Can anybody tell me if the latest (2015) edition of BS6891 has changed rules about boxing in gas pipes and venting requirements? Also is it still ok to run a gas pipe in joist space under a first floor - subject of course to adequate venting? I have had two different answers to this from Gas Safe installers.

Thanks.
 
Best bet would be to phone gas safe up and ask them
 
In regards to your question,

What were the 2 answers.?
Running pipes in void between floors is not required to be vented.
