Chris all I came on this site for was to find out some information. I was aware that plastic pipe could be used however as you rightly state there was a bit that I didnt know i.e. soil stacks and punching through the drain etc. I didnt comeon here to be abused and accussed of working without the correct qualifications or competencies... i never hveand never will. I passed my gas 2 years ago and have only just registered because I did not feel ready. I did have intentions of carrying out some of the work i.e. digging the trench punching trough the drain and as I said earlieer I thought that I could join the pipe nd let my boss connect to the tundish if this is wrong so be it I wont do it there is no temptation to do work without the qualifications. it was for my own learning curve that I wanted to learn from this not and i reiterate not to complete the job without the appropriate training. Why should I get slated for wanting to learn and comming onto this forum to try to do so. I am planning to look into training tomorrow but dont install or service pressurised cylinders to warrant it. However this experience has highlighted the fact that as i do attend (but dont work on) communal discharge pipework and advise customers that there is a problem and that they need to get a G3 plumber out the benefits of doing it so as I can recognise risks may be worthwhile. With regards to my terminology re the air gap I can only apologise and should have said (the air gap) keeps breaking down, or something else i dont really know what but i did advise that an external expansion may resolve the issue. I was sent and didnt know what I was attending to I repressurised the cylinder which i thought i could do (as the customer can). I reported to my boss and came on here to learn something. With apologies if i offended.
