Tracpipe

[mutley racers]

I have an install coming up where I need to run a new gas carcass about 15metres. I need it to run along the floor at ground level and then it will need to go up the corner of a wall to the 1st floor of the building. It will be boxed in and so am wondering how tight are the bends you can pull with this stuff? As I need it to be as tight as possible to minimise the size of boxing required?

i see they do not sell elbows for this piping, so it must be pretty tight am thinking. I have been wanting to try this stuff for a while now and I can see my opportunity

Good thing with tracpipe is you can run it underground then practically to where you want it, Especially if it's being boxed in.

Just make sure the boxing is properly ventilated!

the duct will only be 150mmx50mm. A skirting board really so it does not require venting. Or is it best practice to vent any way? Also, in a horizontal duct, where would you put the vents if they were required?

Christ knows! lol

I may have had my commercial head on then but I think it would be good practice to vent all ductwork containing a gas pipe.

Never used Trac pipe. I'd be interested to hear how you got on with it.

from your description, Id just use copper if its along a floor and up a wall, cheaper!
