Gas pipe off the meter.

[coldboiler]

If my gas safe registered engineer is qualified to do pipework is that sufficient to renew the gas pipe right back from the meter or do I need someone who is qualified to work on meters?

I do not intend to do this myself but want to make sure whoever I employ is properly qualified and not over reaching themselves.

The current pipe is 28mm for the first foot and then reduces to 15mm. I want a completely new pipe 28mm off the meter.

Yes he should have correct domestic qualifications on his card.

This is sufficient. He should also have a flue gas analyser ticket. CPA1

Provided your registered gas fitter has pipework on his/her card then
that will be sufficient for the work you want done.

No need for anything else but make sure the the card is not out of date.

Make sure it's his card and not some ones bus pass!

Is your gas pipe undersized at the moment?
Have you had your new boiler fitted yet?

Just had some one today asked if I can connect a new gas pipe her dad will be running through the house because boiler has just been serviced and says she is only getting 6 mbar at boiler, was fitted 4 years ago by BG, asked if service engineer tested from gas meter ? tells me no, only from boiler. Told her to go home and ring Transco before putting in new pipes, its more than likely faulty governor , I will be calling Monday to retest system, Worcester G/Star heat only .

your engineer will only need meter qualification if they need to alter the position of the gas meter.

Who has calculated you need a full 28mm gas carcus?

Looking back on your posts you seem to be doing quite a bit of research on this job, and now saying you want a 28mm pipe running instead of it reducing to 15mm after a ft. How do you know this and why is it important to you? Youve asked about sleeving in a previous post. Why do you need to know this? Alot of these questions give me the feeling your looking at having a go at this yourself. If im rite dont do it for the sake of yourself your family and anybody else who lives in your street. You dont need to know about these things that is what a trained gas safe engineer is there for. One post mentions you have had 4 engineers round with regards to a boiler for this job. Aslong as they are qualified they will know how to make sure the size of any pipework is correct so its irrelevent asking this you dont need to know.
