Just curious really.
Is it allowed to mix the 3 types of gas pipe?
Am reworking the kitchen and gas man came to quote to disconnect/decommission the gas pipes we have, and run new copper pipe to the cooker and boiler.
This was my request, rather than necessity, as he can route the new ones out of sight, rather than what we have (cast iron running up walls, appearing in odd places, like the hallway wall, etc etc etc). He will leave the cast iron pipes "safe", so I can remove as I continue ti renovate the house.
Anyhow, he looked at the current setup and said it was bad, as there new galvanised connectors from the meter, connecting to old cast iron that feeds the house, then an adaptor to copper from cast iron, to feed the combi boiler and existing cooker.
Just curious really, as it's all going tomorow, but was it against any regs, or just "bad practice" to mix, or, was it fine?
