Hi guys, first post so please be nice, I'm currently installing a new kitchen and in the early stages of putting the electrics and plumbing in place before its plastered.
I have done everything else but I am unsure what the regs are on gas pipes(start my course on Monday), the consumer unit was professionally installed and has been earthed to the water and gas pipes.
The picture I've attached will sort of explain what I mean but basically I'm trying to chase a socket down to the void under the floorboards but there is a gas pipe going through my path, I've read different things that it has to be 25mm or 50mm away from the gas pipe but I'd rather ask to see if someone can clarify this for me.
The easy way out I was going to say put the socket under the gas pipe but it will mean I have to extend other appliances power leads.
any help will be massively appreciated.
thanks
Shaun
