external gas meter enclosure

Doesn't matter which side the ECV is

However in a meterbox it may look odd and a bitch to pipe. The pipe will inevitably crossover

 

[Brigadier]

Would the (Nat. Grid?) be happy to pipe the new meter in if I mounted the new box directly above the meter? i.e. would they extend the pipes upwards to meet the new box, which would be c. 450mm above the ground?

 

[Brigadier]

Anyone?

if you want to pay them they will be happy to take your money

Depends on the guy that attends + any 'incentives' you may offer him

Costs nothing to ask.

I am quite surprised they have left it in that condition. For one thing there is not the usual bracket whose purpose is to prevent you turning the meter round and geting free gas.

I think the national grid is nuts for walking away from this in this state.

I suppose it's somewhere down south. i saw masses of meter boxes with no doors in London. the Transco blokes when I called them for ecv's which were out of reach or too stiff on barrel in blocks of flats grumbled at me.

Sorry but my job is to ensure the tenant is safe, if he can't turn off the gas he isn't safe.

"For one thing there is not the usual bracket whose purpose is to prevent you turning the meter round and geting free gas."

I wish someone had told me that earlier!

to compound the problem it has two flexible pipes which further facilitates fraud.

They are fools!

the result of atomising a previously co-ordinated single entity with a proper duty of care to both the consumer safety and the law..

And this is what we get! wouldn't have happened when it was one coherent organisation.

Still polititons are too busy going round covering their crimes to care about these after effects.
