Hi- I'm putting in a new insulated concrete slab floor (hardcore, concrete on DPM, then Jabfloor etc.) where currently there's a joisted wooden floor.
Just lifted some boards, and I have a mains supply lead pipe coming out of the ground (which is too massive a job to replace) and then it connects to 15mm copper with a couple of elbow joints in later on. I believe embedded pipes need to be 'pull-out-able' or accessible so I need conduit/ pipe in pipe/ trench and I believe no joints.
Could anyone please suggest a good/ correct approach here? Could I just attach the copper to plastic pipe and attach this to the top of the concrete slab, and Jabfloor over this? I guess I'd need to put a largeish conduit around the lead to copper join through the slab and into the ground to keep concrete away, then it would be relatively easily accessible through the Jabfloor and screed if required(?).
Thanks.
