Discuss Gas pipe routing in the Plumbing Jobs | The Job-board area at PlumbersForums.net
the gas pipe needs to be in a timber boxing/ channel filled with fibreglass with a protective plate over it imo. Like you would have seen on the T vale type jobs.
you need to consider that a leak would fill the surrounding area to which electric cables/ switches are present. a flick of the switch and any explosive mixture will go bang.
you also need to consider the sleeving of the flue system? nail clips are designed to hold in foam lol.
whats the timber for on the side wall? looks like a planned kitchen cupboard in front of the boiler, the boiler would be better on the side wall the gas run surface on the plasterboard and a boxing under the boiler between boiler cupboard and worktop.
what builder is it paul? who 1st fixed it?
Wouldn't you vent the cavity
How come it's not being installed behind kit cupboards?
Exactly that in the kitchen im moving in to an extension. Boiler has been moved from its original kitchen location to the garage and the gas pipe, a metre long from screed to height of original boiler is just flapping about behind the dot and dab. No clips no sheathing or denso and not dabbed over at all. If it leaked it would fill the void and there was no warning the pipe was even back there. any one could have puy a kitchen cupboard or shelf fixing through it easily.Nice work! The bending is a "finger kink" it's a joke how many 1990's houses do you find the gas pipe loose in dabbed wall and randomly routed. Woof woof
