Look Inside the Book

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

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

You're standing in a school plant room with 350 kW of boilers and you have to say whether the vents are big enough.

You read that section of the standard last week. But it was paragraphs and a table, and on site none of it comes back in order.

350 kW total, method chosen, I.S. 820 figure applied, grille free area checked.

In the book, that job is one page: the plant room drawn, 350 kW totalled, the method chosen, the I.S. 820 figure applied and the grille free area checked against it.

The regulator, the restaurant kitchen supply, the interlock, the tightness test and purging work the same way: each one has its own page.

You see it, you follow it, and you know which figure to check in the standard, and why.

The Same Topic, Two Ways to Study It

THIS
  • The manual: line after line
  • Pipe sizing explained only in words
  • You go into the assessment unsure
Where a supply is to be provided to a commercial catering area, the installer shall first establish the aggregate heat input of all connected appliances, expressed in kilowatts, and shall convert this to a volumetric gas rate by reference to the calorific value of the gas supplied. Having regard to the length of the installation pipework, the number and type of fittings and the permissible pressure loss between the meter outlet and the appliance inlet, an appropriate nominal bore shall then be selected and verified, account being taken of any foreseeable additional load.
FOR THIS
  • 100 kW → 9.2 m³/h, worked on the page
  • kW × 3.6 ÷ CV, in one box
  • The run from the meter drawn, pipe size checked
Restaurant kitchen example: 100 kW becomes 9.2 m³/h and a checked pipe size

One Page, One Topic, All Clear

Think of it this way:

You're on a restaurant fit-out. The chef wants a new range and the main contractor asks you whether the existing supply will carry it.

You open the book at the kitchen supply page and see it drawn: 100 kW turned into 9.2 m³/h, the run from the meter, and the pipe size checked.

Strength test: can it take the load? Tightness test: is it leaking?

The same goes for the regulator, the plant room vents, the interlock, the tightness test and purging: each one on its own page.

Non-Domestic Gas Illustrated is 8 parts and 60 topics, all drawn, with mistakes shown before and after, a site checklist and exam-style questions at the end.

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

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it for me if I'm a Registered Gas Installer moving from domestic to non-domestic work?

Yes. It's written for installers who already know domestic work and need the commercial side: bigger pipework, plant rooms, kitchens, interlocks, testing and commissioning. It doesn't go back over the basics of the trade.

Where does the content come from?

It's written for Ireland and checked against the current edition of I.S. 820 and the current requirements of the Registered Gas Installer scheme. The edition it was checked against is printed on the first page, and the test pressures and test times follow that edition. It's not UK material adapted. The worked examples use our own values, and we don't reproduce the text or tables of the standard.

Is it official material?

No. It's an independent study guide. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by NSAI, CRU, RGII or any awarding body.

Does it replace the course or the assessment training?

No. It's a book to study and go over the topics. It doesn't give you a certificate or count towards registration, and it doesn't replace the required training, the assessment or the standard itself.

Are the practice questions the ones in the assessment?

No. They're exam-style questions written for this book, with answers, so you can test yourself topic by topic.

When and how does it arrive?

In PDF by email, to the address you enter at checkout. The two bonus books come the same way.

Do I have to pay every month?

No. It's a one-off payment. No subscription.

Can I have it on paper?

Yes. The PDF is ready to print, so you can keep it in the van or on the desk.

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.

Before You Close This Page

No more rereading the standard with nothing sticking.
