My guess re the PPE is he didn't know what service head he would find.  A modern one like you have is usually perfectly safe, but if he had found an old cast iron one, I'll bet the PPE would have been used.

 

I reckon the old Bakerlite ones are probably the worst, aren't they?  At least with the cast iron ones you can see what you're dealing with before you start, but I pulled one of the black ones years ago and the thing literally fell to pieces as it came out.  Luckily we were taking the roof off the house and doing a complete rewire and replumb, plus we still had power from the farm supply, as IIRC it took SWEB a couple of weeks to come out and fix it (them being so slow was the reason my brother and I just pulled the fuse in the first place).

has anybody done the calculations on CHP units run on mains gas ,as it appears that my plots can have mains gas now -

and from what I have gleaned from here if you have mains gas its still cheaper than any other solution at this time even if only to heat water .

Just giving this a bump in case 2.5 years later someone has an answer to it.
