Hi
I am laying a new underground heating oil pipe ( 10mm Qual-Oil plastic pipe ). All the connections will be made by an OFTEC Engineer and he will then commission the complete system.
I am trying to lay the pipe as level as I can to avoid any air locks due to a high point.
Our garden is running on quite a slope and so it is difficult to keep the pipe level.
I plan to install the pipe so that it runs away from the house towards the oil tank. The oil tank will be elevated so that the base of the tank is located above the burner in the boiler.
This will ensure that there will always be a static head of pressure at the oil burner.
The pipe will therefore be on an incline and not level, however there will not be any high points.
Will this be okay ?
