If fitted in last 20 years or so there should be a bayonet fitting I think that enables you to disconnect the appliance / connect another appliance.

If you have tenants I think the rules change because maybecyou're endangering others and neglecting your duty of care (by doing the job incorrectly / with no training).

You are NOT Allowed to Disconnect the bayonet fitting unless you are a Gas Safe Engineer.


A Gas Safe Enginner will first do a Test to ensure there is no leak by comnnecting a Manometer

and testing for any drop in level indicating a gas leak.


This will be Repeated after any appliance has been disconnected.

(in case the valve in the baynet connector Is leaking)


If a new appliance is to be fitted then a Third test will be done.


Fox.

It's a bit of a grey area as some documents say you can and some say you can't. The word competent is mentioned a lot.


"Removing and replacing an appliance via a bayonet fitting can be done by anyone who feels they are able to do so as the bayonet fitting is a recognised self sealing gas fitting".

    • they probably frequent the parks more in summer when there are more people around, dropping food etc.  Likewise, I haven't seen as many in my garden recently. 
    • The discussion has been about the silence from certain posters about Truss's disastrous actions. Your 'gotcha' is merely a deflection.
    • The banking crisis was a global event which enabled the Tories victory and to this day is somehow used against Labour  covid and furlough are under events which impacted economy.  But guess what? Not just the uk economy! energy prices a result of the Russian invasion, something Johnson said would never happen and as we seek to remove ourselves from non-renewable and Russian controlled natural resources, we have Tories and reform condemning Labour for pursuing renewables. Something most other sane countries are doing  We must also not forget the mad relative in the attic.  Brexit.  Something which contributed massively both to the black hole and to the foreseeable future lack of growth  (this is something starmer has also bizarrely tied himself to. Presumably in an attempt to placate the media/loons who think it was a good idea but which will fail in both aims)
    • Ah, so unforeseeable events didn't add to the "black hole"  Gotcha
