April 20, 20224 yr Heating pipes are under shower waste pipe, and slightly touching, can this be future problem
April 20, 20224 yr No, the waste pipe will be rated the same or higher than the water pipes, the solvent weld stuff I bought was 90° constant and 115° temporary. Think that you could have a hot shower from water pipes made of the same stuff as the heating, draining down the waste, essentially the temps are the same after a while. Or a dishwasher or washing machine emptying from a 90° wash. I often give my kitchen sink a kettle or two of boiling water when I think fat may have been spilled. Don't panic! If it was wiring, I would maybe start to sit up. Edited April 20, 20224 yr by Carrerahill
April 20, 20224 yr ..and is that pipe insulation providing some separation? If so, and of a thickness that'd prevent you been scalded if you put your hand on it then the heat transfer is relatively insignificant. Edited April 20, 20224 yr by MJNewton
