Is it gas pipe or is it a pipe with gas in it, would gas bored just leave a supply to house with no meter think about it you can just con up and all your heating will be free , think they would cut of in street, ring them up and ask, or just take paint off pipe with something and bond then test all good at end day, you can go home put feet up and what for next job

Could just briefly turn the valve on to see if it is actually connected to mains gas. Daz

Be assured it very probably will be, but I have to ask what would the presence - or not - of gas in the pipe have to do with the issue of does it need bonding?? :dead:

Perfectly feasable but you would need to bolt a governor on it first to reduce the pressure from 70 Millibar to 20 Millibar first!

Think it's to do with it's a pipe, you can not see what's in in but you think something is in it, so your mind start thinking what's in in, then you think s..t it's a gas pipe and I do want to touch it, but if it was a water pipe you would just get the sharpes thing out tool box get the paint of and bound it test go home have dinner, beer go to bed

Just turn the valve on about a third of the way. Daz

Which will reduce the flow but not the pressure. Nor will it regulate the pressure to keep it constant. That is the job of the governor.

By all means try it and see what happens ...... I'll send flowers to your funeral.

Make a good flame thrower!
Done it once on a chopped gas pipe, regulated though.

Just put a clamp on the handle! No need for sandpaper or a blow tourch. No paint on that!.....I'll get ma coat.....

That is almost the most sensible suggestion we have seen so far.

I'll get the guv'nor to try it then

At the end of day it's a pipe with paint on it, just a pipe not a big thing just a pipe, if it needs bonding take paint off, and bond it's that easy, it does not mater how you get paint of just get it of, I do think the best thing to do is open valve light with long match, let pipe get nice and hot then paint will fall off, close valve let it cool down then call 999 ask for fire and run, put bill in for say £800 and then start a new post as to why you did not get paid
