A friend has one similar to this has had it 6 years and uses it.
Now it come swith instructions on how to coinnect it up, but don;t
have to be registared or even compentent to connect it up.


The fittings are designed to be easy to use and make a reliable cone
joint metal to metal seal. However it only takes scratch on a mating
surface, or damage to a hose to end up with a leak. So it still pays to
test the connections with a leak detection spray. Its also the users
responsibility to inspect hoses etc and make sure they are in a sound
condition.



Leak detection spray? Weak washing up liquid and a toothbrush is far
cheaper.


Just gob on the job, a bit of mucsus never hurt anyone ;-)
I have leak detection spray, the gas fitter said it's not as good as soap and water, as it tends to evaporate quicker.
