    Gas installation pipe distance to CU

    The best position for a CU is in a cupboard that has a vertical copper gas installation pipe that would be about 25-80mm from a metal CU. This pipe supplies a boiler. Not a gas service pipe, or gas meter, just a copper gas pipe, with no joints, near the CU. 1) Is this OK by current regs as...

    Power electric scooter with gas generator?

    Hello Electricians! I have a gasoline powered portable generator with 220v 1700w output and wonder how I would go about powering an 20v 800w electric scooter with this. I guess it won't be enough to just hook it up to the charger as the batteries will drain faster than they recharge, so I was...

    EICR cables behind gas pipe.

    Hi all, Came across this yesterday on an EICR. Cables and pipe were boxed in with MDF which, when removed, revealed some quite untidy cabling (although the cables all seemed secure enough when tugged) which also passed behind the horizontal gas pipe. I can't find the relevant reg number, but it...

    Stroma Certification Scheme Gas and Electric in same underground duct

    I need to run gas and electric in underground duct in garden. This is not the supply side, it is the customer side.
