Re: Gas and water pipes in ceilings 5Jun 27, 2016 6:04 pm The Plumbing Regulations 2008 state: “Drinking water that is not intentionally heated must be delivered at a temperature of less than 40 degrees Celsius”. This can be difficult to achieve at all times when insulated water pipes are attached to beams but the installation itself is not prohibited. A plumber needs to do it and if he thinks that it won't comply because of ambient heat issues if the roof for example does not have Sisalation or because of the climate, he won't do it. The other issue is the increased friction losses to end fixtures due to additional pipe lengths but this rarely broaches compliance because the regulations only require the end fixture to have a minimum 50 kPa pressure. 3in1 Supadiverta.
