Too much pressure at fluess gas fire

[proelitegas]

Hello people I've had a situation where the inlet pressure at a fluess gas gas fire was 22.5mb and should be 20 + - 1 the installation pipe work is 15mm and the supply to this fire is 8mm what can be done to reduce the pressure as the customer doesn't want to pay for re piping..the fire has been capped off until the pipe work is sorted any advise would be appreciated to tackle this..

I wouldn't worry about it. As long as the working pressure of the appliance is correct. No spillage. Genral checks

Whats the working at the meter?

working at the meter could be to high,check and if it is kick it in to the utilities,if that does not resolve it fit a restrictor elbow,then carry out a fga

Is it the inlet working pressure or is it the actual burner pressure?If its inlet pressure then there is no problem..If its the burner pressure then it is a problem (ID)

And that's why I think they should be banned!

so do i ,anyway why would someone want flueless in their home ? they have to have a 100cm2 vent that chills the place,a rad as well? and a fire that has no power? go electric is my advise if you have no conventional flue or cant have a BF fire

It's 22.5 mb at the burner..24mb standing Pressure at the meter fga ok but following mis to a t as gas man stated it needs 20mb +- 1..still 22.5 with all other appliances on..did the 100cm2 vent etc but the excessive pressure rang alarm bells..

Phone transco and tell them you have a faulty regulator.

22.5 at the burner equals ID. No question
