Or sleeved in steel barrel.
Internal surface should be plated, can`t imagine someone hanging a picture on the outside of wall.
Common sense should probably be applied, if it`s run veritcally then you have a chance of puncturing it from bottom to top, run horizontally, work it out for yourself, think of all them crimbo cards you nail up, well my wife nails `em up

Sorry Mickyg, have I upset you in some way? Just trying to help, is all. I know that if he was fitting my gas I would be concerned.If any of advice is wrong or dangerous please I will apologise immediately, as for making rules up can you point out which one`s? I don`t believe I made them up.
you haven't upset me but some of your advice is incorrect and misleading. If you don't know keep it shut rather than making it up.
My only advice to the op is to get someone else in. Leaving leaks and walking away is dangerous and extremely worrying and shows a lack of respect for basic testing procedures when working on gas pipe. As for the pipe run without seeing it I will not comment. I'm sure a good competent RGI will find the best and safest routing.

That`s alright then, I`m sure if your home had exploded and wiped out your entire family, in court the Judge would have said: ``Never mind, you were busy!.... sh*it happens! off ya go ya little tinker, make sure you do the next one right, otherwise we`ll all be here again won`t we? ( pinching gas fitter`s cheeks and rubbing his hair).

Prove it, or apologise.
It's a recommendation that the pipe only be run vertically regardless of the construction materials used in the wall
I'd also be interested to see if this gas pipe is correctly earth bonded. I would strongly suspect that it is not.

Vertical recommendation is for new builds. When a pipe is buried in a wall in an existing building the chase should be of sufficient depth to provide a minimum cover between the top of the pipe and the finished wall surface. The maximum chase depth should be one sixth of the wall thickness for horizontal runs and one third for vertical runs.

To be fair as long as the pipework is sleeved through wall that looks o.k apart from the fact that it reduces to 15mm pipework almost immediately.
Is this the main run to all gas appliances or does it branch off other side first in 22mm? Or is that 22mm? need me glasses.

its 22mm and the down pipe feeds a gas cooker only.... the vertical cap will feed the boiler in the loft.....
I did earlier, I don't need to drag up your drivel to prove your incompetence, your doing it for me.
