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...

Nope. It worked and saved digging a floor up. The higher pressure gave
more gas volume through the pipe. Technically there was nothing wrong
with it. Initially the regulator was taken off, but it was thought the
meter reader would report it, so it was put back and opened right up.

22mm gas governors are readily available.

Nothing wrong with it????

********. The regulator if the gas company's property and interfering
with it is at the very least against the contract the householder would
have with them.

You said in one breath "illegal" and in another "Technically there was
nothing wrong with it."
