I'm in the process of digging a trench in order to lay the services from the main house to a recently constructed workshop in the garden.
Workshop will have it's own combi boiler, so I'm going to be getting a corgi man in to extend the gas from my main gas meter, under the patio and to the new workshop.
Question I would like to know before getting too far along with this is what type of pipe will typically be used underground.
As far as I understand, most corgi installers will run 22mm copper along the side of the house, then down underground through a plastic duct.
Is there any reason why yellow polypipe (MDPE) could'nt be used - someone told be last year that for domestic installations (home side of the gas meter) that everything had to be rigid copper other than the cooker hose.
Cheers.
Steve
