'Embedded' to me means locked solid in concrete or masonry. ie there could be differential stresses that could break the pipe or a joint, and cause water damage. That is sensible.

Embedded means when you cannot get to them afterwards without destruction of property (kinda thing). I could send you the regs, but it's late and I can't be arsed to write my version.

 

You'll not be turned by simple folk such as myself, so barrier it is.
