New gas supply - distance from U6 meter

[Masood]

Sorry guys, I have read all of your postsand have tried to digest all you have said.

What prompted my last post and what’s stillbugging me is that I realize now that the supply to the house from the gas mainin the street will actually be 60m.

The meter is half way along and I can’t doanything about SGN’s supply to it which is 32mm. It’s buried with all the otherservices and I’m sure that upgrading it now would cost SGN - or more likely me -thousands. So that isn’t going to happen.

With the benefit of hindsight, I’d have hadthe meter fitted nearer to the house as anz suggested, but the garage seemed theobvious place to put it at the time. I didn’t want a gas meter in the house or onein the ground outside.

So, for ermintrude and tamz, given thelength of the service pipe, do you still think that 32mm PE would suffice?

My worry is that if 32mm doesn’t work, SGNwill blame me when I would rather blame them for not providing an adequateservice!

Thanks again to all for the feedback

I understand that you don't want to make costly mistakes but you're trying to do a GSR's work for him/her, and second-guess trained professionals, without having the knowledge to do so. Get a GSR in who can do site-specific measurements and calculations and tell you what's what.

As stated, you are now trying to do the work of a gsr. we will not size this for you.

Get someone in.
