[moogwai]

hi guys....can you get a heavy duty pipe trunkin to run over an exterior pipe run? can't seem to find any...needs to be vandel proof to put my customers mind at rest.
cheers.

I assume it`s a copper pipe run can it not be changed to a steel pipe and shorten the clipping distances using steel pipe clips ?regards turnpin

whats it carrying? what else is it connected to?

 

[moogwai]

it was a pain in the arse to do it in copper let alone steel turpin!!!

why? steels easy

 

[moogwai]

the fella would still want it protected! just creating more work to change it to steel me thinks.

 

[kirkgas]

either run it in steel with extra clips, or box it in, steel would be my choice

 

[moogwai]

was thinking of adapting some square flow rain water pipe by cutting down the centre and around the pipeclips....should be a quick job with a jigsaw and then it'll just look like some rwp.

only other option I can think of is to visit local sheet metal work co and let them make it for you to your required specregards TURNPIN

dont know of any anymore....they all closed down and the blokes retrained as gas fitters!!!!

gee, whats up with 28mm copper? paint it and clip it with lots of brass sb clips and its fine. if not copper then id just do it in steel, however difficult. do you have mini dies?

using square down pipe will not really make it vandal proof as your client requiresregards turnpin

but i was thinkin if looks like a rwp they are not likely to rip it down and tat it in!

possibly but id prefer a well done job in copper or steel if pushed, up to the client really

sorry, didnt mean to question your workmanship, im sure its spot on. i was thinking more of the client, i suppose if its at high risk boxing in is probably the best option, the best material would be metal of somekind, could be timber i guess but will it do the job you need? needs to be well weathered as well, id put it on the client, good luck

You could cover it with steel trunking. Available in galvanised or stainless from most electrical merchants.

We used them for the new risers in tenements a few years back.

nice one tamz...i'll see if i can get some locally.

i think if you box it ,you have to put some vents at high level !!!!!

but might be wrong !

what about track pipe.

 

[PaulGas]

Yea i work on properties where the Rain Water Pipes/Waste pipes are boxed in with metal sheet boxing. Its the local metal workers that make it. Not too cheap though apparently and looks orrible!

 

[moogwai]

well i did it today chaps....with black squareflow rwp. I took my jigsaw down the length of the pipe (3m run) opened it up and wrapped it round the gas pipe(kept on getting me feckin fingers trapped in the rwp..ouch) and clipped it with 8 clips so it is sturdy and secure. Looks good,would never guess it was hiding a pipe! custard was well pleased. Top and bottom of pipe was left open for ventilation.
