Gas supply

The gas supplier should ensure the availability of an
adequate supply of gas. A gas meter may only be con-
nected to the service pipe by the supplier of gas or their
contractor. An existing meter should be checked to
ensure that it is capable of passing the rate of gas sup-
ply required.
Installation pipes should be fitted in accordance with
BS 6891. In IE the current edition of IS 813. Pipework
from the meter to the boiler must be of an adequate
size. Do not use pipes of a smaller size than the boiler
gas connection (15 mm). The complete installation must
be checked for leaks and purged as described in
BS 6891.
