Can a gas line be used under a concrete slab?
You sure can – the pipe just has to be rated for burial and where it comes through the slab it has to have something that prevents the concrete from direct contact – a little piece of sill seal foam or even cardboard duct-taped around the pipe is used a lot. Now it seems everyone is using the stainless steel flex line for gas lines.
Is it good idea to put gas pipe in concrete?
Not a good idea to have gas pipe in the concrete if at all possible, the danger is movement shearing the pipe. Can it not be raised to suit the future new screed level without running in the concrete?? If it has to go into concrete then at least use malleable (type Z I think) 22mm underground copper and try to put it through a continuous sleeve.
