Dear all,
Long time lurker of these forums but first post for me as some advice needed on an upcoming job.
Details: One, 35 mm supply of gas already serves 3 storey detached building which used to be offices.
Plan is convert to 8 flats mix of 1/2 beds.
Landlord wants x8 combi's, 25kw units. No gas elsewhere as cookers will be electric.
Currently the supply is connected to a G10 meter.
Ok so where the advice would be appreciated is on how best to go about arranging the supplies.
Do we speak with the supplier, to remove the original meter, get them to extend the supply to a riser which would then feed each flat and then new meter for each flat?
OR
Ask supplier to fit x7 new gas supplies so in total x8 gas supplies from the mains outside to serve all x8 new flats so each unit has its own separate supply from outside.
OR
Change exisiting G10 meter to larger unit and then install secondary meters off the primary meter, so 1 primary meter and 8 secondary meters.
Your thoughts and advice would be greatly appreciated as the landlord is jut trying to whey up costs here dependant upon which methods will actually safely supply each flat with the gas required to operate the 25kw combi.
Cheers
Jay
