Hi,
That should cover it, apart from pointing out - as safety concious as you all seem to be, quite rightly - that I don't intend doing any gas plumbing.
The pipe crosses the living room floor in a channel at a depth of about 1-2", which has then been covered with concrete. It's clear that the concrete covering the pipe is cracked. I think it might be a good idea to first find out how it should be done and secondly, get it fixed.
A link to regulations would be great.
Is the appliance fitter obliged to either refuse to fit the appliance or correct this issue (at my cost) ?
Pipes buried under concrete need to be protected from direct contact to prevent corrosion and plastic covered pipe is normally used, or in some cases, the bare copper is covered with tape. Could I re-concrete that pipe myself?
Thanks in advance,
Mark.
