Routing new 28mm gas pipe in channel in concrete floor

[Rover825]

Hi. Need to run a new section of 28mm gas pipe (no joints as less than 3m) across the concrete kitchen floor. Thinking of using 2"x2" galvanised electrical trunking set in a 3" deep channel, the pipe then packed in sand and the lid put on then channel concreted in. Would this be acceptable? Not intending to make any connections myself, just want to get the donkey work done. Thanks

You need to discuss this with your registered gas installer. The pipe will need to be tested before any protective coatings are applied. No reason you can't cut the channel though.

What about a plastic waste pipe set in concrete if its a straight run?

It's better go by the book.

you can get speedfit in 28MM

honestly id run it in steel, wrapped for protection, hire a hydrolic bender to avoid any joints. no channel needed.

Trac pipe, pined to concrete over site, then screed over. No pipes actually in the concrete itself.

The best bet is to check with the GSR person who will installing & connecting to the pipework before you go doing anything!!!!!!

Sound like a reasonable way of doing it to me, best to check with the installer though.
