Frequently Asked Questions
Does it continuously sound an alarm?
No. It is a manual visual tester; bubbles in the chamber indicate a downstream leak during the test.
Which version do I need?
Measure the copper pipe outside diameter: choose N-29001 for 8mm or N-29002 for 10mm.
Where is it installed?
Close to the low-pressure outlet of the LPG regulator so downstream pipework and appliances are included in the check.
Can I install it myself?
LPG pipework should be installed and commissioned by a suitably competent engineer under the applicable rules.
Pre-installation check: Confirm pipe size, regulated pressure, downstream appliance load, access and competent gas installation.
