Hello,
I currently have a Worcester combi boiler installed in the kitchen. The gas piping is 22mm.
A GasSafe registered engineer came round to install a new gas cooker for me. However, he said that 22mm would not suffice and I would need to replace this with 28mm. Reason being that with 22mm, when I had both the cooker and the boiler on at the same time, the gas supply would not be constant (i.e. the gas supply to the cooker may cut out).
There is a pretty long run from the meter to the boiler. Underneath the floorboards of the living room, bedroom and then outside the house to the kitchen. So replacing the whole 22mm piping with 28mm is out of the question due to cost.
However, when I had my boiler serviced, the British Gas engineer told me that 22mm should be sufficient and you could just T-off the pipe in the kitchen supplying the boiler and use that to supply the cooker.
I have no other appliances in the flat using gas.
Any thoughts gratefully welcomed! Thank you.
