I am planning on putting a concrete base down in my garage
Plan is to dig out and put 100mm of hardcore and 100mm concrete on top
The garage is not used for a car, its more of just a store room
The garage is also NOT accessible directly from the house
My central heating boiler is in the garage and its gas is fed by a 22mm pipe which as you can see from the pictures attached, exits my kitchen wall, drops downwards (see pipe to left of the air brick) into the ground, and then pops up approx 2m to the right before re-appearing and going off to the boiler
I seem to recall the depth of this pipe is approx 12" below ground and again, i seem to recall being told that the pipe is wrapped in Denso tape (see Denso.jpg)
Obviously i would rather not have to pay for the gas piping to be modified to have to be visible on my outside wall so my questions are :
Q1 - Is it ok to have a standard 22mm copper pipe wrapped in Denso below ground ?
Q2 - If yes, can i concrete over as described above ?
Q3 - Where the concrete meets the pipe, is there any other barrier or distance needed other than the thickness of the Denso tape, to stop the concrete reacting with the pipe ?
The red line on the photo is where i plan for the concrete base to come to
Can anyone advise please ?
Many thanks in advance
Is this Denso tape ???
