Hello,
Looking for some advice/clarification on a copper pipe sticking out floorboards (22mm or 28mm cant remember) .
Moved into house couple of year ago and had a gas fire/back boiler removed and central heating put in with a new boiler put up in a cupboard up stairs.
Middle of decorating living room, so I stripped out some boxed off sections in the alcoves next to fireplace that have been housing copper pipes leading up through the house to loft where old tanks had been.
I have removed the copper pipes, but left with this pipe sticking out of floor. My initial thoughts that it must be a water pipe and was attached to some sort of water pump for the backboiler, (no idea how back boilers work to be honest).
Not sure why the guys never capped it off below in the first place, but does this cap look like something you would use on a Gas pipe?
I lifted up the floor boards since taking the pics and the pipe on other side of T joint(?) from what i can make out looks smaller in diameter goes through brick work leading to kitchen. Other pipe goes way back down full length of room, so definitive answer from that.
If I call someone out would they cap it off further down the pipe or at the T joint? Just so I know want work is involved, if need a gas safety guy out and not getting charged for 'having to use a left handed wrench to access it.'
Thanks
This really could have been asked in one paragraph.
