    Hi, there is a flat in a 70's block of flats, of course. The block is managed by the community, the flat has been bought. It is on the top floor. I'm going to give up gas. Currently, it is so that a 1 or 1.5 inch pipe comes out of the kitchen floor in the corner, a gas meter outlet is welded under the ceiling, and the pipe is threaded above it, a socket and a plug are screwed in. I would like to terminate the contract, remove the gas meter, throw away the pipes from the gas meter to the stove, all this is not a problem, but what to do to get rid of this pipe completely? Cut and cork in the floor? It would be best for the neighbor below. How do you go about it?

    It is possible to remove the pipe from the apartment, behind the meter, but not the main one, especially when it goes even further. In this case, it ends up in this apartment, so maybe it's real, but you have to deal with your gas supplier.

    You have to ask at the cooperative or the gas supplier. Don't do anything yourself!

    Rather with the community. "Outdoor" installations are common, such as the pipe BEFORE the meter.
    The gas supplier owns the installations outside the building (upstream of the main gas valve), exceptions may apply.
    I understand that you have no intention of selling the apartment, but should that happen, the buyer must be able to restore the gas supply.

    I would put a cork at the height of my floor.
    The most risky is to turn the gas vertically and unscrew it again. You absolutely must notify the other residents!

    After all, this main pipe is fully welded, how do you imagine the cork fitted?

    Not completely, because there is a muff with a plug on the top. Screwed. I also imagined threading a pipe near the floor and screwing it with a plug, but there may not be enough space for the tap.

    Fit the reduction with the plug thread and put it on :)
    Of course, not himself, but a certified welder.
    Before cutting the pipe, it must be emptied of gas and well ventilated to avoid BUM !!!

    It is best to cut with an angle grinder, without closing the gas, then maybe you will be blown up in the air together with a piece of block.

    Did you see the photo I pasted? Can this pipe not be terminated the same as it is now terminated only below? This sleeve is not welded on, but screwed onto the pipe.

    From investigating the matter in the community. I doubt if anyone would let you remove the gas pipes, and if you could do it at your neighbor's place, forget it. Any cutting and fire treatment is excluded - because the installation should be cut off from gas and blown / filled with inert gas.

    The pipe was probably threaded before it was welded into the installation. If you see the possibility of threading it after cutting it at a height of approx. 10 cm from the floor, try remembering our comments

    Either way, you should start by notifying the community board and getting approval.

    Not aired. It is filled with an inert gas that displaces the air from it.

    Of course, I am not going to do it alone in the wild, I would only like to hear your opinions about the possibilities to propose something in this community. But I can see most believe that IT CANNOT. This inert gas is a theory and so they probably do when welding the "Przyjaźń" pipeline. Gas in a pipe without air does not explode. Just as a tank full of gasoline does not explode like in the movies, vapors mixed with air are dangerous.

    A muff with a plug at the end of the pipe, as I guess, is on the customer's installation, because the photo does not allow you to look at the meter to determine where the inlet and outlet are.

    According to the art, it should be at the top end of the riser (that's how it is for me). The second is at the lower end of the riser.

    I am still wondering if this pipe (ended with a stopper) is behind or in front of the meter.

    It is at the end of the riser, in front of the counter. Apparently in accordance with the art.

    And now on the pipe. It turned out to be much simpler than it looked. Just like I thought, the pipe was cut, threaded and the cork was screwed on. The neighbor did not agree to cut him off. Nobody was blowing anything with noble gas, they didn't even turn off the gas, they were doing it "under the gas". The block is still standing.

    Don't look at the mess, the apartment is under renovation.
