Default Gas pipe in wall.

Hi I'm fitting some new kitchen cupboards and there is a gas pip nearby. Its
buried in the wall


Generally do Gas Pipes run from the floor up, and in straight lines not
diagonally between two points.

Thanks
Darren

Even if they generally do, why risk damaging it based on the assumption
that yours actually does? Use a stud/cable/pipe detector ...

Yes, and no. I'v seen pipes running along walls up, down, with tees in
the middle, sets, bends and every other combination.
