Gas pipe in back garden for gas cookers
Anonymous user 23/02/2024 - 2.45 PM
Hi, My builders have dug a trench to fit a gas pipe to my back garden so that I could install a 38kw gas cooker. I also have a 30kw gas boiler. The gas cooker is around 40 m away from the gas meter; the boiler 6m from the meter. That seems border line in term of max power (64kw ?) also the 28mm pipe seems on the low side . What are the risks knowing that I will not use all the burners at the same time (around 20kw) ? How much of tolerance does the regulation accounts for : are we over stating the sizes to be on the safe side or are the norms the absolute minimum ? In other words would you have the pipe changed to a bigger one or can I live ( accident free) with what I have ? Many thanks Raphael
