No, Phil; the funny bit was that you'd thought there was 2 bar/30 psi
pressure at the test nipple on the meter outlet, when it's more like
one hundredth of that; 20 mbar/0.02 bar/0.3 psi.

Whilst you're flannelling around to hide your embarrassment, you really
did make yourself look very silly there.

You then showed you had no clue about how to use a manometer, but
someone told you how to do it later on in that thread.

I'm afraid not, I have never fitted a flueless gas fire, I have tested them
though, along with hundreds of other gas fires, boilers and other gas
appliances as part of my job, what job do you do?

You really shouldn't be doing that, Phil.

You are a handyman and you really shouldn't be buggering about with
gas appliances when you know nothing about them and have no idea how to
use the very simplest pressure measurement tool.

You're not qualified and are a danger to yourself and your customers.

As you said; "I myself have no formal qualifications to speak of, but
had
the confidence to try everything and some things I was good at and now
I
earn my living doing them"

Your confidence in your own abilities is misplaced.

Ah, another HVAC engineer who knows feck all about ventilation and even less
about combustion, there's a novelty.

An truly inspired choice of words.
I know enough about combustion to be able to calculate the mass flow
rates at which the combustion products would accumulate, assuming a
stoichiometric ratio and complete combustion. I'd thought of doing that
out of interest, but can't be bothered. I also know that you wouldn't
have a clue.

Probably best if you shut up; a shut gob gathers no feet.
