Gas Pipe in wall?

[sparra1100]

if your gunner use your logic mate were he mite drill thro the wall or someone at a later date then what if shelves or a kitchen was fitted on the neigbours side you have holes everywere carnt really see the worry plus you have to get someone gsr anyway to sort the pipe

1/2" barrell with corrosion protection then made good into wall with no gaps, simples 😀

if wall is only 4inch thick i'd just bring the wall out enough to cover your pipe stud and board or dot and dab boarding, thus making your own cavity you can then mesh the back of the pipe if you are really wanting to protect from screws from other side

sorry to disagree Kay-Jay but if you do that you're then breaking Reg19 unless you then sleeve/duct the pipe and ventilate said enclosure

1/2" barrel sounds what I'm looking for shorticus, I could chase, chop of old and re-plaster the whole wall, that's not a problem if needed,the kitchen is small enough without losing anymore to dot and dab or even 2" x 1" batten then plasterboard ,anywhere I could find the in and outs on the barrel procedures,I reckon I'll get my mate to strip out the old lead mains then he can connect onto the boiler gas pipe come across the kitchen then drop down the same wall in 1/2" barrel where I'm concerned about the protection of the pipe, what's best form of corrosion protection on this stuff, it's in soft red brick that sucks up water like a tissue, just want to get all chases etc ready before I call him in

barrell's not really a diy job, your gas fitter should be capable of doing it for you if he's worth his salt, as for protection you can't beat denso tape although it's horrible stuff to work with and may stain through the new plaster

I don't intend doing it myself,I just want to get all the prep work done,Is there anyway of sealing the Denso tape at all, spraying with stainblock etc, covering it in bonding rather than sand and cement? I've got so much to do in that kitchen it's unbelievable, got a lath and plaster ceiling to come down, the whole kitchen wants at least a re-skim, total re-plastering at some parts, the idiots who built the bathroom extension on the back of the house got the floor levels wrong, the bathroom floor is actually about 40mm higher than the kitchen floor level,I've raise the lobby floor up to the correct level, just got to get the kitchen floor sorted now but there wasn't enough space to run the pipework under that screed, maximum depth about 45mm, it's even touch and go whether that will stay down properly, so while I'm making a mess I just want to get everything chopped out at once and cleaned away while I'm taking time off work, that way I won't upset the neighbours too much with constant banging everyday 🙂 even if it's not directly on the party wall, so much to do with Xmas fast approaching as well
