I have clients who live in a small cottage. Originally the kitchen was at the front of the house in one of the 2 rooms, the bathroom was upstairs at the back of the house and was fed by gravity hot and cold. At some time in the past a small extension was built at the back and the kitchen was moved in to this. The water supply for the kitchen was taken from the bathroom so the kitchen only has gravity hot and cold water. The owners would like the cold water to be changed to mains water. The simplest way would be to connect the rising main in the airing cupboard to the gravity cold and cap off the gravity cold from the tank. Besides the kitchen the gravity cold feeds bath and basin taps and toilet in the bathroom. The taps are low/high pressure taps and a high pressure restrictor can be fitted to the toilet inlet valve. The only problem is the loft hatch is so small I cannot get into the loft to cap the gravity cold there so it would be capped off where it comes through the ceiling, this would leave a short dead leg.
Can anybody see any problems with my plan?
