Gas Pipe buried in floor kitchen. Best practice?

[Ad_stoke]

Anyone recommend best practice to lay a gas pipe (15mm) in middle of a kitchen for cooker before the floor is layed with screed.
Customer is having a cooker in middle of kitchen and requires a cooker point. Thanks in advance.

Lay it clip it wrap it up to protect it and make sure there is a minimum covering of 25mm.

Plastic coated copper with no joints in the screed is best. I comes in reels. Or trac pipe.

Protect it with what? And also will elbows and complaints be ok with the screed layed in future as its a long run more than 3m so will need a coupling.. Will that be ok?

You can use denso tape all the pipework in the screed . All joints must be soldered not compression.

I know this sounds silly but if you use denso tape. . How are u supposed to clip the pipes before screed is layed.

 

[southcoastboile]

You can use sand before you wrap it

mines wrapped in denso, covered with sand then screeded over 25mm.
no clips as not necessary

Make sure you tightness test before you denso

 

[Ad_stoke]

Yeah I will do tightness test etc before I use the denso tape. So clipping the pipe is not necessary? I always been told u have to make sure pipes are adequately clipped etc. Anyone else done this on prev jobs? Thanks for all your replied guys.

just buy a roll of 15mm cu tube coated i plastic, no joints no worries as you just got 2 ends, hate denso, and you know thee wont be leaks unless you damage the pipe

 

[REDSAW]

i may think of steel capping bedded into screed if i were to do mine again!!

dont need clips as thats just 'securing' cased in screed does that!
