i would say you need to be qualified then

Will I get those from whoever suggested putting in a 63mm pipe?

Gas Transporter will know MIP.
The Gas installer/Gas installation designer will Know MOP but Gas transporter will know it too.

If you are issueint some sort or test certificate I think you should have commercial
If you are just testing for peace of mind, maybe not, who fitted the pipe? Is it to the correct depth? Will it be correctly buried etc?

No no test certificate needed. Will check depths etc when there. The pipe is sleeved in yellow corrugated pipe.

So this is what I need to test and cap this pipe. Quite a lot of fittings.

1 x philmac 63mm end cap
1 x primofit adaptor 63mm compression to 2 inch bsp Female
2 inch x 1 inch brass reducer
1 inch male iron to 22mm compression and some copper tube. Test, then cap the test point.

That’s why commercial guys charge loads
I know Shaun and Last plumber use £50 notes as bog roll.

I am charging 2 days to just go and test this plus the parts. It is down in Margate so should be half a day there, back and testing.

Trouble is finding places that stock these fittings. BES do but then I need to wait for a delivery and was hoping to get down there tomorrow.

It has taken me 2 days to research fittings due to work, wife and 3 kids at home all being rather demanding.

I need to take more dump breaks at home I think!
