Unrolling pipe

[V8Druid]

Now that will be a lottery there rentals so who cares

think I might've numbered the ends as they went in

That was my plan. Mate said we will sort it when live, person at each end with phone

Have you got the pipe yet @diggerjones ? You can get it in 150m rolls… save some joints!

you can special order 500m rolls as well ig you need them, pipe uncoiled look handy, is it a wagon hub based setup

That makes most sense to me if all that's required is to label the meters.

Yes I think so. Best £40 I've spent. Not sure what the solution would have been other wise.

Hate to guess the cost on so many connections…. A singular one cost me over 7k! Roadwork aspect being the biggest cost tbf

 

[diggerjones]

About £4k 300m-350m runs. With stop taps etc.

nooooo. Think is was 17k for 12 x 32mm connections. The 4k was for all the pipe and bits

think I'd create a chamber where all those joints are Dylan ..... no matter how well done up they are

It's in a field for grazing cattle. If there's leaks them one's will be the easy ones to fix. There's lots of fittings by the buildings 🫣

I cant believe on something like that the water board dont specify 1 big pipe. Seems crazy having them all individual for the full run.

That's simple. Those pipes are the supply owners responsibility. one big pipe would be the water boards.

Very true. Ive put 3 in at 40 or 50m before but when you go on the big newbuild sites they seem to run mains even up little cul de sacs and tap in individually

Yeah I originally thought there would be 1 larger pipe.

It will all become adopted though. Same as the sewers.

We stick a 1m off cut vertical at joints like this makes them easier to find and trace the line once back filled leave it sticking up 100mm or so dependent on field use

would think that would depend entirely on where the meters are sited
my old workshop had a meter in the road 400-ish yards, across the bus station in front of my site, from where it entered my building .... developed a leak after i became ill in 2010 and it was my problem from the meter on - so turned the water off - job sorted - paid the bill for what had leaked and then refused to pay any more water or sewage - nowt coming in, so nowt going out

God forbid you have a leak on 1 of the bottom pipes
