I want to remove my gas fire and would like advice on how the gas fire isolation valve works. Theres an 8mm compression fitting leading to the gas fire from the isolation valve.
Theres a screw fitting on the isolation valve and underneath it there is a second screw like a giant grub screw. Does this go all the way in to seal off the supply of does it just go part way in to seal off the outlet to the 8mm pipe?
If its screwed in some way it appears to have sealed the gas outlet but screwing in further releases gas. Not wishing to cause a larger leak I haven't screwed it all the way in but I suspect it is just gas from the short length of 8mm pipe being released.
Any advice on how to seal this off so I can get the old fire out. I am not planning on installing another or I'd get a fitter out.
Thanks in advance
Nick
