Look Inside the Book

Every page has one big drawing and a box with the steps and values you need to know:

NSAI writes the standard, the CRU regulates, Safe Energy Ireland runs the RGI Scheme, GNI owns the meter.

The Problem Isn't You. It's How It Was Explained to You.

You've just moved a boiler two metres along the wall, and the assessor asks: does this job need a tightness test? You know the work inside out. Still, you hesitate.

In the standard, the answer is spread across clauses and cross-references. The rule is there, but it's buried in paragraphs you read once at night and lose by morning.

New work, altered pipework, a gas escape, restoring supply: each one ends with a recorded tightness test.

In the book, it's one page: new work, altered pipework, a gas escape, restoring supply, each one drawn in its own box, and every one ends with a recorded tightness test.

The same goes for the meter installation, gas rating on a metric meter, why appliances need air, flue types and propane versus butane: each one has its page.

So when the question comes, you see the page in your head and give the answer, without going back to the standard.

COMPARE FOR YOURSELF

The Same Topic, Two Ways to Study It

THIS
  • Text-only notes: one clause after another
  • Meter, ECV and regulator explained only in words
  • You go into the assessment unsure
The meter installation shall comprise the service pipe termination, the emergency control valve, the regulator where fitted, the meter and the outlet connection, and responsibility for each component shall be determined with reference to the point of delivery as defined by the network operator. Components upstream of the point of delivery remain the responsibility of the gas transporter, while the installation pipework downstream of the meter outlet connection shall be the responsibility of the owner or occupier, who shall ensure it is installed and maintained by a registered installer.
FOR THIS
  • The meter box in one labelled drawing
  • Who owns what, in one box
  • You see it and you get it

One Page, One Topic, All Clear

Think of it this way:

You're commissioning a new boiler and you need its gas rate before you sign off. The meter is in front of you and the stopwatch is running.

You open the page on gas rating on a metric meter: m³ in 2 minutes × 30 gives m³/h, then × CV ÷ 3.6 gives kW, worked through on a drawn meter.

Flueless cooker or water heater: room volume, openable window, permanent vent.

Same with the tightness test, ventilation, flue types, LPG cylinder siting and Hazard vs Non-Conformance: each one on its own page.

Irish Gas Installer Illustrated is 9 parts and 64 topics, all drawn, with a revision part at the end: the tightness test on one page, the formulas and the distances at a glance.

What you see drawn, you don't have to memorize.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it for me if I've been in the trade for years and I'm only now doing the gas safety course?

Yes. It isn't a beginner's book: it's written for working plumbers and heating engineers, in short sentences, with the rules and values you use on site. It covers domestic work to I.S. 813 in full, with one part on what changes under I.S. 820 for non-domestic work.

Where does the content come from?

From the Irish standards published by the NSAI (I.S. 813, I.S. 820 and I.S. 3216) and Part J of the Building Regulations, checked against the current editions. Irish rules and metric units, not UK or BS material.

Is it official material?

No. It's an independent study book, not published or endorsed by the NSAI, Safe Energy Ireland, Gas Networks Ireland or QQI. It doesn't give you a certificate or a qualification: it's for studying and revising.

Does it replace the course?

No. It doesn't replace QQI training, the published standards or the assessment. In Ireland, gas work may only be carried out by a Registered Gas Installer.

Are the practice questions the ones in the assessment?

No. They're written for this book to help you revise each chapter. They aren't official questions from any assessment.

When and how does it arrive?

The book and the 2 bonuses arrive as a PDF by email, at the address you enter at checkout.

Do I have to pay every month?

No. It's a one-off payment.

Can I have it on paper?

Yes. The PDF prints cleanly at home or in a print shop, so you can keep it in the van.

How does the refund work?

You have 30 days. We refund everything if the file won't open, if the book isn't what you see on this page, if you were charged twice or if the email doesn't arrive: just email us.
