hi lads,

I hope you are all well.
I just wanted to double check with you am I allowed to install a new combination boiler and a couple of rads with a u16 meter and pipesize not bigger than 35mm ?

As far as I know I am allowed up to and including 35mm.

Below is the gas meter with 2 anacondas which has to be changed too.

Regards

Ron

What's the volume of the gas line and meter ?
 
The pipework Ron you need to work out your volume
I haven’t been there yet. They said it supplies 2/3 cooler hobs for kitchen, boiler upstairs.

It’s a small restaurant / kind of brasserie to eat.

Based on experience I know I would not need more than 28mm pipe size

It’s currently the same pipe size which has short runs
 
:D you need to work it out also how do you know the gas pipe is big enough already
 
Remember you can't go over 0.0035
 
It does get very confusing out there, a couple of times i have had to reassure a domestic ticket guy that he is OK to look at a boiler in a commercial setting. Even boiler manufacturers are stressing that their boiler can be installed and serviced on a domestic ticket, not mentioning the U65 meter and 50M of 3inch steel pipework,,,,
Its also confusing to me because i have installed a commercial boiler in a dwelling, i had to do it apparently because a domestic ticket holder could not install this commercial boiler, but i dont have a domestic ticket...... it left me a bit confused. I think when my renewal comes up i might just add the dom ticket so at least i am covered either way.
 
Shaun is right though, there are many circumstances that change the basics and one most important thing is your insurance.
If it is a Restaurant, I personally would look at it as a Commercial Job because of the use of the Building.
 
It did say k him to check his insurance as normally even if you can work on an appliance doctors/dentist/restaurants aren’t covered

Very true.
There are a lot of things you expect to be insured for but will find you are not if you read the small print.
I go through ours every year with a fine tooth comb.
 
I think it will come under commercial. It also wont be covered to standard public liability insurance. The moment you mention commercial works the prices get silly for insurance!!
