Pipe Layout / Design

mikejjp

Can you solve my puzzle?
There are 3 pairs of pipes coming up into the lounge not far from the proposed fireplace.
Maybe one pair is for the UFH manifold, but what are the other 4 pipes for?
Any help appreciated!

No rad pipes or UFH pipes have been installed yet, as no screed has been laid.

Who put them in? They would now.

I'm afraid the installer is long gone

What size diameter are they? It's very hard to know to be honest. At this stage before the screed has gone in they could be used for what ever you want. If the boiler was going to be in the utility room they could be upstairs,down stairs and hot water cylinder.

Hi,
A suggestion that may/should help , a bit. Get someone to help you, while you blow down each pipe:eek:
Its works! ...and somewhere the other end of each pipe should be found/ identified.
Maybe you know a good bagpipe player LOL:D

A million thanks for the tips everyone
The pipes are 10mm diameter.
Site plan: https://sites.google.com/site/4occasionaluse/bungalowplan
The utility room is at one end of the house, where the bathrooms drains are already laid, but the 3 pairs of pipes emerge near the fireplace in the lounge at the far end from the utility. One guess is:
- one pair is for the UFH manifolds
- one pair is for a boiler in the lounge fireplace (maybe a backup to a bolier in the utility)
- the third pair still leaves me mystified -- I should have said the site is a bungalow, so no pipes to the first floor.

Any more ideas? Thanks in advance.

Are you sure there 10mm?

They couldn't be feeding an UFH manifold at that diameter or indeed a boiler stove.

Hi Johnnie, Looking carefully at my photo again, they could well be 15mm but no wider. I would have thought that even this wasn't enough for anything but rads. Even assuming they are for rads the layout doesn't make sense to me.

Your on your own my friend:). If they where put in for what you say the person who done it quite frankly hadn't a clue what they where doing.

If I ever find out what the crazy plumber was trying to do, I'll post
