, 5 lights and 10 lights.

I've had this a few times too, also had them blocked solid so they don't give anything

Had one recently that was even more bizarre, it would rise, then fall, then rise!

Never figured it out, it just stopped. Thought it may have been a leak and let by but bubbled ecv, nothing. Took about 20 mins to complete a test. Any ideas..? Managed a 5 min test solid in the end so walked away scratching my head.

Was it a windy day? Believe it or not wind can cause this.

atmospheric pressure

Not that I can remember it was in quite a sheltered estate as well so sun or heat wasn't to blame, it's a digital gauge as well so wondered if it was playing up but it's fine. It was up and down about a mb but would hold steady in between changing direction. Really odd and would love to have found out what it was.

Imagine the wind blows on the other end of the gauge a bit like blowing on a bottle top?

It would have been wind mate. I've had it a few times and you will find it again I'm sure.

Well happy to associate it to wind/atmospheric pressures as I haven't got any other explanation. I've been out in worse weather than that before though and not seen anything so pronounced.


Maybe being in a sheltered area actually amplified the atmospheric difference.

Emergency control valve, the lever valve on the incoming side of your gas meter.

Doesn't have to be windy where you are.
