Gas pressure question

[Old Account]

What's the point of the forum if people can't come here and ask for advice!

The reason I disagreed with your post 33 is that it agreed with Chalked, who said in post 31 that I should use a GSR. I have already stated countless times that I will not touch the gas myself and will use a GSR!!!

I am trying to establish whether there is an alternative to running 20 feet of 22mm pipe on the outside of the house, across two doors, one window and through one gate. This was the only solution offered by the installer mentioned in post 13.

He was wrong. The solution is to find the 22-15 reducer, which I now know is on the inside of the house. I also know, thanks to the helpful people here (Shaun, Snowhead, GH77 & kop, etc), that I could stick with 15mm if the pressure drop does not exceed regs, or contradict the new boiler's pipe spec.

If you are really going to hire a fully gas qualified engineer then you could ask him directly as he will surely give you then an update on your questions.

I have (Friday) and he did. He said the only way to find the existing 22mm pipe run is to lift the floorboards on the 1st floor. Chipboard t&g (nailed down of course, just to make life easy).

Right wormwood your fine asking advice of course , anything we can help with is no problem but when asking about gas and pressures it does ring alarm bells as so many diyers out there , I know u worked or work on rigs and say u won't touch it but that doesn't prove anything as it's only words , everything your asking about should be spoken with your engineer , if you disagree with an engineers advice about upgrading pipe sizes then I can assure you that it's really common nowadays because of the gas consumption difference between older boilers and new condensers , as for members that are posting picks of test procedures , yes this thread should be closed me thinks , I agree with chalked and John,

Right wormwood..... if you disagree with an engineers advice about upgrading pipe sizes then I can assure you that it's really common nowadays because of the gas consumption difference between older boilers and new condensers ...

Right kris. I have not disagreed with an engineer's advice about pipe sizes. I have disagreed with first engineer's advice that the only option is to run the pipe on the outside of the house (post 37).

Fact: there are two options - inside and outside.

Inside is the advice given by the engineer on Friday and this is the route he will use. End of.

Btw, If I say I won't touch something - it means I won't touch something. Full stop.

I have asked admin for this thread to be closed.

The picture I posted doesn't tell you how to carry out a procedure, it does clarify that what the gsr said about pressures is correct, was used to reassure that the gsr does know what he's talking about ... the common theme on this thread is people continuously stating " use a gsr" and wormwood saying he will ... but yes now the thread should be closed before it all gets too heated

Exactly, well said GH77.

No need to get offensive mate , I've been quite polite to yourself, but saying you will or won't touch something doesn't give the go ahead to discuss matters which the forum rules clearly state not to, like I said wormwood were happy to advise but when u start getting into gas pressure testing or similar then it conversations you have with your engineer , I wish u good luck with your project ,

Right mate so post 11 doesn't explain anything, I never mentioned your name so don't presume I did thanks

Please look at the top if this page FLASHING IN RED appearing on the page now and again, we won't give advise related to gas , now we will try give advice even when bridging onto the gas topic but when it starts to get past threshold barrier then we all play by the rules,
