    15kw open vent boiler ecotech 415 (15kw)

    max lenght in 15mm, without bends or elbows is 6M. each elbow equivalent to 0.5metres each bend 0.3M.

    Its unfortunate that 'OLD SCHOOL' plumbers think they have the intellectual high ground because of their years served, which in most cases is probably justified, but sometimes ignorant. Its probably the same 'engineers' who moan about having to do ACS exams every 5 years.

    Theres an easy way of finding out how to size the gas pipe work, look in a frikin book. Saying that, Ive probably worked it out wrong.

    I agree. 6m equivalent length, is all that will carry enough gas for a 15Kw boiler.

    Since when has anyone seen a BG installation that is correct? I certainly haven't.
