Hi can anyone tell me how I can remove the pipe fitting from the connection. Is it the silver nut above the isolator valve I need to undo or the brass nut just above the pipe connection.

Thanks
 
Has the gas been isolated ?
 
Only from the isolator that you see on the photos.

I want to take it if the wall but the pipework is connected to the isolator

Best get a gas safe engy to Decom the heater then you can remove the unit
 
That's my intention but I need yo get the flue our of the wall and appliance off the wall. The only thing left would be to get the gas pipe blanked off. Hence just need to k ow how to separate the gas supy pipe (from isolator valve) to the heater as per the photo
 
You need to have the gas supply disconnect, capped and tested by a gas safe engineer. Then you can DIY remove the heater.
 
So why is there an isolator valve there. Surely turning this off and then undoing the pipework will leave a closed valve, I can then remove the heater and get someone on to cap off the pipework.
Will that not work?

No that’s not allowed.
The isolator is for the gas engineer to work on the appliance.
What you describe is classed as an open end and the national grid would come and cap your gas meter or dig up the road and cut off your supply.
It won’t cost much to get it done properly and safely,
 
Should be under £100 depending on where you are
