Hi People
I have DIY Reach and Wash System (cold) but I am looking a hot system. Is there any companies in the UK which can supply these systems or just extra fixings.
Thanks
Michael
I have been looking into the possibility of supplying propane gas powered on demand hot water systems using tankless water heaters and have spoken to Calor gas themselves about rules and regs that apply.
It's OK to carry LPG fuels in a van but that's it. Plumbers etc can carry them from job to job but must then take the container OUT of the vehicle before it is connected to any appliance that it runs.
If it is to be connected to any appliance used inside a vehicle it MUST be housed in a totally sealed compartment with access to if from the OUTSIDE of the vehicle only. This means that you need to build a totally gastight enclosure within the vehicle to stop any leakage at all from getting into the inside of the vehicle. In practice this means having doors to the gas bottle compartment on the outside of the vehicle. You MUST NOT be able to get to the bottle from the inside.
E.G. caravans, motorhomes, mobile catering units either have housings outside to carry the bottles or doors that have to be opened from the outside to get to the bottle.. Also any installation would at the very least have to be inspected and signed off by a Corgi registered plumber.
I was investigating this as an option to add hot to systems at a good price but after getting the information re regulations I won't be offering it.
For those that have already fitted their own systems like these I would seriously urge you to check the legalities out yourselves.
What I have posted above is based on the results of my own research and therefore cannot be considered as definitive.
I really did like the idea but it's a no go for me as a suppler.
