Yawn.. morning all
Thanks for the replies. David.. I started to look at all that stuff you posted links to and ended up something like this :

I haven't got the time or the attention span and me reading glasses need replacing
I find that if you trawl the net enough re regulations on anything you will end up with all sorts of different interpretations possible. Discount is quite right. It's a bit like the ladder regs situation so I thought it best to get it from the horses mouth so to speak and phoned Calor.
I told them exactly what I wanted to do and got the replies that I have posted.
As to quoting reg number X sub section Y etc I can't and didn't ask Calor for them either. I did discuss it in depth and was satisfied with the info that I was given. Calor are in the business of selling gas so I doubt that they would give info that prevents them from doing it. This could be a very lucrative market for them.
I was researching it from a suppliers point of view and indeed it is a no go. Not just from a financial standpoint. Liability could be a very major issue as well.
As I said I have no axe to grind re this at all. I don't currently sell hot systems. There is still a great demand for cold systems and I am already booked up into mid January fitting them.
From a purely personal point of view if I were to consider fitting a system like this for my own use window cleaning I would want to make very sure that I did comply with any regulations because as has been pointed out insurance etc could be a very major issue.
Peple like Matt have gone to great lengths re ventilation against CO2 which is laudable. I didn't even get to that point. It was merely the carriage and storage of the gas bottle that put the mockers on it for me
All the best to you all
Andrew
