Gas meter on flexible connections?

[Paul Barker]

Quite a few of us corgis will now do earth bonding, but you'll not get a sparks to do gas connection.

At last we have true oneupmanship. Mind you it's cost me somat to be able to say that:

Part P course £881
5 days loss of earnings £1,000?
Travel £100
MFT £822
Napit examination and first year fee £587
Loss of earnings £400
Hotel and travel £150
C and G 2381 £587
Loss of earnings £400
Travel £50

Oh that's only £4,987 Well I didn't really want a new van.

I agree. I'm Part P qualified but often still prefer to have sparks in. I do not take on any electric work on its own.

 

[Paul Barker]

I've edited my post, have another look. But at least I can stand up man to man to any corgi inspector who wants to discuss the electrical part of my installation and tell him where to go!

 

[Paul Barker]

But it does confirm that I am a fool, though a fairly well qualified one. anyone want me to chair their boiler manufacturing company or somthing? then I can have one of those nice big country houses with ground source heatpumps and such like on trial for the company.

Giz a job?

 

[gas4you]

from your 'expense sheet' i take it you are qualifief to 'A' level. I only went to level 'B', done my course and exam in Norwich, registered with CORGI and inc Megger MFT only came to £1500 all in I am now considering whether to renew for this year or not. Can't make my mind up

 

[Paul Barker]

[gas4you]

do you have time for work with all these courses

 

[Paul Barker]

No, but my van keeps breaking down, £4,000 this year so far, and for obvious reasons I can't afford another.

And we get all these numpties with cosey offcie jobs on here thinking plumbing is a gold mine.

On the course I was on today (warm air) I know I'm a course junkey but there is now a man in scarborough who can service the many warm air appliances in old folks flats, blokes working for firms (in Hull) were on about how they have no work at all, are just sat in the yard a washing the van.

 

[gas4you]

is this because they only fit Ideal boilers?

 

[fitz1]

well paul , looks like youve now, with all those quals spurned the chance of fulfilling your childhood dream of being a cowboy. I though can still live that dream.

I think I got Grade 6 on the piano! We should get together sometime!

Today I saw a gas meter with a steel pipe in the INLET and an anaconda on the OUTLET !!!

Shall I say anything on the LSC ? ( If so what? )

[Paul Barker]

Hey Fitz were you also sitting in the bacl of class daydreaming about being the Virginian?

Of course the gas meters in the ground have an anaconda on the outlet but are fixed ussally iron piped on the inlet.

I've had to stop myself going and getting the homeinspectors energy efficiency audit cqualification. I need to go to a support group.

 

[Agile]

That meter was near the ceiling and now I think about it probably supported by the steel pipe!

 

[BOB.ELOD]

Lead inlets cannot be left now and meter will be fitted on a jig..

So is this classed as ar i come across lead inlets on a regular basis
