    Gas fittings are these push fit?

    Hi guys. Not a plumber just a sparky. Did an EICR on a rental and was looking for the non existent gas bond and just wondered out of curiosity if you can use push fit on gas pipe? Or are these something else? I have only ever noticed soldered joints by meters before.
