15mm Gas supply

[sgw869]

Hello
I live in Spain and at last we are have gas piped to our urbanization
Question is from the underground supply the installer has run 15mm copper supply pipe
The pipe work has approx 12 soldered bends and the run is approx 10-12 metres
This pipe is supposed to feed four properties
When the pipe reached the central point of the four properties it splits four ways and I can only assume that is where the meters will go.
I am contemplating a 24kw combi boiler, my question is will the 15mm supply pipe be adequate to run one boiler, let alone four in total
Also there is the gas ovens and hobs to add to the equation
I can supply photographs if this would help
Best regards
Sgw

Have no idea on regs in Spain but in uk this wouldn't be any good

 

[stevetheplumber]

it depends what preasure they supply the gas at as to the pipe size im sure there was some one on here who has worked in spain

Depends on the pressure. It is usually higher on the inlet to the meter and governed down to working pressure from there.
Best speaking to the guys doing the work.

Is Latin gas more headstrong to it can get the bends quicker

Sounds like you need to get in the pro's, bet the gsr doesnt cover Spain lol

It's probably LPG and they may install regulators at he property.

Aint got the slightest. Never heard of it 15mm feed upstream to feed four meters and then more appliances I'm loast.

I'll put my money on it being from a comunal lpg bulk store, supply from it medium pressure to the meters and goveners to knock it back down to low pressure.

will have to be a flipping big bulk store for the vapour take off rate to be high enough though?

Going back to the original post.

If I lived in Spain I would have solar thermal, with electrical back up ?

Why a combi ?

The suppliers will be supplying gas for cooking/gas fire only ?

Different regs I am sure.

Bearing in mind the country is nearly bankrupt I doubt they are forward planning too much !

Hola To you all
Firstly many thanks for all the replies
In Spain at last in our area the supply is going to be piped natural gas
What Tamz has posted..the supply pressure is usually higher to the meter....
Hopefully this will be sufficient and the answer i was hoping for
Combi is my choice 24kw to serve 7 Rads
The Spanish are installing the gas supply...No other choice...
I will then get English engineers to do the rest
I have posted a few photos of the 15mm gas pipe and manifold installation
I would like your views on them
Many thanks
Sgw

What's all the damage to the popes in the first pic? Corrosion, burnt?
