R formulated the question :
But only if you could be described as competent to do that.
On Wed, 13 May 2009 23:20:12 +0100, Harry Bloomfield had this to say:
Actually it would be better to replace the T-piece with an elbow, but again this will depend on the competence of the OP. TBH the OP's question does rather bring into question his competence, although I do recognise that competence does not equal knowledge of the regulations nor the ability to wield a spanner correctly.
Before proceding further:
have you read Ed's gas fitting FAQ? (STFW :-)) how are you going to test the finished job for tightness?
