just curious on my gas pipe in kitchen, guy has chased the wall out and connected the pipe ready for plastering. am i right in thinking that the pipe needs protecting from the plaster with some type of conduit etc to prevent leaks?? advice please before i mention it to guy who is (gas safe registered)
chasing gas pipe into wall??

It would be good practice to shield it with a metal capping, but even that would not stop nails getting through to it.
If it is copper then it should be taped and marked it is gas.
I would always use plastic coated copper.

thanks for quick reply, hes just left it bare and i dont want to sound like im being too critical of his work. as long as its legal then everythings ok 
if its been left bare it might not have been tested yet
you tape etc AFTER the tightness test
