15mm copper tubing.

I take it your not a competent person then!

Mick,

Bear in mind that you are legally responsible for the work that you do on the gas side if things if it goes wrong. And if they do, you will be standing before the fella with red robes and white wig who could give you a spell at her majesty's pleasure - presuming of course you survive the 'bang'.

If your post was a light hearted send-up - fair enough. If it WAS a serious question, then please seek some professional advice from a qualified gas fitter.

Oh! And to answer the question - no!

All the best

It can support (assuming the pipe came straight from the meter)

0.3 m^3/hr which is 38,600/3600 *0.3 = 3.2kW

If you don't what that means then get some in to do it in 15mm.

Surely the length of the pipe has to come into the calculation (flow rate for 1 mb end-end pressure drop)?

OP mentioned 15 metres

[Ed Sirett]

Which is the length I took and used to look up.

[Rob Morley]

I thought you probably did :-)

[Andy Wade]

And which I missed. Apologies.
