gas pipe

Hi, does anyone know what this material is around the gas pipe that comes into my house? It’s brown/black and quite sticky. Anyone know why it was used? Gas leak?

Hi, I am in the process of doing a garage conversion. There is a gas meter on the inner side wall of the garage with the gas pipe going straight down into the ground. The pipe must lead out of the garage but don't know where. It is likely it goes straight out either under the side wall or...

Not technically a disaster, but felt this was the most appropriate section of the forum. Just a story from a now retired plumber in my family. A long time ago, a plumber in my extended family (now retired) got a call from someone saying they could smell gas in their home. When he got there, he...

Hi Gas engineer carried out out cp12 inspection and has listed fault as "Gas pipe has not been adequately protected and is showing signs of distress". The gas pipe runs from the gas meter outside into the property (see attached). I agree the pipe being exposed to the weather condition has...

Just had the annual boiler service and the engineers report has come from the cover company stating we need to have remedial work completed to prevent any potential claims in the future being declined on our policy. Remedial work required: double anaconda on the meter. I presume this means the...

I had my boiler relocated in the loft, and to do this the gas fitter installed the 22mm copper pipe in a stud wall (no I did not do it myself). I had already stripped off the plasterboard. Now I'm ready to reboard the wall, but before I do I'd like to give the pipe some mechanical protection...

Hello there im hoping for some information as im completely clueless on this subject, my neighbour installed a boiler in the spare room of thier house and without asking ran an external gas pipe down the front of my property and the condensate pipe into my gutter pipe. About 3 months later i got...

Hi, We are having a new boiler fitted and I returned home yesterday to find our plummers have routed a 22mm gas pipe out through the brick lintel above a 2ft window. Aesthetics aside, which I can live with, have they compromised the structure of the lintel? Thanks

I had a gas leak about 15 years ago, the external supply pipe had rotted. When the gas board replaced it they said someone would come back to repair the driveway slabs and make good the hole. They never did and the hole got filled in with all the ground they had dug out. I’m now going to have...

Hi all. OK, I know you get this a lot and I apologise. I've read a lot of posts regarding the 'best' boiler and I'm not asking for that, only some advice on who to believe and your own boiler preference. The situation: A three storey town house. Gas enters at ground floor front door, rises to...

Hi. Got a Vaillant ecoTEC pro 28 combi boiler which is about 10 years old. I had a plumber come today as our boiler continually turns off with a F.62 warning and red light, have to press the flame button with a cross on it to reset and get hot water back. The pressure also continually rises to...
