Hi,
I will retrofit a multi-utility connection in the basement as part of a major renovation.
Mainly because of relocating the electricity (already clarified), but the water pipe is now supposed to go through there as well.
Now the MSH is located below a horizontal DN100 drain pipe, and the water meter as well as the pressure reducer can only be installed above it (according to regulations, also 30cm above the floor).
After the pressure reducer, I am already successfully crimping with copper fittings from Viega (approved up to 16 bar).
But on the short distance of a few decimeters from the MSH (PE pipe) to the coupling at the water meter, I somehow don’t trust the press fittings in copper or PE.
Is my gut feeling deceiving me and should I crimp it in copper, or how would you execute the bend/jump around the DN100?
I will then install the meter, filter, and pressure reducer immediately after the jump in the riser. (My water supplier says that all meters also work vertically and therefore nothing special needs to be considered; side question 2: is that correct?)
Regards, David
