gas pipe work in brick wall

[desrob]

how would you class pipe work buried in bonding vertically up a wall

 

[northcarr]

There is no problem with pipework buried in a wall like that as long as it is fully covered up as with dry lined walls(pipes should also be covered in closure tape to protect from corsion)

 

[kirkgas]

if its corroded its ID, if it isnt corroded it must "AT RISK" of corroding so it must be ??:yesnod:

but he said it was buried in bonding

not covered , i refused to pipe gas hob in unless they allowed me to trace pipework and alter so it came in front of wall,i'm just verifing i was correct in this course of action

yes if you have the same opinion as me you will always be right

 

[stevetheplumber]

surely its ok to bury pipework if its wrapped

i would cover the pipe with closure plate tape/duck tape whatever dry wall/plaster etc its covered with just for future reference as they could find out at a later date stuff is corrrosive

closure plate tape/ duct tape is not allowed its fibrous and breaks down,electrical pvc tape does not

 

[AWheating]

its fine if protected. There are a few different methods dependant on the type of wall/plaster used.

didnt no that gasman ,everyone round hear been using it for yrs duck tape that is i tend to use both or what i have on me van as some better than none if ye get me point but now no that i,ll stick to leccy tape

 

[AWheating]

a 50mm wide roll of insulation tape is alot cheaper than closure/duct tape so you will save money.

were do ye buy that from never seen it 50mm wide just the standard

 

[AWheating]

all plumbing merchants should sell it. just say you want a roll of yellow tape and they will likely know what you want.

i use them all mate and never seen it

 

[AWheating]

most my local merchants sell it, in yellow and grey (for lagging) i think you can get it from poofix also.

 

[sparra1100]

tar mate all have a look

 

[AWheating]

50mm x 33m for £1.21 on website (who fix)

corroded pipe work isnt ID is it, it would be if it was leaking? i wasnt taught that. ID applies only to a situation that is ID therefor Gas Leak or Fume Leak, a corroded pipe would be classed as AT RISK???

corroded (by my definition) is holed therefore leaking, my poor description given what we are talking about, as "signs of corrosion" but not leaking is AR as you rightfully said

 

[Blumper]

...according to the current unsafe situations procedure... : 5.9 'Pipework showing signs of corrosion or damage likely to affect safety' is classed as AR, (but pipework not suitably protected against corrosion but not showing any visible signs of corrosion/damage is NCS)

As for corrosion protection in bonding etc, pipe must be covered in "double thickness ptfe/insulating tape and should have a 50% overlap."
So standard thickness insulating tape becomes double thickness if you wrap it at 50% overlaps anyway..........imo...

I never put gas pipes in walls as bad practice imho
