Okay, my fault, but I'm fitting a combi boiler in a renovation property & noticed today the new owners have a pre payment card meter! 🙁 ... No card!!!

Is there a way to get it to give me gas for my commissioning etc? Or can I buy a pre payment card?

An alternative, can I make a meter bypass for this purpose? I see them on eBay, but will a regular merchant hold bits to make such a connector!

Its all temporary just so I can test & tightness etc, the customer has contacted gas supplier for new meter, but that could take weeks!

thanks for any advice!
 
you not got a spare meter about ?

well im sure the wont let you bypass the meter as that would be theft of gas ! but what they dont know wont hurt them i guess !
 
Nope, if i had guess I would borrow my own meter!

I know some guys have there own spare meter for this sort of thing but I don't!

I just tried an 1" mic but that was too small!
 
I have a parkray coal fire... Out in the sticks!

I am gas registered tho lol
 
Sorry bud no can do. I can hear Croppies footsteps coming over to close this thread. Theft is theft whatever way you want to call it.

Some of the natives are getting restless over this and not happy. Been pm'd too. For the sake of a nice quiet night, please don't ask anymore.
