jayc89 Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Our meter is on the NE corner of the house, from there we have a copper pipe running west, entering the north wall for the GCH and continuing around to the west wall for the gas hob. It's a bit of an eye-sore and I'm constantly worried the kids will end up knocking the pipe with their bikes etc. as they're coming/going. Would it be possible to re-route the supply, from the meter, underground, entering the house where required, through the slab. If it's possible, I assume we'd use perforated ducting and yellow MDPE? There are no other services, that I know of, in this area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HughF Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 mdpe is approved only for use outside the property - you need tracpipe. It's expensive... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDPE outside, converted to tracpipe before it goes through the foundations and up through the slab? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And depending on which regs you read, you might need to put the tracpipe in yellow ducting 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
