have a plumber I know come today and he said he was more then happy for me to run the pipe and for him to connect it up, also 28 would be fine. thanks to the comments on here saying I shouldnt run it myself. what are you worried about that I might actually do a better job then what you would lol.

if your refering to british gas, already had them out and once again there only interested in starting it within a certain time frame. the route they was going to take has changed, and have gone for a more straight forward route.

once again, all i want to do i just run the pipe and not connect it. cant see no harm what im doing. all the gas fitters (a) cant be bothered to turn up on time and (b) only interested in quoting for a job if its to be done straight away. just trying to get some preperation work out of the way...

Can 28mm be used or will I shoot myself in the foot if its slightly oversized.

Another thing is I know someone who's got some 28mm trac pipe for sale as it was left over from a job and that's why im asking about size. Can I just use 28mm to cover myself , because at present haven't chose hob yet or boiler.

its a peice of cake to lay a pipe and clip it in place . just wasnt sure about the size it should be.

i prefer to install the pipe as i will take more time to be as careful as possible with it , special clips with rubber to protect the pipe and sleeve any holes in wall i pass through. cant see the harm by me putting the pipe in to save on cost.

the pipe would be either in the box section mentioned above which will be vented or be clipped to the wall and in the kitchen it will run behind the units. i have seen this stuff installed before some years back

in my house the floors are all made of concrete and the meter is in a cupboard next to the front door. what i have done is made a wide trough with a wooden lid from the meter cupboard to where my stairs start. my plan was to run it through the trough , and bring it up under my stairs and i can...

hi, im going to run a new gas pipe in from the metre to where my new boiler is going to go. the distance is in the range of 15m. there will also he a 5 burner hob connected to this supply as well. i was going to use trac pipe so i can put it in position for the plumber to connect up. do anyone...
