I would be happy with them pressures

Really? But surely I shouldn't be getting a 2mb drop across pipework??

Aren't you allowed to have 4mbar drop on an existing pipework with an u6/g4 Meter over a two minute test Periode ?

That's for tightness isn't it?

Yes

 

[jaydebruyne]

Yes

I'm talking about pressure drop from meter to appliance

1.5 mbar with one appliance running and much better than before

And I'm sure your loosing .5 mbar on that 15mm

One thing I did notice that I haven't seen before, all the readings pulsated on the gauge.. half a bar. Just went up and down constantly by half a bar.. dodgy regulator? Or is that normal?

Could be but its normal for it to move up and down a wee bit around .5 I would say is normal

Without seeing it it's a guess what do you think ? Are you happy with the results?

I'm happy that they're better, but not happy I'm getting a 2mb drop across pipework. But then, I'm not as experienced as you so if you say it's ok I'll go with that and put in a new hob, long as the flame pic and simmer are good I can call it a day..

Yea you can double check by phoning your friends up at Nat grid about the reg

Do you know age of reg / what meter is in imperial or metric ?
