Hi Guys,
Just had a friend ring me with a broken test nipple in the meter,ie, the screw has snapped and can't remove the broken threaded part of the screw.
He tried all local suppliers and was looking to buy the whole unit,ie the part that the screw fits into and replace both components. He could only find 1/8th inch and this is too large.
I thought I had a spare but that turned out to be a 1/8th inch test nipple .
I suppose my question is what size are we looking for and can you get these test nipples for meters,if so where from.
Or, do we have to ring transco to let them fix.
Like I said I had a test nipple in my kit (ordered nipple from BES a while ago ) to cater for this eventuality and am pleased this size issue has been brought to my attention.
Friend just rang me up to say he managed to drill the broken part of screw out with a 3mm drill bit, so thats one way to fix but still interested if we can get spares.
Thx, amy.
