Yeh it says concrete then says pour screed. You can install in screed but not a monolithic concrete slab due to structural forces on pipe.

 

[Ermintrude]

Check your viper book or what ever training material you have regarding pipe work

 

[Atouchofgas]

Yes, if you read further down 8.4.2 etc it's say you have to protect it against movement in concrete.

There has been a lot discussion between regulators and Tracpipe over the years about this question. I think it came down to following Tracpipes installation instructions.

Are we not told to refer to MIs in any course!

What? It's one pipe? When u connect it up is it like a flue I.e you make internal connection then the external one ..... No .

Its classed as inter and outer. Except if you snag the yellow outer sleeve and then you should repair with the special tape.

 

[kozak1968]

Tracpipe will send a rep to site and show how to install.....

 

[Ermintrude]

Ok ??? So Yorkshire coated eliminates requirement to sleeve through a cavity? Awesome.

 

[Ermintrude]

Ok so track pipe installation instructions do not show track pipe in concrete

It's in the screed


Track pipe coating is not a secondary pipe or a sleeve but a protective layer,

Track pipes instructions require you to sleeve pipe.

Thanks. Track pipe rep probably come to site and tell you to read instructions before calling him?
