Have I dropped my self in it here?

[Killy Bing]

It might relate to new installs but I'm sure there's nothing in the IGE/UP/1b about shutting ISO valves on existing systems

Sod that.....
asking for punishment.

 

[kirkgas]

This is from IGE/UP/1b
From the section on testing existing systems,
Read point h and the note after it, to me that ends the argument as it says if the drop is less than table 1 figure then it's a pass

EDIT, doesn't look as if it's readable, but on the plus side it means I can't be wrong, if anyone has the doc it's point 5.3.2

I was inspected by Corgi, Council inspectors, Technical guys ...never once during a TT on a existing installation with a permissible drop was I asked to isolate appliances and retest.....smell of gas ?? document and move on. It's bizarre how ppl can interpret the regs in completely different ways.....does this not signal that there's an issue with the sheer number or clarity of the regs ??

 

[newcastle phill]

they dole out this innacurate sh*te and require you to learn it lol.
Not a case of misinterpretation on my behalf. A case or reading plain english thats wrong from the outset.

Thankfull for a place like this where issues can be challenged and discussed openly

this is I think the latest book, got from Steve Willis for my gas course, permissible drop on existing is permissible, nothing about weather its on the carcass or not

that's why it lists with or without appliances connected
without = no appliances or isolated appliances

apprentice or doing your initial assessments?

Initial assessments, got a couple of months of my C&G left and to do my portfolio, before i start it, but no work at the moment with my mate so sucks big time

Without means without, you are surmising it's the same as isolated, nowhere in the IGE document does it say you must isolate the appliances, it says that if an existing system with existing appliances has a drop no more than the specific allowable drop in the table it is a pass, so that means if you have a drop on an existing system it can be left without identifying where it is

well BH rather than HH, but yea, thanks never go in trying to wing it, will study and make loads of notes and hope it all sinks in
