gas fire

[thomascryer]

hello i have a small gas fire that i want to get rid of.the gas pipe
goes from the fire through the external brick to the outside it then
runs along the wall then it tees off back through the wall into the
kitchen and also where it tees off it carrys on and then goes into the
ground.now my question is after i have turned the gas off can i cut
the pipe the gas fire side of the t piece and put a compression
stopend on it then i can get rid of the ugly pipe that runs along the wall and the horrible fire

Mate you shouldn't touch any gas pipe if you are not qualified and registered to do so!

 

[thomascryer]

that is a fair comment thankyou

not a fair comment. a legal answer. dont touch it if your not competent and registered.
your local plumber can cap off the ugly pipe outside properly and legally, once you have an empty pipe stuck to the edge of the wall, you can remove it if you so wish.
