This post will provide you with some essential guidance on how to stay safe around gas appliances and will assist you in becoming aware of the regulatory tools required in your house. What Is a Gas Isolation Valve? matters, and therefore should bear the cost of their mistake or oversight. Sector/industry orientated at least as effective, and ALARP for the circumstances. Linking the Predictive aspects to the Technical Measures provides guidance that pipework shall be clearly identified as carrying a fuel gas by painting the pipework yellow ochre (to BS 4800:2011, 08 C 35) or primrose yellow (to BS 4800:2011, 10 E 53), or by applying a “Gas” marker tape at suitable intervals along the pipework.

Isolation valves can be in the normally open position (NO) or normally closed (NC). Normally open valves are located between pressure vessels, pumps, compressors, tanks, pressure sensors, liquid level measurement instrumentation and other components and allow fluids to flow between components, or to be connected to sensors. [3] The controlled closure of open valves enables the isolation of plant components for testing or maintenance of equipment, or allows flow of fluid to specific flow paths. [4] Normally closed valves are used to connect fluids and process components to other systems only when required. Vent and drain valves are examples of normally closed valves which are only opened when required to depressurise (vent) or drain fluids from a system. BS 8446: 2020 Installation and maintenance of open-flued, non-domestic gas-fired laundry appliances – Specification It’s important to know all about your water shut off tap but gas is even more risky, whatever local shut-off valves you might have, being able to simply cut it off to the home could be essential. If you aren’t certain of where your shut-off valves are don’t delay, it’s time to go and find it. Note: 'Alternative' means of access may include elevated work platforms, scissor and boom lifts. Appliance isolation valves A good gas plumber will be more than happy to provide plenty of advice and guidance along with their service. If you have any questions about your central heating system or gas supply, why not keep a list? When you next see your trusted local gas plumber for a boiler service or gas heating repair, they’ll be more than happy to take you through all the items on your list. A happy safe customer that knows all about their heating system is a great customer for any good gas heating engineer.

Explanatory note(s)

Gas isolation valves are simple devices that merely turn off the gas supply, serving as a "method of isolation." A gas isolation valve is a crucial component for safety purposes. Your gas regulator regulates your appliances' gas flow to prevent unsafe levels. However, to ensure that all components are appropriate and safe, you should never directly touch a gas isolation valve. Instead, always have expert technicians do the task.

Menon, E. Shashi (2011). Pipeline Planning and Construction Field Manual. Elsevier, Inc. p.396. ISBN 9780123838544. Isolation valves must effectively stop the passage of fluids. [4] Gate valves, ball valves and plug valves are generally considered to provide tight and effective shut-off. Globe valves and Butterfly valves may not be tight shut-off due to wear on the plug or the seat, or due to their design, and may not be appropriate to provide effective isolation. [3] Where gas appliances are in use there a should be a local or appliance gas shut off or isolating valve. This is typically a lever ball valve with a handle (often yellow). When the handle is in-line with the pipe, the valve is open and gas will flow to your appliance. To shut off the gas to the appliance, turn the handle 90 degrees so it’s perpendicular to the pipe. Locating all of your appliance shut off valves is important in case you need to use them in a hurry. If you don’t find a valve, you may not have any installed. A good gas safe plumber will help confirm that and will install suitable valves to give you that all-important control over your gas flow. Getting help with your gas and heating The separation of make-up air is intended to prevent the production of toxic gas from the interaction of the dry-cleaning chemicals with the burner flame in the laundry appliance. The flame picture should be confirmed as intended with the dry cleaner operating. Clause 8.2.2 states that a pressure test point shall be installed as near as practicable to the exit downstream of the manual isolation valve to facilitate tightness testing.

Permanent fixed means of access should be installed where the regulator is located on a roof or at a height beyond the extent of normal steps or ladder. Fixed access is to comply with AS 1657-2013 Fixed platforms, walkways, stairways and ladders – Design construction and installation. Note: Regulators have a finite life and must be replaced at intervals as per the manufacturer’s specifications. As previously stated, this Industry Standard Update is only a brief overview of the information contained in the amended standard. Registered businesses should be aware that they have a responsibility to ensure that they are fully apprised of all of the requirements of the whole published standard and its practical application.
