Im fitting a kitchen with a gas range cooker in an island unit. The floor is concrete. What is the correct way to get a gas supply to the cooker. Im not doing the gas work myself.

I just want to prep the job. Its no problem digging a channel for the pipe but does it get cemented over or does it have to run in conduit?
Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

Hi
The gas pipe will need to be in a purpose made duct, ideally accessible for possible future problems.
Hope this helps.

Hi.
Your installer can use trac pipe which can be taken from copper gas pipework with an isolation,this can be screeded into the concrete, or copper pipework must be in a duct chased into the floor. Duct is a metal boxing sunk into floor,to not be in contact with the concrete. The pipe must be sized correctly also! A gas safe installer will advise you correctly.

There are two ways to get the pipe from meter to cooker:
1) The first method is to clip the pipe to the wall (this method is less expensive, but the pipe will be visible; however, if this is not a concern, this approach is excellent!)
2) The second method is to use Denso tape to take the pipe underneath the concrete (this process can be a bit pricey due to the removal of the concrete, but it is highly efficient; if the first choice didn't sound good, then this is the alternative to go with!)
