Steel gas pipe question

[jamesc76]

OK nob head here has measured the pipe diameters
we have 6mm copper and 8mm steel

I would imagine the copper would be the bendable type

but joining the two now gets more interesting
sorry Lloydy

is it 6mm or 1/4! sure all the older lpg gas stuff is 1/4 which you defo can a 1/4 to 8mm from caravan shops as used one in my old interior!

I didnt think compression joints were allowed on gas, unless on the appliance???

Calor Gas stipulate that only compression joints are used - no soldered ones.

Right, I know that in campers it has to be compression, I thought this was for his house!!!!!!!!

OK thanks mate.

one more question.
the copper will have to be bent quite severely 'S' shaped to meet the steel.
What would you do as access is quite restricted?

just use a copper pipe bender for the above bends . simple .
