could anybody else tell me what this is please?

Hello,

First time poster but this forum has helped me no end in the past.

We've just moved into a new house and we've got this monstrosity hanging out of the side of our fireplace and want to remove it. It is next to the gas supply but I don't think the two are connected.

It has a drain on it so I think it may have something to do with the old central heating system.

Any help would be excellent.

Thanks

the one on the right with the wheel looks like water, probably part of your heating. the other looks like gas

You need to slowly UNSCREW the drain cock to be sure! The washer inside usually sticks after a few years!

Then use an angle grinder to cut it off and the grind the pipe back to just below the surface so that you can use filler.
