Hi all.
The wife and I have just bought our first place, and before we move in I have to do various jobs.
I'll be chasing out pipe runs as the place has no central heating. It also doesn't have any gas.
I really want a gas hob. So while I'm doing the mucky work, I'm going to run my gas line to the garden where I plan to site a small LPG tank (the type you take to get refilled).
Anyway, I'm only trained and qualified in NG, so I will get someone in (or might get my LPG ticket by the time I get round to it).
What I'm getting at is I want to do the pipe run now, and the kitchen will happen in a year or two, but I want the pipe run to be adequate. I know, LPG is delivered from the tanks at higher pressure than 21mb.
So do I work out my pipe size as for NG or is there a different equation?
I don't know wheter I'll go back garden or front. Back and it's about a 25M pipe run with about 3 elbows. Front and it's about 3M with the same.
I realise I'll have to change the jets for LPG and like I said this is a long time down the road. I just want to get the pipe first fixed while I'm tearing walls down and fitting the heating.
Wife thinks we should just have an electric hob, but I've always wanted a nice big Gas range, and eventually I'm going to get one!
