I hired a licensed (CFC) plumber to do a natural gas install to my kitchen cook top and tankless water heater. I am expecting the city inspector to arrive in a few days to inspect and endorse/approve the install so that i can get the gas service started. The gas compant wont start the gas service until the job passes inspection via the city inspector.
But there is a slight problem i believe. When the plumber left on Friday the pressure gauge on the pipe that will eventually connect to the gas meter was reading 15psi. On saturday I checked the gauge and it read 9psi. On Sunday it is reading 4.7 psi.
This doesnt seem right to me. Should I expect some sort of leak.
I called the plumber and he said that perhaps one of the valves werent closed all the way. He said he was coming in the morning to add some air? He didnt seem to be overly alarmed.
I watched him and his team the hold time do the job and i would be surprised that its a leak in pipe (black steele). I never caught a wiff of inexperience or incompetence.
Before I start to panic can anyone offer any reasonable explanation on why the pressure is falling like this?
