• 3.4 Undersized pipework proved to be affecting the safe operation of any appliance (ID)

Why was the gas supply re-routed? Is this installation acceptable?

• Yes, since the old supply is capped off and meter box knock out sealed this installation now complies with GSIUR and GIUSP

• No, although the gas supply has been re-routed the PEB still enters the property (in accordance with 2.10 (AR))

  The rear of the meter box is still compromised (AR)
