I am ripping out a kitchen at the moment and rejigging some walls to make a big kitchen / diner.
The gas pipe goes under the floor from the meter under the stairs and pops up near the cooker point and then onto the boiler - about 4m of travel.
It will be much simpler to just drill through the wall lower down in the stairwell cupboard and have the gas pipe come along the wall and so be hidden behind the new kitchen units. I would set the pipe low down so you can see it behind the cabinet plinth.
Is this allowed or does the pipe have to go under the floor where there is a better air flow ?
