    Is my gas fire local isolation on the Restrictor?

    Hello Plumbers. We had a gas fire fitted, one of those that looks like a log burner. I need to take it out to paint the wall behind. It has a restrictor valve under it but no isolating valve that I can see. Is the restrictor an isolator as well? Should there be a separate isolating valve? Is it...

    Gas fire with external gas pipe

    Hi all, My customer has a gas fire with an external gas pipe (runs across the front of the fire - see pic). He'd like a new gas fire. No chance of re-running the pipe through the chimney opening.

    Gas fire not fixed to wall????

    Hi all, I'm puzzling over a gas fire Valor Homeflame. (I've fixed/serviced quite a few gas fires over the last five years, but am still learning). Every gas fire I've so far come across has been fixed securely to the closure plate/back wall, so it can't be accidentally pulled out forwards...

    Capping pipe to gas fire/purging.

    If capping a feed to a gas fire in 15mm do you tend to use compression or solderd caps. I know comp. Is OK if accessible. But I prefer solderd caps. But does purging become an issue with solderd caps?

    Gas fire vermiculite replacement

    I have an old gas fire which wasn't working well. I asked a plumber to do a CP12 test (£40 as an addition to the boiler test) and tell me what he thought was required. After doing this he said it needed servicing, which would be an additional £60, and then would probably be OK. I went ahead with...

    re-routing gas fire pipe

    I'm due to fit my first gas fire (been servicing them for a while, but not yet fitted one). The previous fire's 8mm pipe runs from the right hand side of the chimney opening. Quite possibly, the new fire will take a side entry pipe. However, I'm curious - if I need to re-run the pipe, so it...
