Legal issues around PRVs

[AWheating]

They stole gas pipework by me, and they didn't turn the gas off either. About 8 houses in a row. Somebody walking down the street called the grid and reported a gas leak.

I've seen that, been to a job to reinstate gas to find the run had been nicked. Good job they were on a pre pay meter

 

[Killy Bing]

I wonder if meters should have an excess flowvalve with a trickle feed to reset them... Hmm

I did a spat of call outs to Hartlepool when I first started to some lovely houses, meters removed, gas gone and broken off ecv cold water flooding house...... Did about 5 on a row every night. Turns out landlord was running insurance scam. How did I know, pipe work was sheared off , boiler flue was removed, prv cut with slice and rad brackets unscrewed.

I just don't understand why folks would do that.... animals.... i know I'll never be a millionaire, but when i go i know i wasn't a crook,thief or just scum

A PRV can go into the waste pipe it just needs a tundish installing so a leak is visible.

There are MILLIONS of blowoffs all over the uk and I've never come across a stolen one.

Ive heard a housing block in East London had 23-30 blow off nicked in one night ,
plus had a call from a landlord . Tenant had no hot water , some one nicked 2ft of copper that comes off the meter

We see a lot of ETM's stolen. Go along press button for credit and if there's a few quid on it it walks!!!

It's Sheffield though, to be expected

How dare you pour scorn on my fine city,our thieves don't mess about they leave the prv and steal the boiler instead

The other year the Vaillant rep confirmed Sheffield was number one for boiler thefts in the UK....
