[QUOTE="KateLovesPurple, post: 454566, member: 743"] WHS ^^^ No need, it really is a very simple job to do. Once done, replace all the olives as you reconnect any joints, never re-use an olive, PTFE tape on threaded joints (gas not water, it's thicker) and test it for leaks afterwards with the soapy water method, and after that you can test with a naked flame! I'm not joking either. If you have tested for leaks with soapy water and there is nothing obvious then any leaks after that will be very small and the gas would be under high pressure and would just light like a jet or burner nozzle with no danger. This was recommended to me by a gas safe fitter. Of course it goes with out saying if you blow yourself up it's not my fault, :lol: if you are in the least bit unsure, have your system tested by a qualified person. [/QUOTE]
