gas pipes next to heating pipes

[tibbar]

hi

i just had my boiler moved and the new pipe work to it runs about 5m under the floorboards, with the 22mm heating flow/return and gas pipe are right next to each other.

where the pipes come out through an interior wall, before disappearing back under the floor boards, i noticed the gas pipe is really warm from the heating pipes.

is this something to worry about? im not sure whether to call the plumber back in to take a look?

thanxs.

No! but what size is it

 

[tibbar]

the gas pipe is also 22mm

 

[doitall]

sounds a tad small

And the boiler make/model and total length of pipe and number of bends

 

[tibbar]

its a worcester combi r35 he plus.

so there's no danger of gas pipes getting too hot from the heating pipes?

i think the gas was 28mm up to where he connected the new pipework to it.

probably about 4 tees from that point to the boiler and about 4m pipe length.

obviously id
turn the gas off
run down the street shouting boom

oh and get behind something heavy (not the wife)

pleeeeeessssee

 

[tibbar]

seriously, should i call the plumber to ask?

or is it no danger? please don't make jokes about this kind of thing.

Boiler needs 3.27M³/hr so its close

Its quite safe

But if you want it exact measure total pipe, in each size plus bends and tees, plus appliances connected
