What's with the 'eyes' fella, just cause you can't find your readers auld yin!!.........
Hey Dickie , you just stick with Tony.......some of your postings regarding gas are laughable too..
Oh it would be wonderful to be a right know-it-all like you steely!!!.......
While Tony may make some daft statements & posts, he's a likeable guy & his knowledge of electronics is second to none.
Now you naff off back into the combustion chamber pot, where the course Cowboys & career change chancers can hang on your every word......
You have a lot to learn gullible Dickie.
Every day is a Skool day mate, that's why I've always loved the trade. That's why it must be so boring for you when you know everything about everything?? You must be a bundle of laughs down the Pub??.........

Yup, there are still questions in the exams around lead as part of the foundation course as it's in the regs. The regs are prevalent throughout the course work and questions around materials come up in the exams prior to going on-site.
With imperial sizes, 'the name' is NOT the internal size; you buy a '3/4" pipe' at any merchant's and you will find it does NOT have an internal size of 0.75 inch.

Hi, do you happen to know where the smaller branch from the supply to the cooker goes? The original (can tell it's original as it was behind 1940s plasterboard) pipe goes from the meter up inside the hall/kitchen wall, comes out into the kitchen just below ceiling level (to avoid a steel beam in the top of the wall) then goes up into the ceiling/floor void, across the top of the kitchen and down inside the boxing in of the soil pipe to the cooker.
Where the pipe comes out in the kitchen, there is a smaller branch that goes straight back into the wall into the 'channel' of the I-section steel. Can't be feeding anything anymore as the only other gas appliance is the boiler which has its own supply.
Funny you say it's difficult to work on a BISF house as I've found it fairly easy as all the walls are stud walls or dry lined, so it's easier to put pipes and wiring in them. I've already rerouted the DHW and Ch, put in the condensate etc in the walls/loft etc.

Hi Ed.
The branch you speak of, it is possible for water heater in bathroom or somewhere in kitchen a special socket for portable gas powered heater washing tub or gas fridge in the old days.
In my area, we done upgrading heating system, replacing it on lot of BISF houses where all iron pipe is removed or capped and let in and new pipes is run for new boiler as iron pipes isn't suitabled for it.

The last time I bought that size medium screw & socket MI pipe at a Merchants, it was called 20mm.........
