gas cooker
My sister had just move into an upstairs flat. she has a gas cooker on the back wall, from the cooker runs a gas pipe 600mm from the floor. It then goes along 1meter then goes up the wall to the attic. Is there a certain distance the gas pipe should be from the cooker before it travels vertical up a wall. does it matter what wall the pipe runs down. Im asking cause the chap that had the flat was a diy bodge it man.

As long as the pipe is correctly sized for the appliance, it doesn't matter. Undersizing will "starve" the appliance and it will not work properly. This also matters if there are other gas using appliances. Some DIYers forget to check before adding another unit to the existing gas line.

do you know if ideal icos combi boilers have a pressure gauge. so you know what pressure your boiler is running at + what to top it up to.
