Anyone drive away from a job and then worry about if you’ve forgot to tighten any nuts

So how do you connect to appliances as there’s compression fittings on them

I was going to ask the same thing

Just me or anyone else drive away from a job and worry if you tightened all the nuts?

Every job every day, im 58. Lost count of times ive gone back on pretence of leaving spanners behind. Never found a loose one yet mind, or a flue inspection cap.

All the time. Just gas safe registered but always get home and overthink what I’ve done! Always do a tightness test and then relight appliances just before I leave but still get home and stress.



Hopefully it gets better, any tips?

Like it good excuse to go back and check

Put the flue test plug in your pocket. If you forget to refit there is a reminder that you are bound to discover.

Yep many times on occasions even gone back to double check

I've filled the heating system up a few times and missed a radiator. When you open a bedroom door and see a jet of water spraying out of the bleed nipple! Quickly get the wet vac out and hope it's not leaked through the ceiling.
The worst one is when a customer wants to chat when I'm fixing or servicing a boiler. Then you go in to auto pilot, and even though you've tightened and checked everything you'll doubt your self when you drive off in the van. Best to ask the customer to let you get on and try not to look at your phone. That's when my mind wanders and I forget if I've tightened everything or not.

Obviously you cant avoid that.

I mean more like compression backplate fittings or where you see compression used on the pipework...

I should have said I always solder where possible

All the time, yes.
Tape test plugs to the front of the cover. Last job is normally to refit cover, so obvious if you've forgot to refit them. And never keep any spare plugs in with your analyser! You'll go crazy.
