Discuss Water pipes buried under floor advice needed in the UK Plumbing Forum | Plumbing Advice area at PlumbersForums.net
Thank you. I'm shocked he doesn't know this, or perhaps doesn't care.If they are not wrapped in something airtight salts from the cement will reach the copper and corrode it. If he doesn’t understand this then stop him working. Even quality plastic pipe in conduit would be preferable.
I wouldn't be happy with bare copper laid directly on the slab , it needs to be pressure tested if there are soldered joints ? and be protected from unforseen damage before any floor insulation is fitted, there are better options in my opinion continuous plastic coated soft copper on a roll or Hep 2o in a conduit system would be better using a manifolded system you can avoid any joints under your floor slab . KopThanks very much for your advice. the pipes have been laid on sub floor like in the photo so will be a real pain to wrap tape around. What can I say to the plumber to get him to listen? He thinks it's fine. Is there anything in the regs?
Thanks for this. The plumber is gas safe registered which makes it even more concerning. We are going to get someone in the check it and rectify urgently before the screed goes down. Thanks everyone for all your advice.Very poor in all honesty it's not hard to make such a better job of the pipework it would be better run on top of the insulation wrapping in hairfelt by 50 % , gas pipework should not go under the damp proof membrane and insulation it needs to be above my go to product is Gastite pipe flexible stainless steel piping with a manufactured protective sleeve which can be buried in screed or sunk into the insulation prior to laying the screed .
