Plumbers and gas pipes

[thekingiam]

The plumber has ran his gas, hot and cold pipes into a void that my electric cables are, wondered what implications there could be apart from heat from pipes and water . need to run more cables through this void wondered if I should put cables in conduit for protection.Any feed back welcome.

should be at least a 2" space between pipes and cables, and hot pipes not directly beneath cables. a length of trunking wouldn't come amiss.

ask the plumber if he can put some grey foam around the hot pipes

Thanks for response could pin back cables entering and leaving void but cannot get access into void to check inside best I can do is either leave lots of slack so cables drop away from pipes inside or 1 lenght of PVC conduit?
