ok so no matter what as long as in void will need venting cheers

i was talking to a mate regarding this issue and he asked a question that obviously i couldn't answer so i'm asking here, if the gas pipe in a void area has to be vented does it need venting into next room or outside?? also if it needs venting in a void why don't it need venting if inside...

that might be an issue with that plan then as the pipe will be internal in void and roof space above porch and im not having vents in ceiling as will look a mess cheers

cheers for reply you say needs venting ?? so vented where ?? to the outside or will i have to have vents on the new ceiling??

hello all i recently asked questions on here regarding gas pipe under concrete floor but now looking at alternative run as plans changed slightly. ex council maisonette concrete floors and ceilings gas pipe runs half way around the flat before it gets to the first appliance (boiler) meter in...

thanks for the replies i'm a bit concerned about plastic pipes but looking into it it seems to be used alot now, my mate swears by it and dont use copper at all now. never considered using 10mm i'd be concerned about flow restriction but would solve the visible pipe issues alot easier

hi all can anyone give me any info on the use of pe-x pipe on the rad runs. i'm looking to re route all the rad pipes that are currently running all over the flat in white trunking. i want to place either behind skirting or inside walls to hide pipes. i have a mate who does property...

its only running 2 items on the current 22mm setup was linked into warm air heating before boiler installed but as said is an ex council flat and im not convinced of quality of work plus put it down to length of run before hitting any appliance. my last place had same boiler running 3 bed...

thanks for the link, yes he mentioned this but said cost wise go for copper and wrap he said used same at his under concrete so if good enough for him :D

at the moment the run is 43ft of 22mm to boiler with 7 elbows before t's off to 15mm (1ft) then 4ft of 22mm plus 1ft of 15mm to hob, new run will be 13 ft of 22mm with 3 bends no elbows 2 straight joints joining to boiler then the 4ft of 22mm plus 1ft of 15mm to hob. at the moment if hobs on...

yes mines a 22 mm same as in place around the walls now, this will reduce the run to a third.

hello all had a pro gas man call today so for anyone in future wanting to know what he said inside property pipe needs min of 40mm screed, best line trench with sand so any depth will be layer sand plus pipe plus 40mm, copper pipe can be used and wrapped for protection in pvc tape or other...

thanks again for the posts i honestly thought was just as simple as dig trench ...... plastic pipe = x deep copper pipe = x deep other pipe = x deep line trench with sand or xxx cover with x inch didn't think so involved just for the trench i knew the pipe side of it was way out my comfort...

i agree and wasn't even considering anything other then digging but at end day its hurting my head so ill call the man that can and see if he can do it around my other jobs or change the order of works. cheers to you and all who have posted

to be honest i think easiest option is to call a man sooner then later n sit back and :sleep:
