Hi guys, posting about this again because I want to be absolutely sure before I do it.
I’ve been supplied with a 22mm lever valve as my additional ECV.
Is this ok ?
If so I’d have copper going into it from the main ECV then coming out of it to the Annaconda, so what are the correct fittings to get from Annaconda to copper ?
Thanks

Hi mate, thanks for that, I have the 3/4-22mm already to go onto the existing ECV.
Are you saying the 3/4-3/4 you posted will go onto the lever valve and allow the anaconda to connect to the male end of it ?

the anaconda should unscrew from the reg

Or if you don’t want to do this a 3/4 male iron into the ana will do but normally there hard piped

Upto you and what the networks want you to do

Yeah I’ll be keeping the anaconda, so I could go copper out the AECV into this with the Anaconda connecting directly onto the 3/4 end ?

Hi Mate, bit of an issue with this, it’s not going to be practicable to come off the internal ECV ( although if I have to do it then I will )
I will attach a pic of the external meter box, the pipe coming out of the right side of this goes to the internal ECV, is this classed as installation pipework and can I alter it ?
Basically the internal ECV is too high and I want to cut the pipe and drop it a couple of feet.

Now do you need to alter that as that’s quite standard internal meter conversion

You can cut / alter the internal aecv no problem

Yes mate, as that comes through the wall it bends and rises up to the internal ECV so I’d then be bringing a pipe back down from it to the new lower meter position which makes no sense when the new meter position is kiteboarding or less where the pipe enters the house

Desolder the elbow or drill a new hole lower and adjust pipework outside ?
