Matter of ticking the right boxes, as you've pointed out WRT a perfectly safe LPG install that they wouldn't pass. BTW I did my own LPG instaln on my NSW country place. I'm a certified welder in oxy, stick, MIG & TIG and my FIL is all the above plus refrigeration. Hasn't leaked in 15 years but it still doesn't meet code because neither of us had the magic bit of paper. Fortunately I didn't care, I just used my account with BOC to rent industrial cylinders of LPG instead. Always a way. Yep, you can get around the rules. In a normal situation the gas supplier will not fill or exchange on site cylinders without seeing the compliance plate. Which is why I just used my industrial gas account. All BOC care about is whether you pay the bill or not and lots of people do oxy-LPG cutting. Hell they're so pedantic that you can show them the paperwork but if there's no plate attached, and legible, they go away. I had my LPG pipework done by a licensed gasfitter here in Tas (guy was an ex-AAD expeditioner). He told me not to bother renting bottles if all I was running was a stove (which I am). Just go buy 2 9kg LPG cylinders and use them. No bottle rental, no hassles, plenty of running time. Worked for me, so I have a legal installation but don't bother with the paperwork anyway. As you say, always a way.... |
