Working out pressure

[red-one]

Hi Guys,

I have just finished my NVQ2 and tec cert and am going onto level 3. Am trying to get ahead of the game and was wondering when fitting a new bathroom ie in a new loft conversion on a 3 storey building, how do know if the water pressure rom the existing boiler will be enough to power a new bathroom.

Any advice would be appreciated

Thanks

wouldn't that be to do with 1 bar pressure would acheive 9.81 metres?

Basically 1 bar = 10 metres.

But its never that easy in plumbing, for then you have got to work out and take off all the pipework resistance to get you into the loft from the boiler position.
