Before I ebay its gas valve and weigh in the rest, any takers?

Just uninstalled the old beast. Still in working order... age unknown,
but probably late 80's early 90s. Was the propane model originally but
was obviously rejetted etc when natural gas was laid in.

And todays fun was watching the builder hit a gas pipe in an area that does
not have a gas supply!

And Transco (or whatever they are this week) did turn up. And yes it was a
gas supply.

Send it over here. There is no mains gas in our area, but we have a
British Gas employee living down the road. I wonder if he gets a
discount?

Yes, those so called mappers who are supposed to document where services
lie once again end up with egg on face.

It could have been a high pressure main, pass ing through an area with
no low pressure supply pipe ... the JCB driver would soon know about it.
Dad was a district supervisor for the gas board and as a kid I used to
tag along when he was on standby ... high pressure mains getting dug up
were rarer but more exciting!

Yebbut, even if you tell the builders where the cable is and to hand
dig, they still use machines:-(

At the place I was working some years ago we were putting in a new path to link two buildings (this was a research centre that had started as a country house and had a load of extra buildings added). The JCB driver exposed a 10 metre length of lead piping without damaging it, but the two characters with forks and shovels who came behind to tidy up managed to puncture it within about 10 minutes. It was fortunate that it wasn't supplying anything vital...

Outside one office where I worked, there was a bloke spraying lines
on the road marking positions of the 11kV line to the sewage pumping
station, and the high pressure sewage pipe from the pumping station,
just before the local cable company started digging up the roads to
lay their cables. I spoke with him, and he sarcastically commented
that this pretty much guaranteed they'ed hit one or the other.

He'd long gone by the time the mechanical diggers arrived, but he
was spot on - they got the 11kV cable with a loud pop and puff of
smoke, and all our power went out too. Can't help thinking it would
have been much more entertaining to hit the high pressure sewage
pipe... no fan required...

Does this mean I should be eBaying the gas valve off the Stelrad Ideal W2000
RS60 I've just ripped out and put in the scrap pile?

Was he smoking as he fixed it?

When someone went through the gas supply on the paramount estate, the
bloke rolled up in his van smoking a roll up

Of course, if you think about it, not really much chance of an explosion

Well of course... the phrase "for spares of repair" however probably
covers that ;-)

Ummm...what fan?
Whereabouts would I find such a thing?
You are welcome to it if there is one and I can find it.
