    I didn't actually check it but I will in the next day or two when I'm passing. It was my first time in the plumbing section as I was stuck for a fittings in the area.

    Only afterwoods I realised the gas range they had available to the public !

    EDIT: SEE LATER POST

    I went back to check.

    DIY Books were on plumbing (sorry)

    BUT:
    BUT:
    ALL regulators came with fitting instructions ! and said check with a soapy solution for leaks.
    No other recommended safety advice !
    No mention of RGI or law or standards.

    It even shows a picture of a gas hob with a small cylinder next to it. But fair play to the lable by " easy gas" from easiplumb.ie it does say if cylinder is going to be outdoors, it should be sheltered.
    That's about the extent of any safety guideline.

    Who needs a proper boiler house or enclosure when you have a lucky horse shoe.
    I hope the bait box prevented it being full of mice sh1t. OH I hate those ones.

    I see the electrical connector outside too. Makes you wonder if its wired through the rcd.

    Rats are nocturnal and so sleep during the day = been aggressive when woken.




    Boiler in my previous post was still
    working even with electric connector outside. Boiler was a lump of rust. 4 nuts solid.
    Burner was perfect.
    Somebody must have sprayed flexy pipe with 3in1 as it was rust free.

    Customer thought it was an outdoor boiler, thought the plumber did a good professional careing job putting on extra insulation. Serious.

    ps. it was a fine big expensive house.
