Gas pipe routing

[stratplus]

Timber frame house, this is pic of gas pipe on first fix ready to board over:

worcester boiler with centre flue to be cored through timber stud (which is all that holds pattress) and a bunch of cables. I love it when people take the time to think about what they're doing :banghead:

How many of you would install the gas pipe like this?

Is the gas pipe sleeved? otherwise it cant be there as if there is a leak it will fill the cavity. I wouldnt want to fit a boiler to that I would have the timber fixed to both sides of the stud work

the gas pipe needs to be in a timber boxing/ channel filled with fibreglass with a protective plate over it imo. Like you would have seen on the T vale type jobs.

you need to consider that a leak would fill the surrounding area to which electric cables/ switches are present. a flick of the switch and any explosive mixture will go bang.

you also need to consider the sleeving of the flue system? nail clips are designed to hold in foam lol.

whats the timber for on the side wall? looks like a planned kitchen cupboard in front of the boiler, the boiler would be better on the side wall the gas run surface on the plasterboard and a boxing under the boiler between boiler cupboard and worktop.

what builder is it paul? who 1st fixed it?

Lol, I can't tell you that on here Adam. It certainly wasn't me but there are 18 houses, 17 are boarded and this was the last to be boarded so they have all been left like the pic.
Shocking, how do the nhbc not pick this stuff up?
