What a stupid question to ask on the internet!  Nobody knows what type of connection you have, how old it is, how well installed it was in the first place, whether it has been damaged at any point or any amount of other vital information.  GET A GAS ENGINEER TO LOOK AT IT!!! 😳 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Obelix   11 #8 Posted October 16, 2019 Doesn't mean it's self sealing doesn't mean if it is that it works....  The only safe seal you have us the cylinder tap at the meter.  Get someone in if you have to ask the question you are sadly not competent to work on it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Guest   #9 Posted October 16, 2019 You are correct and obviously I was asking if it was safe otherwise I would've done it It's a bayonet fitting Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

If you want to double check the connection is sealed use a bit of washing up liquid and if there is no bubbles all should be fine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
tinfoilhat   11 #11 Posted October 17, 2019 If you do it wrong, blow your house up but you and your family survive, remember to tell the bank (your insurance won't pay out by the way) and authorities that rudds1 said "all should be fine". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
geared   317 #12 Posted October 17, 2019 Whip it off and wave a lit fag at it.  You'll soon know if it's self sealing or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
