Having persuaded the boss that we won't be have a log fire/open fire, I told her that we could *potentially* have a gas fire installed at some point in the future. Hopefully she will see that we really don't need one once she gets used to the UFH. As a precaution, I would like to install one length of copper piping vertically up the lounge wall before it's hidden behind the plasterboard that I'll be putting up soon. I don't want the gas pipe on show nor do I want the wall to be cut in future to hide the pipework. The boiler would be up in the attic also, so the feed from the main (22mm?) supply pipe would only be 5-6m from the gas fire. Difficult to anticipate now what size gas fire we would have in future, so is it best to oversize the pipe? The wall itself would be 25mm battened, so I am thinking to just insert a 3m length of 22mm piping fixed to wall. This will protrude at the top in the attic and at floor level (gas fitter would just have to chop out a small section around the skirting board in future to connect to gas fire and obviously in the attic would have to make the connection to the main gas pipe. And yes, I realise that if we ever have a gas fire, all the fitting and remaining pipework would have to be done by a certified fitter. TIA
