I'm trying to get my kitchen totally prepared before I call the RGI in to do the work needed. My cooker is still fed by a surface mounted lead gas pipe running down the wall behind the cooker (highly safe I know), I'm going to rip out the old kitchen, then refit another but totally update the kitchen, I want the gas pipe chased into the wall if its allowed/possible, I know it needs protecting in a sleeve, the problem is the wall the cooker is on is only a 4" brick party wall, I can chase in the legal amount of 1/3 max wall thickness, would it be possible to fit it in a steel 25mm sleeve using 15 mm copper, that way it's protected from both sides ,just in case the neighbour stuck a screw in from their side not knowing of the pipe, 15mm would be more gas than what it's gettin now, theres already a proper 22 mm feed in the ceiling that goes to the boiler on the opposite wall, there's not actually anything else being added to the system, just removing the old lead and replacing with copper instead, would 25 mm electrical conduit be suitable or is there a proper steel barrel as they call it be needed, would the copper still need denso tape around inside the steel sleeve, I'm trying to prepare everything for a one off visit from the installer, easily possible if I've done all the leg work, I don't want a new kitchen with surface mounted gas pipes, nor can it be fitted inside a boxing in a corner, just not possible in that kitchen.
Thanks if anybody has any good advice or a better solution
