Question for a gas fitter
Discussion
I'm in the middle of fitting a new kitchen and with it, wanting to get the boiler replaced.
Now everything is out of the kitchen it appears the gas pipe coming from the meter is a steel pipe with an external diameter of about 1 inch. I assume this is 3/4 BSP.
Now I have had a few gas fitters around to quote and they are umming and arring about needing to fit a new 22mm pipe straight from the gas meter (which would be a right messy pain in the arse).
The existing boiler is 28 kW and I've not had an issue with it. The new boiler would be a 28 kW Worchester Bosch.
I thought the bore of 3/4 BSP steel pipe and 22mm copper was very similar so my thoughts were they should just be able to couple the 3/4 BSP to 22mm copper which would go up to the boiler or am I being simple?

Now the electrician has been today and cut a load of holes in the ceiling, I can more of less see the route of the pipe and count total length at 5.5 Meters with 7 elbows along the way. Do elbows count as 0.6 M? If so, the total pipe run is 9.7 Meters.
I will have no other appliances making use of gas.
