At present, the gas fire isolation valve is above the floorboards and

flush on it.
I will be fitting laminate flooring soon and this will raise the floor a
half inch.
Should I cut a spacer to sit the valve on (out of MDF) to retain the

secure
fitting?

Will the gas fire fitter need to diconnect the valve under the

floorboards
to accommodate this half inch change in height?


There will usually be enough play in the pipework to be able to move it.
Can you pull up on it if you pull gently (10Kg).


About an inch...Thanks.
With that much movement, I think I could/should tack a 12mm thick mdf washer
to the board and then make us of the screws in the flange.


I probably would.
