One and a quarter BSP pipework

Depends how much if you haven't got a bender I've used a wall and a lamp post before now

Some people might use a Landrover.

If I need a small bend on a pipe, I still call it a "skip kick". Because, when I was an apprentice, the old guy in the firm didn't know how to use the hydraulic bender. So we caught him using the loading eyes on a skip to put a small bend in a 6m length of inch and a quarter steel. Can still picture the poor guy hanging from it

Thanks!

I was wondering whether to change the pipe to 28mm copper? There isn't too much of the 1 1/4 steel pipe before it reduces down anyway. I think it is usual nowadays to even use 22mm pipe and reducing down to 15mm pipe for feeding a couple of radiators.
Any feedback would be very welcome. I really want to do the work myself as French plumbers are very difficult to pin down to come and do the job and are also very expensive - due to the French tax system!

Thanks

28 or 35mm will be fine

Thanks, I will use some 35mm up to branching off from the log burner and then some 28mm and then down to 22mm.

Why down to 22mm ?

Is this Gravity or pumped?

And to the O.P you may have to face the Guillotine if the French catch you avoiding their tax system.

They're going to loose enough free handouts from us (via the E.U) soon, so they need to hang on to everything they can get.
