[QUOTE="JonBoy1984, post: 485439, member: 31723"] I guess I should have started out by saying that I knew there was a problem with proximity. What I really want to know is what, if anything, needs to be done about it? How long ago was the requirement introduced? On the gas side it is very clear about the required distances but is it also clear on the electrical side? If so, where is it stated? Could a qualified electrician justify installing as it is on any basis (assuming the gas was where it is now when he did the install)? Does the cabling need to be in conduit (irrespective of the gas pipes)? My feeling is that I need to ask the seller to have the electrical side moved away from the gas. So I'm looking for some advice around that before I get a suitably qualified person to take a look and quote for the work. [/QUOTE]
