Some time ago I renovated an old bolted installation for a welded installation. Gasworkers did, a leak test (pressure) was made and I was left like that, claiming that it was good to issue paper with the above test. Then the gentleman came with the gas, hooked up the meter dismantled for the duration of the renovation and also had no comments (the pipes were still visible in the furrows = not built-up).
Then the renovation team came in. The old walls, as in buildings from the 1960s, were leveled with K / G boards so that the entire gas pipes disappeared, which aesthetically looks great ...
The installation is simple, 3 vertical sections (from the counter in the hall up, in the bathroom down to the "junkers", in the kitchen down to the gas hob) and one level (passage through the bathroom to the kitchen).
Tomorrow, the gas technicians sent in front of the administration who periodically inspect the gas installation are to enter for the first time ... I read on the internet and I am confused whether I will pass the inspection without any problems. Some say that pipes (even welded steel pipes) cannot be built in at all, others that you can, but there must be a revision on the welds so that the gas worker can check if there is a leak in this place, others write that they build in the whole and have no problem with it.
Can someone tell me what the law says about the above-mentioned cardboard/plaster buildings that have already been made at my place? Will gas workers stick to it and I will have to forge the walls again and make corrections, or will it be enough for them to just make revisions so that they can see the welds and examine them with a probe.
In the risers, I can make revisions in places where the welds fall out and insert such tiny ventilation grilles in plasterboard (e.g. 8cm) so that during the inspection I can put my probe there ... All risers will be covered with cabinets so you won't see anything.
In the bathroom, however, I have a gas pipe completely covered with a non-detachable ceiling made of plasterboard and the only places where you can look into it are the holes for lighting (GU10) and they will not get to the welds.
My question is as follows, will I pass the inspection according to the current regulations or will I have to, for example, make revisions at the welds (everything is ok except for the wretched ceiling) or, even worse, redo the gas installation again?
