Hi all, I live in a house that is 20 years old and I am trying to get to know it. How easy would it be to map out the pipe work in the house? It’s for my own interest more than anything else
Thank you
 
All pipework? Central heating pipework? water pipework? Waste pipework?
 
Hi there , all of it if possible - the stop tap is in the utility room for example so assume that’s the entry point into the house , it’s just trying to work out the rest of the downstairs from there , is there a method/ process to follow
 
worth doing. I did this and then replaced the pipe work and created what I call my hydronic centres (one upper floors and one for the lower floors. I can now individually isolate every radiator, tap and toilets, appliances from central place. also created cross over circuits for the continuous heaters and combi. Took ages mind..

The easiest method is to just try to follow the routes. Wouldn’t be too concerned with mapping as such.

And this is just 1 of them.....I have high pressure by design (2 cold water circuits, one at 8bar and another at 3 bar) Cold water priority feed to boilers. Pushfit was used because I live in the 21st and needed something that will not fail in a few years time. Bathrooms all have their own media servers, Ethernet and the ceilings have embedded audio exciter speakers...so the whole ceiling is a speaker. Individually addressed LED couples to the media server to create light shows if you are in the mood. The main lighting is also adaptive and reactive and works by voice activation, web server of just clapping)
The things you do when you have lots of time, money, knowledge.... and a very big house....

Sounds like fun.
