I am NOT a registered gas fitter and I will NOT be touching anything to do with the pipe work.
The gas man has cut off my gas fire because he has detected a leak in the 60 year old pipe buried in the concrete floor of the lounge. He said that he would approve a new pipe that could go up the wall, under the floor-boards in the bedroom and down the lounge wall.
At this stage I am mainly looking at planning the route and the boxing of any exposed pipe work. I want to make the boxing as inconspicuous as possible.
What size pipe would be used for the supply to the fire?
Can it be run touching the wall or must it be on stand-off clips?
Are there regulations regarding distance between clips?
There may be more questions later but any help and suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Mike
