It all depends on what you’re doing with the gas pipe. If you want it buried in a screed, for let’s say for a gas cooker or other appliances, then it really needs to be buried a at least 25mm but ideally you’d have it sat on or cut into your insulation. Then it needs to be protected by a form of lagging to stop corrosion. Also there are no “mechanical fittings allowed in screed” so this means normally soldered joints.

If it’s for a gas service pipe, 375 mm on private land and then 450mm for anywhere with a high traffic. This is for places like footpaths and driveways and so on.
