Serious gas question this time.

[stani]

Gas meter u6
54 metres from the house
AECV at rear outside with no test point
possibly 1" iron from meter
range cooker and boiler should be 42 kw
gas rated and got 37 kw
rang GSR enough said.
what would you do?

 

[REDSAW]

54meters? why!!

what did you gas rate? the boiler, depends on actual output.

the range will be around 7kw

whats the standing pressure and regulator?

 

[stani]

Through a graveyard
28.7 kW
6 burner inc. 2 x 3.5kw wok burners 14.2 kW in total
Standing pressure at meter 23mb
No test point near property

 

[REDSAW]

did you factor in the dead legs on the pipe run.lol

 

[REDSAW]

er!
thats 42mm pipe or u16?

 

[stani]

Hahaha, didn't think of that at all

 

[stani]

I'll just tell them I've lost my manometer lol, and can't test anything.

 

[wattsie1987]

Simple working pressure at meter and inlet at boiler and cooker will tell you what you need to know. I expect that'll be loosing a lot more than 1mb!

 

[REDSAW]

probably 1mb at appliance.lol

 

[stani]

Back tomorrow will see what the pressures are, and take photos

 

[newcastle phill]

Outside scope of 1b ??

 

[REDSAW]

Outside scope of 1b ??

i recon so!

 

[AlexGas]

what would you do?

ID.

 

[stani]

Well, standing pressure 24mb, boiler MI's state working pressure to be 20-18mb I've got 16mb, run the range and this drops to 14mb on the boiler.

looks like it needs a new run and meter tbh or the meter bringing closer

 

[REDSAW]

I.D that, the pipes running through cavity unsleeved!!

 

[Chalked]

If meter can't be moved, why not dig up new run new mdpe ?

 

[stani]

It's a graveyard, there is absolutely no straight run,the 54 metres would finish up 100metres trying to go round all the graves, I've no idea which direction the iron that is already there goes in.

 

[Chalked]

What about moleing it?
It's not cheap, but, on a site I was on in York afew weeks ago they moled a 64 mm water and 50mm gas ( about 30m) this was yo go under a cobble street. They dug holes at each end and had the pipe in in a couple of hours.

 

[stani]

Can you imagine the mole popping out of the hole accompanied by bits of arm, leg, skulls or someone needs to dig up or open an existing grave and my brand new 42mm goes straight through the rib cage.

Its only going to provide about 2 metres cubed/hour on this run with a 1 mbar working pressure drop from end to end. Hang the boiler on a head stone or put a bigger pipe in.

I hear people are dying to get in there
