oil supply lines to AGA

[gkm24]

Can an oil supply line(10mm Plastic coated copper) be secured to the outside rear wall of my house? It needs to route to the KBB valve which is located under the decking before it goes into the kitchen to supply the AGA. I only ask as the rear of the house has a concrete patio which I am reticent to dig up. The wall in question has a Bell drip which would give the pipe some protection from knocks. Any constructive help greatly appreciated.

Yes sure.
Doesn't have to go underground.

Personally I would do it in 10mm coated copper.

Surface mounted is fine. Do you have access to the fire valve under the decking?

Yes, access to fire valve is good. Thanks for the replies.

Oil AGA needs Two KBB Valves Valve 1 rated at 65'c outside the building, capilary routed into the property with the phial over the top of the oil control box on the side of the cooker. Valve 2 rated at 90'c is fitted at the inlet to the oil control with the phial routed through the cooker and the phial in a clip at the bottom of the inner burner door

sadly few AGA's are installed correctly to the specification!!

Thanks for that very interesting reply. That is obviously very true as 2 of my neighbours have had AGA's fitted which they bought direct from AGA and neither has 2 KBB valves. Is this a newish regulation or has it always been in force. I will get another fitted to the oil control box.

As I recall the 2nd 90'c valve is usually supplied by AGA, so you should just need the 1st one as AGA will not install the oil line they expect a compliant oil supply to be availible at the final cooker position for them to connect to!
