Hi all. Do you guys do anything other than taping pipes when there running behind plaster board or in chases??
 
Metalised tape or similar to allow detection by customers/homeowners & try and not run pipes in daft places.

If individual person wanting work done then pictures with measurements/location of pipes in room where it is located behind the dot & dab holding the boards up.

At least that way if they accidentally drill/put nail through then you are blameless,

Hope this helps,

Thanks,

Andy
 
For copper I use stitched hair felt mostly. Taped sometimes and for gas.

Only use plastic for 10mm rad drops, this I use trace tape on nhbc builds.

Obviously keep pipes straight. Fully encase gas.

What is the recommended way to conceal a 1.5M, 40mm shower waste pipe? We have 30mm gap behind the plasterboard which will be renewed. Would you chase the block 10mm or go into the concrete floor? What are the safety concerns of doing either? Thanks.
