    Worcester kebab gaskets

    I know there is a TB but I can’t seem to track it down. If you analyse around a WB kebab and detect a low number of PPM is it AR or ID?

    External condensate pipework.

    I can’t find anything in black and white for this. I usually go through the wall in 40mm waste and don’t insulate. Does 40mm now need to be insulated as well as 30mm?
