Running a gas pipe HORIZONTALLY in a dot and dab wall

[lame plumber]

I'd run it in lcs to prevent nail damage

Would you not have to vent the cavity so in the event of a gas escape there is a chance of it being detected?

 

[Riley]

That would've been my thinking IDChappy

 

[Killy Bing]

My understanding is with say boxing, you have to allow high and low ventilation to allow for leaks non detectible by the standard tightness test duration.

 

[Riley]

Agreed Billy had this exact situation the other day where there was a very gradual leak which was virtually non detectable but could easily have collected in the cavity but for a fortuitously placed vent.

The whole point of encasing it in the dab is so it isn't in a cavity is it not

not if its fully covered in dab

seen loads on site run horizontaly . I drop verticaly but not sure on the regs

 

[Ermintrude]

Bit like running t&e horizontally chimps do it all the time!

 

[stevetheplumber]

yes you can run horizontally has to be wrapped and fully encased in adehsive so there is no cavity to fill up my problem with this is will the dry liner actually do what his told to and its unlikkley youll still be around when its done so how do you sign it of
