- Regulation 26.9 is a section of the Gas Safety Installation and Use Regulations that provides guidance on what checks an engineer should carry out when working on an appliance. The regulation states the following.
National Gas Centre For Excellence NGCFE
“(8) No person carrying out work in relation to a gas appliance which bears an indication that it so conforms shall remove or deface the indication.
(9) Where a person performs work on a gas appliance he shall immediately thereafter examine -
(a) the effectiveness of any flue;
(b) the supply of combustion air;
(c) subject to sub-paragraph (ca), its operating pressure or heat input or, where necessary, both;
(ca) if it is not reasonably practicable to examine its operating pressure or heat input (or, where necessary, both), its combustion performance;1
(d) its operation so as to ensure its safe functioning,
and forthwith take all reasonably practicable steps to notify any defect to the responsible person and, where different, the owner of the premises in which the appliance is situated or, where neither is reasonably practicable, in the case of an appliance supplied with liquefied petroleum gas, the supplier of gas to the appliance, or, in any other case, the transporter.”
The checks can be easily remembered using the abbreviation FAGS, which stands for flue, air, gas and safety devices.
These checks must be carried out as a minimum when working on an appliance.

SUGGESTION: Gas fires. How to recognise the different types. To this day, I don't really know if I'm looking at a radiant, dfe, inset or whatever else.
Fires are my Achilles heel Lol.
What would be really useful is a video explaining how to proceed if the gas rate is not within -10% and +5%. A lot of these gas courses cover how to gas rate but don’t really go into how to classify when it’s not within tolerance and also how to rectify.
Upsize / downsize pipe to achieve gas rate
@@rjv9858 assuming the problem is with pipe sizing. Lots of things can adversely affect gas rate.
@@edmetcalfe8974 what like? All got to do with the gas pipe itself, either too big, too small, blocked, too many bends etc if that’s what you mean? all boils down to pipe though
@@rjv9858 Could also be faulty regulator at the meter causing low pressure, distance from meter to appliance, pipe size, gas escape on system, bad gas valve? many reasons.
@@JayGasEssexyour standing pressure would have clarified a faulty governor
Great presentation. Should have the customers watching this. Especially the penny pinching landlords.
I really enjoy this type of videos, good job guys
Great video thanks for your efforts lads ..
These videos really are good Allen
Great video. Cheers
Great video..
Can how about a video on gas fires on 26.9 checks
Another great video allen
great presentation
Thanks Allen top video
Yesss Allen done and dusted...but great video to learn from 🙏
Have you seen that some manufactures of boilers are stating the type of circuit breaker that is needed? I saw on a recent discussion board that a type B was needed? It also went on to state that they recommend a SPD (surge Protection Device) in the fusebox/fuseboard/CU to protect the sensitive equipment on the PCB of the boiler
Great video but you ideally want to spray LDF generously around the isolation tap of the gas under boiler once disturbed, not just the isolation screw. When disturbing the ECV by moving it also wanna spray around the handle, spray the anaconda and the two nuts in and out of the meter for peace of mind. Great video tho, nice and informative.
Video suggestion would be safe electrical isolation, safe to touch test and checking the polarities etc on the boiler and the house. Many a time do I have a chat with engineers and they just don't do it. An idea mate :)
Checking the voltages across live and switch live on diverter valves is another idea mate, allowing newcomers to establish correct functioning (or incorrect) of the switch itself.
All true however this has nothing to do with tightness tests or meters other a than gas rating so you are really only going to use ldf on the appliance iso and / burner pressure test point
@@tomadams94 true, just popping a few extra safety things in there in case a new starter sees something they wanna pick up; if they anything like I was back in day they will be watching everything and reading everything :)
@@theheatingdoctor no it’s good practice a lot of people don’t spray valves after touching them! 👍🏻
Good video.👍...when you gas rate cooker ,do the oven and grill have to be switched on as well?
Can you clarify the 5% above and 10% under as TB 141 states that under BS297 & BS EN 483 the 5% and 10% are tolerances during manufacture of the appliance for CE approval. However there is no specific tolerance stated anywhere that is applicable to gas rating at the time of commission or servicing. I think this is possibly a rule that has got mixed up as it has been past down from person to person since 2012 when it came out.... Thanks
🤘😎🤘
Can I ask If the gas rate I got lower than manufactory book how can I do thanks.
Allen, PLEASE PLEASE do i video on regulation 26.2 nobody talks about this regulation.
I will look into it. Thanks.
didnt check your analyser for O2 before testing the boiler. and then no flue integrity was done either.
11.50 :- 3 burners on a hob to Gas Rate ? is'nt 3 burners on a hob to check for working/operating pressure?
Yes mate. Slip of the tongue. Well spotted.
why didn’t he start gas rate test at the rite point on the gas meter ?
1097:31=35.38 kW gross
a shorter way of doing it
No flue integrity test?
Isn’t that only if the flue is in void?
It’s a shame these rules only apply to certain engineers, national gas supplier contractors exempt according to Gas Safe! How does that work? One rule for us and another for them, surely NG has the same risk whoever works on it? No wonder people leave this trade.
Why do the Big Gas companies only do a tightness test on a landlords,
But private households just bring fault code up on a boiler and don’t do mini tightness?
TH-cam warriors don’t want to talk about it
Personally if your a gas engineer and you dont know 26.9 checks, your not competent and should never be doing gas.
