Is it lawful?

Question

Is it possible to pipe calor gas into your home ,and run your gas appliances off bottle calor gas without having your appliances modifide .

Answer 1

Why would you want to do this tho? If your concerned about using gas when you only need it then turn it off at the supply? Oil fuel for cooking and heating is a good alternative and my mate has this and loves it.

Answer 2

No and NO...don't do it.

Answer 3

really shouldnt think so,

Answer 4

dont even think about it. you will blow yourself up.

Answer 5

this sounds dangerous. I would talk to experts first.

Answer 6

No. You need to change the gas jets. Natural Gas and propane require different flow rates and pressures. Yes it is lawful however you do need to have a sleeve pipe around your gas pipe to run the gas through the wall. This is to prevent any leaking gas from accumulating in your cavity wall.

Answer 7

No it is not,The jets are a different size.

Answer 8

rural homes tend to use lpg and have a storage tank in the garden or garage but you would need a suitable boiler and jet converters for your hob/oven.

Your best bet is to ring a few corgi plumbers as they will know the best solution for you

Answer 9

Are you being serious. To mess with any gas supply into a house, you have to be corgi registered. Do not try it yourself. Or we will see you on the news, after your house exploded.

Answer 10

Not really sure, but gosh, imagine the excitement of not being sure if you r house will explode at any given moment.....stop being so cheap, pay you gas bill!

Answer 11

Yes, this is possible, but you would have to change the orifices in all the burners to work with this kind of fuel. In places where there is no central gas available to be piped into a home (like many rural areas), people have tanks, a truck comes and fills the tanks up periodically and inside the home there is similar or the same type of piping, as in a home with central gas, to carry the gas to your cookstove or other appliances.

One thing that will need to be changed, though, is the orifices for all the burners. If you still have your owners manuals for your appliances and they include parts lists you might see that they list the different orifices for different types of gas.

I would evaluate all the costs for doing this conversion. I would think that you would be laying out a lot of money to implement this bottled gas system and converting of your appliances. I'm not sure that you wouldn't be spending more for bottled gas not to mention the amount of time it would take you to regain the money outlaid for the conversion in the first place.

In any event, this is not really a do it yourself scope of project. You would need to get a real plumber or technician certified to work with gas piping in there to do it for you.

Answer 12

Don't think you can do this. Companies who have gas on their land have to have permission from the environment agency and have to have it certified as safe.

sorry dude.

Answer 13

Yeah, go for it.

BOOOOOOM!!!!!!

Answer 14

All natural gas appliances need to be modified in order to run on LPG...
