Plumbing runs: our services diagram

[ToughButterCup]

Our services design shows plumbing runs in screed of the ground floor. A big bit of me wants to avoid that. There seems to me to be no good reason to run plumbing where I cannot access it easily and quickly.

 

What have I missed? It seems too simple to just shove it in the ceiling space.

Is it ducted..? If so, you can remove it but tbh if you have posi-joists its easier in the ceilings.

[ToughButterCup]

Thought so, thanks.

In the screed, rather than below the screed? What is the screed depth?

[Nickfromwales]

In screed makes no sense. Cold water won't be cold . Don't forget to lag the cold feeds too to stave off any heat absorption .

Be very careful that the cold kitchen tap feed remains cold. We once had a tap with the supply running through the floor screed and it was repeatedly unpleasant to be caught out by a glass of warm water when expecting cold.

Right: got it: it's going in the wall. Now, where's that router?

When you find it, keep your fingers tucked in .

With just 8 of them left (equally distributed over their 2 containers) I 

have 2 in 10 fewer chances of digitectomy than almost anyone else. 

Now I must stir my stumps and get back to work.
