Yes it can be. You will need a gas safe engineer to do the work. There maybe other routes too the pipe can be run

Paul · Answer

Yes it can be buried in the wall  wrapped in gas tape or similar tape

Terry · Answer

Yes it can be, but would probably be best to reroute pipe rather than channel into the wall. Hope this helps.

Geoffrey · Answer

Yes, gas pipes can be buried in walls, but there are specific regulations and safety measures that need to be followed. Here are some key points to consider:
1.	Protection Against Corrosion: The gas pipe must be protected against corrosion. This can be done by wrapping the pipe in a protective material or using a corrosion-resistant pipe.
2.	No Compression Fittings: Compression fittings should not be used in places where they cannot be accessed, as they need to be checked for leaks.
3.	Ventilation: If the gas pipe is in boxing, then it should be ventilation provided to prevent the build-up of gas in case of a leak.
4.	Depth and Position: The chase (the groove in the wall where the pipe is placed) should be of appropriate depth and position to avoid weakening the wall structure. 
5.	Professional Installation: It is essential to have a qualified gas engineer carry out the installation to ensure all safety regulations are met.
Always consult with a professional before making any modifications to gas pipes in your home. Safety first!
