New build underground gas duct to meter box

[ruggers]

I've laid my 63mm underground yellow gas duct for a new build and i have it coming from horixontal underground with a sweeping bend up vertically to the hole under the built in external meter box.

 

The electric one has a red and white hockey stick to complete the transition between duct and meter box, but i cant see anything online for the same with gas.

 

Looking at completed wall boxes on neighbour’s houses they just have a white plastic conduit coming out the bottom of the gas meter box into the ground.

 

Does the gas company provide this?

 

Is there a coupling for the 63mm to stick?

 

Hoping to not have to dig down through comlacted type 1 to add a plast sweeping bend when the yellow duct already does this with the draw cord in.

Sorry not answering your question - but more or an observation.

 

Why are you installing gas on a new build? Install a heat pump and save your self a fortune in running costs. Add a battery/PV and save more.

 

Our new build was completed in 2021, with gas boiler. After a year or so fully optimising how it it ran, I added an ASHP specifically for cooling the floor. Operated a hybrid system. Realised, with standby charge for gas and the great cop from a heat pump, the boiler had to go. Since added more PV and battery and pay almost nothing for energy even in NE Scotland.  Gas it last century.

Yes, I think the current rule of thumb is to keep gas or oil if already in place but use ashp if all new.

That may change according to what happens re the Iran situation.

 

But putting in a gas pipe just in case makes some sense. Have you laid the yellow warning tape above it in the trench?

If in doubt, bring it through a 110mm pipe bend and close both off with plastic and sticky tape.
