It always strikes me as a bit odd that I can mess with oxyacetylene at a

Indeed.

However, there is nothing to stop people doing gas work without
CORGI registration, provided it is not for gain and they are
competent.

SI 1998 No 2451 - The Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998.

Obviously CORGI are keen not to mention this and give the
impression that one must be registered to do any gas work.

Try convincing LA officers otherwise though.

Well - if that's what the regs say...


Water manometers are easy to make and so is leak detection fluid.

Troo. And so is checking for leaks _before_ touching anything - quite often
systems can be leaking before work is done.

Yes.
