Default constructional hearth

I'm recreating the original constructional hearth ready for new fireplace
and hearth.
The last brick course of the CH is a joist depth below floor height. I
intend to form the dims of the new superimposed hearth (smaller than CH) and
ballast and concrete to floor level (or how much below?)

How thick should the concrete be? Don't want to make thicker than it need be
1" or 2"?

Any other advice?

TIA

And while I'm about it, how do I get the gas from under the (suspended)
floor to the back of the hearth for an inset living flame whilst keeping it
hidden from view?
Knock a brick corner of the side of the builders opening or fabricate a void
in the constructional hearth when I pour the concrete?

And is this to be copper or is it common to do some flexi something?

Yes Corgi registered fitter will do final connection.

TIA
