Can my mains water be higher than my combi?

[samjac]

Hi
I have searched the forum but cannot find an answer to this (probably) stupid question.
I have my combi boiler in an outbuilding on the opposite side of the room to the rising main.
I want to take the mains pipe over a doorway and then back down to feed the boiler (as the rising main is between two doorways at the moment).
Is this allowed, or does the mains pipe need to stay at a level below the boiler?
Please let me know if I have been too brief or need to provide any other details.
Thankyou!

So doing this won't cause a problem? Excellent

It'll be fine, but as it's in an outbuilding make sure it's well insulated to stop it freezing

you wouldn't get me doing carpentry if it was the last trade on earth.

Frost protected would be a good idea.

Thats no problem, there is already pipework out there which is all well insulated.

Thanks for all your help! Where the pipe goes around the door is it better to use elbows or bend the pipe, or doesn't it matter?

Doesn't matter although bends are easier to lag with thicker lagging.
