Need to alter this gas pipe to run 28mm, what fittings can i use? picture.

Sorry i can't seem to alter the orientation of the photo. admin note: good job you learnt to shoot straight then 😉 RED:tounge_smile:

I need to tee off in 28mm and run along behind the gutter pipe you can see before going through in to the kitchen and connecting to the boiler. Where that lower pipe enters the property, that will be staying as it supplying other appliances so i'm hoping I can get some fittings and alter this pipe work accordingly.

Are there fittings I can get to make this happen? These are my instructions for the job, i have a feeling this hasn't been looked at.

Thanks

disconnect the the union at the top , cut the pipe going from the 2nd elbow to the 3rd with a grinder . then unscrew the pipe out of the bottom elbow and use a male copper to iron in that elbow and go back to the meter in copper

undo union on meter outlet, unscrew 3/4" fitting down to the bottom elbow, 3/4" male copper/iron in the elbow and pipe back to meter- put your tee somewhere in that new straight of coper

so if i come off the meter in 28, then use a 28 22 28 tee. 28mm to the kitchen then 22 down in to the elbow where i unscrewed the pipe??

pretty much, might find it hard to get a 28mm meter union off the shelf though. for some reason they're rare around here

I was thinking that about the union. Hopefully they have them in stock.

If not just use a 22 then up to 28 after

22 Union will be fine just up it to 28 straight after!
