Is this legal?

[acecharly]

Is running LPG pipework allowed like this? i was in a caravan last week and this was at the back of the van draped through the bushes. I havnt done LPG so just wandering if they have different rules.

 

[hammers4spanner]

i know its heavier than natural gas and works at different pressures but is still gas and goes bang !!

 

[tamz]

No it is definitely not legal.

 

[acecharly]

didnt know if it had to be clipped every 3rd blackberrybush at least......

 

[snowhead]

1 out of 10 for using Gas identifying tape on it fully wrapped,
But if it wasn't already yellow, what colour was it?

 

[Billy Bob Bob]

i dont do lpg either but that was fitted by a bungerlow

 

[acecharly]

I never checked but i think i remember some black in places.

 

[P J F PLUMBING]

I do LPG and that's not legal I'd would def ID that who on earth would have done that ?? Very poor

 

[acecharly]

this was the boiler in the van ...no inspection glass and P.O.C clearly visable along with user information partly ripped of the front.

 

[P J F PLUMBING]

Wow and you stayed in that van ??

 

[AWheating]

the yellow gas tape is to hide the speedfit pipework.

 

[mountainman]

If it was a Traveller site then it is perfectly legal.
I've seen much worse!

 

[acecharly]

It was only a water boiler so it was never on for more than around 5 minutes at the most if someone was using the shower...if it had been heating id have said something. To be fair the flame pic didnt look bad so i didnt complain.

What would you have done complained...riddor...?? as im not LPG i wasnt to sure where i stood.

 

[P J F PLUMBING]

Wel if there was a lgsc on it then I'd be very worried

 

[acecharly]

mountainman...you sayin im a gypo....!!! haha

 

[acecharly]

PJF...the engineer had no time for any lgsc he was too busy running that gas tapped speedfit through the scrub.....

 

[mountainman]

mountainman...you sayin im a gypo....!!! haha

Nowt wrong with travellers mate, I've lived on a few sites both legal and otherwise in various countries over the years and most times I've had fun.
I tended to be very popular because I knew my way around reducing leccy consumption by creative means.

[mountainman]

A bit too obvious that tbh, there are much subtler energy efficiency solutions available.
Not that I can remember them any longer

Darning needles and crocodile clips :lol:

Morco water heaters don't have an inspection glass and the sooting is probably from using a taper for lighting the pilot.

 

[jtsplumbing]

Has Mike says The Morco water heater has no sight glass, get lots of these on static vans black mark is from pilot, usely adjust pilot flame and they are ok.

 

[acecharly]

Ahh ok like i said im not familiar with LPG or caravan water heaters, thanks for the knowledge, i do fancy goin into caravans so im goin to look into doin my LPG soon.
