Hi-diddly-ho!
This forum sure is swell. In some other posts, I've read authors talk about laying pipe in concrete floors by channeling it out with an angle grinder and putting either plastic pipe or densotape coated copper pipe in the channel.
Golly, that could be a great solution to a problem Jesus has seen to test my way with: satan worshiping council builders cunningly hiding my unsightly walls with reams of copper central heating pipe. But, I have some questions I wondered if you could help with?
1. How far away from a wall must a chase be that it is running parallel to?
2. How do people put pipe in the ground without any joins? Doesn't it have to have at least a join when it exits the ground and if it wasn't in there already, when it enters the ground too?
3. Can you chase up from the bottom of a wall just like down from the top for a short distance to conceal a pipe? I'm guessing yes, but Maude would kill me if our home came tumbling down.
4. How deep do the pipe chases in the floor have to be?
5. I've read posts about Hep20, speedfit and copper. If this is possible to do without joins somehow like other posts say, then I don't see why copper would be any better than plastic for this, but I'm not a plumber after al! Which material would you use?
Thank you very much to those who help on here. You are top people people for sharing your wisdom like that.
