gas pipework installation

[glenno1]

can anybody tell me if its within regulations to install a 15mm gas pipe vertically up a wall across the top of a door frame and back down the other side,all in all the run is 16-17 meters including fittings.My only other option is to dig up the concrete floor which id rather no do.Thanks

 

[stevetheplumber]

running it in the manner you describe isnt a problem what may be a problem is what its running to and if the gas supply will be sufficent and you have to keep preasure drop within 1 mbwhich will be difficult on that length of run

 

[stevetheplumber]

sorry what is it feeding?

 

[glenno1]

it will be feeding a hob but cant put this in place till kitchen is fitted

i'm sorry, but anyone who has done their ACS would know the ins and outs of running a pipe on the surface,

Get the other plumber to read his books again.
As long as it is securely clipped and is of sufficient size, no problem.(although it does sound like a long run for 15mm but I can't be bothered to calculate it).

fair enough and best to ask , but it does seem like a very very basic CCN1 question, although sometimes when someone tells us we are wrong we just believe them, so apologies if i am rude

if the 16-17 metre run INCLUDES bends this will supply about 1m3/hr which will satisfy c10kw appliance

I hope that was not directed at me gaspastemania?
As I was the only one to reply apart from kirkgas, I take that as a direct dig against me?

The only reason I did not provide the correct rating, calc to the op, is that if he was a gsr engineer,(sorry glenno1) he should know this anyway.

I know I am new to the forum but I can assure you I do know my job.
Do you think because you have a higher post count, you must know more?

Look through my other posts and you will see I am here to help but if it is that type of forum why bother?

look again you wasnt the only person to reply apart from kirk as i had replied earlier sometimes things you type dont sound the same when read back its best not to be to touchy on here

 

[gaspastemania]

I was refering to gleno saying that 'another plumber said'
Which is why i was saying thats what does your head in , as far as i am aware posting on here is for advice and the names i mentioned on here i find are pretty much on the button , it doesnt mean that everyone else is rubbish !!!!

also i was stating my experience on reg basis when mention to some random down the merchants that installing gas this or that then suddenly they start spouting annoying crap!!!

 

[armourer]

In that case I apologies gaspastemania.
Crossed lines, I think .
And your right Steve sometimes it is difficult to get crossed lines in text.

Misunderstanding understood.

In my defense, I have been drinking.:hat:

Been on some other forums and they seem to be full of the "Bright blue snicker trouser wearing, lean on the counter at plumb center drinking bovril, 2 full systems in a day, know it all, been there, done that, got the t-shirt (which barely fits over me beer gut) arrogant, never wrong" tosser. When you've been on here a while, you'll find the majority of lads and lasses are more than generous with their expertise and opinions and sometimes it's easier to ask a basic question on here than go rooting through the van at arf 11 at night for the corgi book. No matter how experienced people think they are, the questions are only easy if you know the answer!
