Don't matter if power ain't off at boiler as long as the heating ain't on..as it's in standby waiting for further instructions really. Yes if heatings on then turn boiler off
@@memyselfandi36 ideally you don’t want boiler to run while replacing meter so good practice to isolate power. Can see that while the engineer in this video is doing final tightness test, that the boiler has been run (making him have to go and investigate and redo his tightness test).
Hi there. I had a question….. since the government is banning gas from 2025, dont you think gas engineers will be out of jobs? Or will they be installing hobs only. Im asking because I’m interested in doing a gas course but I’m worried that I won’t be having a job in a few years and my course will go to waste.
The government aren't banning gas in 2025, they are preventing new boiler installations in new build homes from 2025. For many, many years to come, people will replace existing boilers and continue to upgrade existing systems. The likely evolution is hydrogen, so I think the industry will be sound for a long time, but the ability to evolve will be needed. Best of luck
Not necessary but you would need to do some kind of tightness test ie a squirty bottle with washing up liquid in squirted onto nuts ..if it don't bubble then it's fine
Where does the Smart Gas Meter get the power to run the meter electronics? Does it have a battery that has to be replaced on a regular basis or does it have a mains connection or a fuel cell operating off the gas supply?
The smart meter itself has a lithium battery in it with the average life of 10 years. The In Home Display (which many people mistakenly call a smart meter), depends on manufacturer and model. Some have cable only so have battery and cable
Cos the ones already on should be fine unless damaged but hard to see why they would've damaged...a 20yr old gas meters seals should still be fine...its gas going through not water and its air tight
Man tightened up them unions with the strength of superman! How he didn't split the washers i don't know, should be up to hand tight then quarter of a turn to tighten 😅
Why aren't the new meters the same size and fit as the old ones, so that there's no need for a new bracket? Is it to create extra (unnecessary) paid work for the fitters?
It takes a smart meter roughly 30 years to omit the same amount of RF output that takes a standard mobile phone 3 mins…. I would be more worried about your two year old phone or better yet your microwave than a smart meter…. Keep spreading misinformation though don’t worry about the objective facts 😂
Let by test 7-10mb not 9-13mb (2min) Stabilisation (19-21mb-1min) Tightnesses test ( 19-21mb -1min) You need to purge the system at the cooker before recording standing pressure . 20-23mb usually Then do your working pressure ( 3 rings at cooker ) The anaconda is kinked a bit so really be sure you don’t get a sharp bend.
Sorry but you’re incorrect in what you’re saying also. Stabilisation and tightness testing is (not between 19 & 21mb), and standing pressure isn’t no greater than 23mb (that’s working pressure). - Tightness test pressure is between 20 and 21 mbar. - 1 minute pressure and temperature stabilisation (may require longer for a stable reading to be achieved). - 2 minute tightness test (where necessary adjust pressure to between 20 and 21 mbar before commencing test). Those are the correct procedures and pressure for a Tightness Test & Stabilisation Test.
Can anyone offer me a one-on-one training about installing meters? Found the physical installation part easy enough but things like the basic safety requirement and precautions, what could go wrong in an installation, tools required and the basic concepts behind what he's testing and reading (and the tool he's using to take the reading) before he uninstalled the old one is what I'm interested in. Thank you

Cameron Reason That’s perfectly inline with gas regs. One side rigid one side flexi. You are only allowed one flexible connection on new installs. Why make life difficult by having a double rigid connection when the meter is well supported with a bracket and up to current regs.
I work with gas in the US. I like seeing how other countries do the same job as I do, it’s interesting.
where gas smart meter gets its power from?
Just looked online as I was wondering the same, turns out they're battery powered but the battery lasts around 10 years
@@AutoUnder old smartmeters battery last less then 10. My ones display is dead . I dont know if its still metering
it has its internal battery witch last 20 years or so
Haha, health and safety person will love this. Good old purge through meter, forgot to turn the power off to the boiler too 😄

Very interesting 🤔 I like these sort of videos it's not something you see everyday

Did you find an answer ?
It may switch to hydrogen etc

Really when will this happen 😂
Is a meter bar required for all new gas connections? asit is missing here.
Not necessary but you would need to do some kind of tightness test ie a squirty bottle with washing up liquid in squirted onto nuts ..if it don't bubble then it's fine
Invisible PPE strikes again 😂
Great, but how about getting the bloody thing to connect to the network?

why did he not use new rubber seals...??

The meter should be supported from the top with a bracket rather than just sitting on one
Why do smart meters need new regulators
Smart metre are bad dangerous hazard ylto your health
Get rid of them smart meters what else can I say but truth. Put lead around them for now but still not good for you or Nature.

Where is the cap on a gas meter
Why did he just tighten the fuck out of those nuts, gonna squash the washers and cause a gas leak
Washers will be fine no matter how hard you tighten
Can someone tell me how to get my display back on it’s not showing me anything
Probably a battery failure, if you have buttons a and b on the gas meter and it doesn’t respond when you press them contact your supplier

Are you based in London
How do smart meters save you money. The only way i know is not to use the Gas or Electricity. I can do that without a smart meter.
Cheapest tariffs are now all sms tariffs (that’s one way).
Dual Fuel smart tariffs usually save another 6%

You mean the anaconda not a flexible hose
Flex hose on the HP side?👎🏽
Cameron Reason That’s perfectly inline with gas regs. One side rigid one side flexi. You are only allowed one flexible connection on new installs. Why make life difficult by having a double rigid connection when the meter is well supported with a bracket and up to current regs.
