Hello , i have posted some questions on another forum and i have been given some very helpful information, but before i could get the exact informatioon i was looking for the thread went of subject. So hopefully you guys wont mind pointing me in the a bit in the right direction.
I am surface running some central heating pipework, i have been told that the best method would be to run the pipework on the skirting boards, which is wanted to do but for a couple of different reasons it is not possible. So then it was agreed that is would be fine run the pipework aboe the skirtings.
My problem now is the existing surface run pipework which i am teeing into is run 150mm up from the floor (flow pipe), do you think 150mm is to high to surface run central heating pipework?
As far as i can see i have got 3 options,
run the pipework at 150mm the existing pipework height,
or, replace the existing surface run central pipework and run all surface run pipework above the skirtings but below 150mm (existing height),
or, tee into the existing pipework at 150mm and then when the pipework runs in to the next room where the pipes can be run on the skirtings, drop the pipework down to the skirtings and run the rest of the suface run pipework (2 rooms) along the skirting.
Also i know that if the pipework looks a bit off then boxing in the pipework is a good idea (and i probally will be), but i am just concearned to wheather 150mm is too high for the pipework. You know i want the job to look as good as possible, and function properly.
Hope you can help, thanks .
