    Page 18 On-Site Guide. (for gas pipes, but the only thing I can find) Separation of at least 25mm to be provided for domestic pipework up to 35mm. For pipework over 35mm then 50mm separation is required. ...... To me that means normal central heating pipework (15mm or 22mm) is 25mm separation...
