I have a wall mounted gas heater where the gas is supplied via (bare)
copper pipe buried in the floor screed. Eventually the floor will be
tiled, thus rendering the pipe inaccessible. So, while I am doing the
rest of the kitchen I want to take the opportunity to terminate the gas
supply prior to the point at which it enters the concrete.

How can I do it? Close valves to and from gas meter. Fit earthing
jumper across inlet and outlet pipes. Remove gas meter. Cut gas pipe
at convenient point. Seal cut end - but with what? I wondered about
a Compression Fan Key Gas Cock on the basis that once I have
re-installed the gas meter I can open the tap to purge the gas/air mixture.

When my gas hob is intalled I will expect the fitter to make a proper
(?) connection for the hob.

TIA

Richard
