Thanks that is the picture I saw in the book. Never know about the need for a backing batten till saw that. I thought it was just a batten either side. Looks like I have a lot of reading to do I start the course in October.

Suppose a wooden batten behind the pipe will keep the space around the pipe to a minimum. Is the what you meant Dan when you said the pipe is not fully encased across its length?

As shown here. I haven't got my gas yet am starting the course in September. But the gas safe engineer on our new build site is on hols for 2 weeks at the moment.

Are you saying as well as a batten either side of the pipe it needs a wooden backing batten behind the pipe also?

Do you not agree?

There's a batten on the left, the gas pipe. Another batten after this. Then you have the rest of the void with the socket in.

It has a batten either side of the pipe through out its length. The same as your diagram.

Is sectioned off between two battens?

Is this installation ok?

Is this acceptable?

The gas pipe on the left is 5 inches from the socket. I know this should be 6 inches away min. But is it ok as there is a batten inbetween I.e an insulating material?

There is a socket in the stud wall about 10inch away, however I have but a batten in to block this off. Is this still acceptable?
