They are fairly common around Aberdeen. Many years ago I chased a ‘faulty’ boiler, a Vaillant if memory serves, which had an intermittent fault. Couldn’t get to the route of the fault. I didn’t do one basic check! After contacting the agent and attending site, we discovered that on light up, the inlet gas pressure dropped to about 9 mb for a few seconds. I hadn’t checked it previously. On checking at the meter box, it turned out the breather tube was kinked inside, and didn’t let the regulator ‘breath’ or operate quickly. This caused the dip in pressure. I’ve never forgotten the fault. Stick to the basic rules and follow procedures. Thanks for an informative video. Every days a school day!

Thanks for the video, they’re always put across in a really approachable way that makes it as easy as possible to understand (as easy as the gas industry is to understand!) All the best Allen.

Moved to Dublin from the UK, and had an issue with a medium pressure system. Had the nicest chap come from the gas board to get me out the preverbial. Turns out we were both avid fans of you. Keep up the top work.

Allen Hart I used to be contracted to a housing association, I’m sure you know what they are like. I ended up hating boilers so much I went to work In the funeral industry, great job satisfaction but just not the same feeling as fixing an old persons boiler at 9pm. But with the likes of your videos and baxi, just makes me really miss problem solving. Keep up the videos mate, I like others truly appreciate them and only wish I had these when I first started learning, would have helped a lot!

Great video Alan ....I recently seen a medium pressure meter with no toggle lever or button. Just wondering would that be tested as a normal low pressure system? It was definitely a medium pressure meter so got a little confused with it. I do have pictures lol

Hi, thanks for this, is there a reset button? thx

@richardhodgson7443 3 жыл бұрын

Forgive the stupid question but what is the difference between low pressure and medium pressure tightness testing? Is it the size of meter and amount of gas coming into property?

@Jehannum2000 3 жыл бұрын

The safety features on the medium pressure meter get in the way of tightness testing (Under Pressure Shut Off shuts off at let-by test pressures, so you have to reset it before & after let-by test). Lock-up pressure is lower; if there's no Meter Inlet Valve you have to do the test 2 mbar lower than normal to avoid lock-up.

Hi Alan, these are good points, but I work over in NI where (nearly everything) is MP, I'm sure the regulator brings the pressure down to about 26 (ish) mB. Also, did I see it right that the let-by was done at 0mB, or was he just muddled? Let-by's are done at 7-10mB?

As a trainee i came across the medium pressure meter. However my engineer didnt want to remove the meter on a install, as he put it could cause problems. Is the procedure the same as removing E6/U6/G4? Even in training the temporary removable for hot works has never been discussed

@Jehannum2000 3 жыл бұрын

The procedure is the same as for low pressure. Once the gas has left the regulator, it's at the usual 21 mbar pressure. The meter is just an ordinary meter.

At what pressure do you attach the monometer for the medium pressure test?

@Jehannum2000 3 жыл бұрын

Your question doesn't make sense. It doesn't matter what pressure you attach the manometer. It matters what pressure you do the test at.
