Plastic gas pipes indoors

[davidc]

I have had an extension done on my home for an indoor swimming pool. The builder has connected a yellow plastic gas pipe from where the gas meter is into the pump room for the pool.

The plastic pipe runs about 25m from the gas meter underground outside and then comes up through the floor in the middle of the pump room.

When the plumber form pool company came to install the boiler for the pool, he said that the plastic pipe inside is no good and must be copper but that we can use the plastic pipe that is underground outside up until one metre of the pool building.

The solution he says is to dig down outside to find the plastic pipe a metre from the pool building and join onto this a copper pipe that can then travel around the outside wall of the pool building and come through the wall to wherethe new boiler will be.

Does this sound correct? The only problem is that the ground is so cold at the moment and is covered in snow which means that the groundwork can't be done and this is delaying getting my pool up and running.

Is there another solution that is safe and legal that doesn't involve this groundwork?

Well you could knock the pool room wall down and move it a meter the other side of the gas pipe but think digging up pipe is better option as the engineer suggested

Then when you get the pool filled,first thing to do is drown the builder in it and put him in the hole you have had to dig, just before you fill it again....

after saying above,should think your self lucky the pool engineer did not request all the plastic pipe to be relayed if fitted without being inspected by compeant person and over filled any how
