getting a gas certificate

just had our mobile inspected, and it failed. we have a gas fire , gas water heater, and a gas cooker, and these all need to have their own shut off valves, but not only that, they have to be fitted by a qualified engineer who will/can issue you with a installation certificate. without this piece of paper, they will not consider giving your mobile a "pass" .

Correct, and most (if not all) of the older UK import caravans don't have this.  I did see one the other day that did have shut off valves but that was the first.  You sometimes find they may have one or more but not all.  It's (as you have found out) the regulations - along with a few other things...and without them you won't get a contract.

I have retrofitted a number of caravans and (through an authorised Repsol engineer who inspects the work) can get the installation safety certificate you need to be able to get a contract.

Hi Chris and Nigel

Nigel
Re our conversation today when we met in Blascos and Clibegas, I have a 25mtr coil of 8mm copper tubing, so if you need it for the caravan let me know and also how many and what size adaptors you want

Couldn't PM you as I don't have enough points

Hi Stuart,
tubing isn't such a problem - it was 12 to 8mm adapters that were - they're now ordered as nowhere in Tortosa seem to have them.. 8mm isn't really used here..

I'll keep the tubing in mind though.

Thanks,

Nigel
