Hello, Im new to this forum and have a query for you all.
Firstly, I am not G3 trained. I am fully aware of the legislation involved and have worked with G3 qualified plumbers on un-vented in the past. (Its on my list, as I'm currently doing my CCN1, etc)
Secondly, I am not installing any of the pipe work associated with the cylinders.
Now.
I have just been to look at a job that I'm being contracted onto to take over from another plumber who was binned off.
The building is a 3 story block of flats with a large open loft. There are 10 x flats within.
The plan is to install all x 10 direct unvented cylinders in the loft so to save space in each flat. (not my idea of worth while)
I was not sure what everyones thoughts are on this. I personally will be installing all of the bathrooms and installing all of the cold feed and hot out 22mm pipe runs up to the cylinders ready for who ever they get who is qualified to install the cylinders.
No obviously there is the PRV pipework to consider on each, I am assuming that it can all be ran internally to the SVP? I am aware building control may have to be involved in this.
Now this job is a partly completed project with a change of main contractor, so all of the planning and what not has been done I am the bottom rung on this one!
It just all seems a bit weird to me, but as its no my thing I don't know how it all works!
Thanks
Stuart.
