The copper can be affected by alkalis from plaster, cement, etc, - the tape prevents the copper being in contact with these alkalis...as I said, it's not imperative in this case, but we don't know what's in/on the wall behind the battens. |

The usual method to comply with the 8.9.4(e) is to apply denso (yuk!) tape around the pipe where it comes through the p/board. Note that pipe is to be run in a purpose provided duct within the stud wall. -- Ed Sirett - Property maintainer and registered gas fitter.

The message
from Ed Sirett contains these words: Note that pipe is to be run in a purpose provided duct within the stud wall. Metal trunking, or a plasterboard box or what? -- Skipweasel Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain. |
