To check and reset it: Turn off all gas appliances. Turn the service valve off and wait 15 seconds. Open the valve one sixth of a turn – you should hear gas flowing through the system. When the flow stops, indicating that the gas has fully pressurised the system, slowly open the service valve fully.
