Gas pipe goes from one room to another

[Sandeep89]

Hi Guys,

Had a question about gas pipes in a HMO. The gas meter is flat 1 however the gas pipe for this runs through the 2nd flat to feed the 3rd flat. The 1st and 2nd flat has its own gas meter inside.

What I wanted to ask was is this allowed in terms of regs were the gas pipe goes from flat 1 via flat 2 into flat 3. The pipe also is not protected in a fireproof duct when running via the 2nd flat.

Thanks

Is this a new installation or something existing?

It is an existing installation done many years ago.

Is it sub meters or own supply ?

Own supply.

1 meter is outside which supplies gas to flat 1&3.
Flat 2 has its own meter inside the property.

As for flat 3 I would recommend rerouting or ducting it
