Gas Pipe in PVC pipe

[Seanlude]

I am new to the forum. Trying to seek some advice on gas pipe being laid in concrete foundation.

If I put the copper gas pipe in a PVC pipe and then laid in the concrete foundation...can this method work.

No as if you have an escape it’s not good

There’s rules and regs for it

OP is in New York. What is it they have over there instead of Building Regulations? I think it's called a Building Code?

Well if he is then he know he needs to be licensed and insured and permits raised with the local establishments

Hi Shaun, I'm sensing a level of irritation in that reply and I'm not really sure why?

I thought it would be good to be able to point people in the right direction even when we cannot actually give advice and I don't think we can assume he will know the US rules just because he is an American. I just thought at least in the UK we'd be able to help by referring him to a Gas Safe installer which would be the acceptable procedure, but I didn't know what the New-York state equivalent procedure was for gas installations.

What you're saying then, if I follow you, is unless he's got his contractor's licence (license) for gas, he needs to find a licenced installer to carry out the work as he cannot DIY it even if he does follow his state's code? If he needs to use an approved contractor, I agree there's no point him knowing the code himself.

No no irritation just sounds like he’s trying to do it himself but yes they need to be licensed for gas and pull permits from there local office
