Blanking off gas pipe
Refurbishing my kitchen, I have found a capped off gas pipe protruding from
the wall about 2½ inches, just where I want to put the washing machine. The pipe is buried in the wall. I am hoping if I cut into the wall I will find an elbow, and will be able to unscrew it and fit a blanking plug. Does this sound feasible? I should have said, the pipe is iron. (House built 1960's).TIA |
