track pipe in concrete

[SafeGasInstall]

I have a job where I need to bring new gas and mains water supply ! And the only way of doing it is to run them in the floor .
Now do i run the track pipe and mdpe in the concrete below insulation and screed as I will be installing UFH ?


thx

Can you not put a duct in?

Or another idea, istead of using tracpipe use Gas MDPE for the run, will be much much cheaper

Gas plastic internally?

You cant use yellow mdpe inside a building. Its for external use only.

Shhh just noticed, yup no pe internally.

For some odd reson i thought this was going to an outbuilding.... Wtf

We done a whole block of flats with trac pipe under the screed mate, it's been fine for 8 years so far... pricey gear though especially for the bigger stuff(28mm+)

I ve run it under celotex and then had underfloor heating above then screed.

So it's ok to be in the concrete below insulation ! What about MDPE ?

 

[kozak1968]

I've also ran the water main under the celotex. But not in mdpe. Can't see a problem as long as the gas and water are apart. The main would need to be insulated.

for trac pipe - run it ontop of the concrete, band it down and cut and lay insulation on top for underfloor.

as for water main change to pipe in pipe speedfit style or maybe even make your own insulated pipe in pipe with some speedfit, ducting and lagging.

What did you use for water just some plastic pipe work like polyplumb ? What insulation did you use 12mm ?

 

[Ermintrude]

It's in celotex so just 22mm?

 

[SafeGasInstall]

So run them on top of the cement bace under the 100mm insulation and then ufh and screed ?

Cheers every one !
