Hot above the cold to reduce condensation to cold pipe, gas however best for you.

I'd run hot at top and gas at bottom. That way you shouldn't get condensation on them.

I think he means that a hot pipe would have an effect on the gas service if hot was below it.
My input here, would be that hot must be on top, followed by gas then cold.
The reason for this is mainly a legionella risk

Re: 3 pipe shuffle
