Hi,
I plan on running a hot and cold supply to a very small hand basin and toilet cistern (no hot to the toilet mind) and the only neat short way to do it involves about 3m burried in a wall with two 90 degree bends in it.
There has been an old lead pipe doing this job for the last hundred years or so but hasnt been working in my time in the house.
My plan was to run 10mm microbore copper in a suitable pipe conduit (lime)plastered into the wall for some of its run and behind tiles and tileboard for the rest (where is passes through main bathroom).
Will 3m of 10mm microbore kill the flow to a ridiculous degree?
Is this plan even OK? I can always claim that the pipe is a replacement for the lead rather than a "new" installation if it makes a difference.
Thanks
George
