Clearance Between Electric and gas Supplies

[lmanning]

I am running a 45 Amp cooker supply under the floorboards. I am planning to run it parallel with the Gas pipe from the meter to the kitchen.

Is there any required clearance from gas pipework to any mains supply wiring? Anybody know?

As far as I am aware there are no electrical regulations regarding proximity to gas pipes, but I seem to remember a gas fitter who wouldn't / couldn't install his pipes within 300mm? of any electrical cables.

Always thought in this case no regs,but common sense prevails.....untill last week when i was informed 75mm was the magic number...by a course tutor!!

Doesn't that make bonding a bit tricky

think the green and yellow ones may be ok

I was told last week that electric cables couldn't be within 25 mm of a gas pipe. I think it is because gas fitters are so stupid they don't look before turning on the soldering torch

25mm doesn't seem much. Them plumbers can burn a cable from 15 yds away

25mm from any gas pipework is the answer.
