There is no way we can say what you need. Speak to the gas safe engineer who will be designing and installing it for advice

It's a 6m3/h meter Shaun will that cope with 18kw.... Is there any reason l can't use 35mm plastic yellow gas pipe after the meter under the ground. Thank you. Matt

Yes stnd domestic meter

The gas engineer can but it’s a bit more labour in installing it as it needs special fittings and practices to terminate above ground
