Hi Derek, Exellent video , very well presented and easy to understand. I have watched alot of your videos over the last few days and have found them brilliant. Loads of information and knowledge on all aspects of gas works. Keep up the good work!!
I found it useful the way you explained how liquid expansion and thermo electric work. I properly understand it now! Brilliant video. Much appreciated. Thanks Derek 👍🏻 Asian Jon. Training.
Another excellent video, well explained & with very useful information on different cookers we will encounter, also the installation of the cooker was bang on too, Great video Derek. Thanks. 👍👍😁
I have been at this game a good few years but never realised the plastic on the micropoint hose was designed to melt in a fire. Thought it was a cheaper way of manufacture. Had a couple of them broken inside and haven’t pushed off fully then leaking gas. so not sure about them really. We are always learning. Thanks again.
Another great video Derek. Not sure once I am qualified (hopefully) if I would sleep well knowing I had left a permissable drop in a customers property. Would have to investigate for my own peace of mind.
Great video but I think it would have been a good idea to tightness test again if using the old micropoint bayonet as you did. Like you say, the customer is allowed to remove the hose from the bayonet for cleaning/decorating purposes. Without proving the old micropoint isn't leaking, there is a chance it could pass gas once the hose is removed. Just a thought.
Morning Derek. Great video as usual. You honest just have a good way of delivering the lessons. You mentioned Range cookers at the end, do you have a video on them? Would be great to see one. Don't see many of them but honestly wouldn't know where to start with them. Thanks for taking the time to do these videos.
@@tomkatgastraining Yeah it would be interesting. On a day off and love watching your videos. Doesn't feel like work and builds on my knowledge. Have a good weekend
when you say no smell of gas, im assuming that is within within the area of the existing appliance itself for example by doing a sniffer sweep test the living area of a gas fire... but in that scenario would it be an idea to connect your gas sniffer to a telescopic pole upto the chimney just to confirm that the gas is escaping to atmosphere.... also having said that, is there a classification category for a chimney that has a constant flow of unburned gas going into it?
Thanks for this tomkat, just wanted clarification on what would you do if the openable door goes into an outbuilding, would you need a permanent vent to outside via two vents? Or a vent and permanent openable door/window to outside
My new cooker is jutting out a good few cm from worktop edge due to gas pipe and hose at back taking up space. Changing gas pipe layout not feasible. Are there any cooker brands which are shallower in depth or still recessed at the back?
Great video Derek. So having ccn1 and gas meters only on your gas card you can still do igem 11 regulation 26(9) on fires, boilers and cookers even though you don’t have these appliances on your gas card ?
So would that comply with igem 11. Say if I where moving a gas meter 2 meters I would have to encounter every appliance connected to that gas meter. Moving the gas meter will be considered work so would visual be sufficient in this situation
@@samclaughlin8504 yes you would have to relight all the appliances and check them any signs of spillage or damage you would be ID or AR the appliances
Hello I was wondering if you can help me out, about the issue I have on my hotpoint Ultima gas cooker, I used the small ring or burner and from the ignitor came some liquid out and there were a lot of oil and liquid inside the cube where the gas comes out, the rest of the burners are working fine just the small one I dried out all the oil and liquid but I do not know where all the oil and green liquid coming from. No I have pure any water on it, do you have any idea? please I am worried, thank you
Can the gas engineer who has been originally called out for some other gas repair in the home (not associated to the cooker). But on general inspection of the cooker (because you have to make sure all gas appliances are turned off), Cut off the gas supply to your cooker say, if the engineer deems it to be unsafe to further use the cooker (even though the user feels he can continue to use it), and he only called the engineer to fix other issues (not the cooker).
A gas engineer has to by the regulations inspect gas appliances they encountered during any gas work. If the engineer finds an appliance immediately dangerous then it must be isolated from the gas supply if the owner won’t give permission then the gas transporter can be called to do it. If the engineer at risk the appliance and the owner refuses then the engineer Must note it on the paperwork and leave. Remember the engineer is only acting with the customers safety in mind so if an engineer thinks it’s unsafe it’s unsafe and should not be used.
Hey Derek, Have you ever came across or serviced/installed a gas tumble dryer? If so what classification do they come under? In terms of rules on flueing and ventilation.
@@tomkatgastraining Are you sure? A google search for BS 8445 returns loads of stuff about bath mats for some reason. And it didn’t answer my question of if you have ever serviced or installed one.
@@slendermanRblx it could be 8446 or even withdrawn now lol I have never installed one domestically but I used to look after lots when I had contracts with care homes meany years ago.
Hi, this comment is a little late but I used to fit gas tumble dryers for a housing association on a regular basis the white knight brand, they are all if not nearly all are classed as open flued appliances their products of combustion do need to be vented outside and they are indeed under bs 8446 as gas fired laundry appliances. For servicing the main things are working pressure to the appliance, you can test it from the small brass nipple on the back of them kinda like on a gas meter, check the air inlet grills on the front kinda like on a gas cooker, make sure they’re not damaged or blocked, the flue on the back of the appliance visually inspect it for damage, and looking outside check for damage on the flue terminal and make sure it’s not blocked and is secure. Those are the main things can think of off the top of my head hopefully anyone can add to it.
Anything that does not comply with the gas regs 98 is NCS. Our teacher called it notifiable. Put it on the service report/ gas safety cert. Belt and braces
