Unnecessary work???
Doing a new kitchen myself, thought to be on the safe side, got a Corgi
registered company to sort the gas out. However, I think they may have done unnecessary work.. Thought I'd ask here to see what others think.. My existing gas point basically needed moving 1 metre, from 1 wall, to the corner of the same wall. I lifted the chipboard ready for the gas fitters arrival. On arrival however, he explained that a 13mm gas feed is insufficient for a double gas oven and 5 hob gas stove, and needed a 22mm feed, pointing to the underside of the combi-boiler, as an ideal spur. I kinda went with his recommendation. A couple of days back, they came back to do the work (I had to remove additional bits of the old kitchen to facilitate running the new pipe, hence the delay). To my suprise, they ran 22mm from the boiler halfway along the wall, then fitted a reducer down to 13mm, then another meter, did a 13mm spur for my hob, and the rest of the feed in 13mm. Crude pic he http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/viewP...90944950910994 How does this differ from the original setup of extending the original 13mm pipe installation? Surely the flow is restricted by the smalled pipe? So even the new setup is limited by the last run of 13mm pipe? I would have understood things, if they T'd off the 22 with 2x13mm spurs, but they did not... Have they created unnecessary work??? |
