Central Heating
Detailed recommendations are given in BS6798, BS5449, BS6700 and CP342 Part 2. Pipework not forming part of
the useful heating surface should be insulated to prevent any heat losses or possible freezing (i.e. in roof spaces
or ventilated underfl oor spaces). Drain taps should be positioned at the lowest point of the system in accessible
locations to permit the whole system to be drained down. The drain taps should be in accordance with
BS2879. Copper tubing to BS2871, Part 1 is recommended for water carrying pipework.
horizontal runs should have a gradient where possible to facilitate the removal of air.
