When I completed the LPG changeover I included LAVs and boats, had training and assessment as gassafe says. Was pretty similar in difficulty to CCN1.
Really just want it for static caravans and alike.
Boats would be useful as there are shed loads of marinas up here but maybe another day lol
I've got a water heater to fit in a boat with a friend in the next few weeks and whilst pricing it up I discovered a few things,
That the GSIUR does not apply on the boats.
Boat owners are required to get a Boat Safety Scheme inspection yearly for their insurance but the inspectors do their own tightness and spillage tests. This means that it is not a market that requires any gas qualification to compete in.
Most owners and boat fitters seem to do their own work , especially on narrowboats, maybe the Marinas are a bit more of a viable market.
BS EN 10239 LPG in small craft states that for copper over 12mm it must be annealed and have 1.5mm walls, as far as I have tried so far noone makes anything to that specification.....................
On ringing a boat fitter to try and source some I was informed that they go to Jewsons for their copper or just use that which is there (8 or 10mm) which would be massively undersized for our needs. They were pretty obviously not gas safe and it made a bit of the mockery of the need to be.
Saying that from my perspective we are fitting the water heater in the next couple of weeks so it will have more than paid for itself after that.
