Incoming side to gas meter

[stratplus]

trying to be nice---------- the yellow pipe is the gas coming into the house from the big pipe in the road
the aluminium regulator on top of the meter outlet is where the gas comes out to the appliances in the house once it is "regulated" at a ceratain reduced pressure
is that ok taz darling?

Oh dear

The incoming gas is regulated down before it enters the meter.

Think they normally all have an arrow on the top of the meter to tell you which way the gas flows?

 

[Dan the spark]

You can just make it out on the top of that one

It's Left In, Right Out.


When Geordie Sparks re-emerges, he'll confirm.

yes your right, The regulator is gas in and the pipe is gas out to the appliances because i have seen them back to front/otherway round

Do you have a better picture? The emergency shut off valve should come off the incoming supply then from an anaconda pipe to the meter regulator on the left hand side of the meter as you look at it.
The right hand side of the meter pipework will go to feed the appliances.
From the picture we cant see the ecv.

yes you can just bottom end of the reg the bury spot

I cannot believe qualified electricians are discussing which side of a gas meter is incoming!!!! Even the wife knows which is which!!!!

Well obviously some people don't, and being the helpful bunch that we are, we are only too happy to help the op

The pipe doesn't come out of the ground, its comes through the wall just as the pipe over on the right hand side goes through the wall. The 'tap' as you call is the regulator and is on the left hand side of the meter, which is what I thought is the incoming side but someone has told me its the other way.

Are you on a wind-up or are you really that stupid?? Tell you what bonny lad .. sell your tools on Flea Bay and go stacking shelves at ASDA - this game is WAY beyond you.

BUT ,,,, the incomer is the one with the tap, semi-rigid pipe and governor attached to it!!!

Blimey! Just signed up to the forum out of general interest. Didn't realise that it would be this entertaining! How can you make a discussion out of this? If you don't know, there's a bloody great arrow on the top of the meter

The thread is 9 months old so hopefully it's been figured out by now

Stick around a bit longer and have your mind further boggled by the heated debates on wiring sheds, wiring showers, PIR controlled security lights, Bathroom fans and cooker / hobs what make of screwdriver is best, which pliers are best ditto side cutters &cordless drills. Do I use 6mm or 10mm cable for my shower / cooker, should a van be signwritten or not, should I buy a van or estate car. The list is endless and I never cease to be both amazed and amused at how many mature tradesmen can get into such a massive lather over such simple basic things.

It's quite hilarious sometimes!!

Yup, I think I will. Apologies for the basic oversight, must remember to check dates
