running new gas carcass.

[mutley racers]

So, I need to run a new gas pipe around the side of a house to a new boiler. The old pipe goes under the ground all the way to the back of the house to boiler and oven. Is it okay to disconnect the boiler from this (as running new 28mm supply at side of house) and leave the oven on it? Or is it best practice to disconnect this pipe all together? The reason I ask is because the boiler is a 10 metre run around the house and then the cooker would have to go up and over a few widows and doors and a fair few metres to get to the cooker. A lot of hassle

Only real restriction would be IV.

That's what I thought

Mutley smokes the crack pipe so he's well clear of intravenous

Those days are behind me sir

Plastic ? Mdpe - fine as long as external and protected from uv and change to iron and entry. Should be buried and come out if ground in iron

As long as the existing is gas tight and in good condition, I would leave it in. IV should not be an issue on the pipe run you have described.

Calculated the volume earlier and it's fine. Is it alright to run the gas pipe on the external wall of a house which has a shared path? I think it shouldn't be a problem. Also, what about leaving a flue a little longer where it is close to the corner of an external chimney breast? I have seen a few like these but what do you guys think? It is similar to having It extend past the soffit and guttering I guess

Is there any car traffic next to the pipe? Cos, above ground external pipework shall be protected against the risk of mechanical damage.

If it is a private shared path, it will probably be OK with the normal precautions. If it is public, either run it at high level or run it in steel.

No chaps no traffic. Just a shared private path to walk to a couple of sheds

Bins with wheels cause lots of damage round our way
