Max Distance of LPG Supply Pipe in House

[tiz]

What are the rules governing LPG Supply Pipes? How long can the distance be between the point at which the LPG Supply Pipe enters a building and the LPG Boiler?

Not goverend really, down to pipe sizing.

OK. In that case, are there any rules or guidelines for how you run the pipes through a building. For example, is it OK to run in ducting in the floor screed or embed pipes in walls? I am presuming that its best to surface mount...

Is there a more robust pipe (other than plastic coated copper)?

Trackpipe but you need a cert to use it ,apparently.


However I'm not sure if you can use it with LPG.

Looks as though you can,

And have not seen anywhere that says you have tobe seperately certificated for it

you don't need to be seperately qualified to use trac pipe. It is covered as part of your core training/assessment
