Discuss Gas Pipe exiting from side of meter box in the Plumbing Jobs | The Job-board area at PlumbersForums.net
Any pictures?Didn't even know there were different types. It's just a standard one as far as I'm aware. I've been told it was OK so long as the exit was sealed.
Funnily enough I was aware of that, perhaps my post prior to yours wasn't clear. That's the current install, but working out the pressure drops I feel that the supply needs to be upgraded and it would be a lot easier to exit through the side of the housing.Thatās the bottom mate. Not the side.
Bet itās notchedHow will you take the box off if there is a pipe through it
@ShaunCorbs answered them straight away mate.All very interesting. But not answering the OPs question.
Depends on the meter box if there's a pre knock out and manufacturers allow it then yes
I was going to cut it to the back and then make up a plate to cover the slotHow will you take the box off if there is a pipe through it
28 won't do it in this case. Well not by my calculations. Trouble is the property is an extended bungalow with the meter at one end, one boiler at the other end and another boiler and a cooker in the middleUpdated a few like that and always run the 28mm the same way as its running now no need to notch the box

I could have sworn we had a problem given to us in college where we were shown that we could make it work by increasing the pipe size further down the run but I've since been told that you have to come off the meter in the largest size pipe that you're going to use. I'm not sure there's enough room to jump it up to 35 and get it round the corner, hence wanting to come out the side.
True I was just trying to keep costs as low as possible as the customer is familyyou can get 35mm elbows

2 extra elbows?True I was just trying to keep costs as low as possible as the customer is family
It's not just the elbows though is it, it's another three elbows a meter connector and at least a meter of pipe. about Ā£30 worth2 extra elbows?
No doubt someone else will quote chesper and just connect onto what's there.

BES was the cheapest I could find, that 35mm pipe 'aint cheap is it
Ā£40 with the VAT unless you can point me in the direction of a cheaper sourceAround 30 for a length
I tried Wolseley and they got no where close (Ā£53 a length for the 35 iirc and I don't think that was with the VAT)....check these prices.. I swear they don't want my business for some reasonYour local merchants eg city's plumbs etc
Trade cash account, perhaps it's the fact that I don't have a credit account with them, perhaps it's because I don't put enough business their way, but when I'm getting better prices from toolzone and screwfix that's not easy to do.Because your retail mate
Thanks for the link, best price I've seenIs this any use to you JLS 35mm Copper Elbow by JTM Endfeed
