Your thoughts on bonding this gas pipe

[davesparks]

Ok what i was meaning was still gas...

In the interest of being annoyingly pedantic I have to ask if a gas could ever actually be considered to be still?

Gases at 0K excluded of course

 

[Meggerman]

have a look through some of your past posts in here....

you might want to edit them...before the crowd comes in for a look around in the morning...

anyway, whats your issue with tony?..

i know who i`d be backing....

My issue with his suggestion, I have no issue with him. He does not know the condition of the pipe under the paint, nor is it a risk he can take. I am not going to edit it, it is my view and you have your view.

but as has already been pointed out (by myself & others)...a leak would menefest itself as a flame....nothing more....as long as pressure is maintained...

hence me reference to the drop test earlier on in this thread...

 

[Meggerman]

He would not of carried out a drop test though and would just be assuming the integrity..

trust me..there would be evidence that the pipework had been breached (smell)..or as we says...small flame...

After 8 bottles of black sheep and half a bottle JD the gas is not still and the wife has said I have got to sleep in the shed tonight as my leg is not bonded and I might blow the house up.
Think the best then to do is to get a meter fitted and then bound on new pipe, or just get paint of existing with a blade and fine sandpaper(P120)

No, its just a live supply in the event that someone wants it, there's never been a meter, I should perhaps tap off it into a boiler and a gas hob, just think, nobody would ever know!

YOU would know and you'd know very quickly!!

Between that valve on that pipe and the missing meter there should be a governor.

The gas pressure in that pipe can be something like 70 millibar and the (missing) governor reduces it to about 30 millibar before it enters the (missing) meter.

Connect that pipe straight to your boiler and gas hob and you'll never have to worry about another gas bill ever again - or anything else for that matter!

I think 35 years of working on HP gas systems gives me a bit of an insight. We burnt 600,000M³ or 6.8GW per day.

No I wouldn’t do any such test simply because I know it can’t be done on a live system. Other methods are used.

Get back to me when you know what you are talking about.

 

[Geordie Spark]

No meter, no gas in the dwelling, remove some pant, why?

There are a couple of reasons why I would remove my pants.

 

[Geordie Spark]

Bloody hell. Glennspark and an apology. Well sort of

The moon is blue tonight too.

 

[Geordie Spark]

I can't believe how much of a deal you are all making out of this, we'll I can actually.

i only asked what you would do with regard to sanding a bit of paint off the pipe, I've already established in going to bond it, I just wondered if anyone else had a better suggestion...

Soften the paint with a blowtorch first - it makes the paint removal easier and as an added bonus will perform a leak test for you at the same time.

Always happy to help.

 

[Geordie Spark]

its like a lingerin fart innit....

Aye .... a bit like some of the threads on this forum.

 

[Geordie Spark]

I'm just a little amazed why the question was raised in the first place??

Consider it to be a Suicide Mission.

 

[7029 dave]

Morning, still going on about this bloody gas pipe.!! lol

 

[Doomed]

Seven pages on a no-brainer question? Bored are we?

 

[snowhead]

Just to keep the discussion going.

That Gas service pipe and Emergency Control valve belong to the Gas Transporter not the Property Owner.

 

[GMES]

But if that was my house and as already said by op that there is a 230v socket within close proximity then I would be bonding it if it needed it whether the gas police liked it or not!

 

[snowhead]

Would you also make a Connection to the DNO cable before the cutout or Meter?
