I have seen an illegal work-around. The meter regulator turned full on
with another one at the appliance dropping it to the required setting.
It worked. Only a boiler was used.


That's going to be an interesting surprise for the next bloke who adds a
cooker or gas fire to that system!

Hope you reported that to the gas company - seeing as they own the
original regulator...


Doesn't that over pressure the meter and run a risk of leaks and death?


No.
