Hi, Would anyone kindly advise how they would route two 15mm water pipes (hot & cold tap water) in the following case? Below is a link to a sketch. I need to route the 2 pipes from (A) to (B) in the sketch.
I'm not sure how best to do it. I don't want to route the pipes up into the space above the ceiling, because that space is accessible from the flat above. I'd prefer them to go through the brick wall in the sketch and end up below the suspended floor somewhere. Routing the
2 new pipes parallel to, and just above, the 2 existing C/H pipes would be OK in the kitchen, but I'm not sure how to take the pipes through the wall... I could drill two 20mm holes through the wall, pointing downward at a steep angle, but the 2 existing central heating pipes will be in the way...Alternatively, I could take the pipes straight through the wall, horizontally, staying parallel with, and just above, the C/H pipes into the dining room, and let them continue that way for the entire length of the dining room, then down through the party wall between the dining room and the hall (passing through it at steep downward angle to end up in the space under the hall floor and then through to the space under the WC room floor. That would be the most practical and heat-retaining solution, but the idea of having 4 water pipes running along the wall above the skirting in the dining room seems very unsightly to me. The existing two are bad enough! It would also require a very long 20mm masonry bit (something I don't have)...
Thank you for any help/suggestions...
