Good idea to protect exposed copper gas pipe around gas meter?

For protection when mowing or trimming, found these half locking conduits, available in 20mm, 25mm, and 32mm (inside diameter), UV protected (suggests suitable for outdoor).

Have not seen people wrap things around gas pipes, so not sure if not allowed or unnecessary.

Re: Good idea to protect exposed copper gas pipe around gas meter?

Hi @fix,

 

Thanks for the recommendation and for sharing the link. For something like encasing a gas line, it’s best to check with a licensed gas installer to ensure that any protection you add is compliant with regulations and safe. They can advise whether using a conduit like this around your copper gas pipe is allowed or necessary. 

 

Please let me know if you have any questions.
