Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Aug 03, 2020 6:27 pm Hi I am not sure if they are too close or not, they have laid the bricks already so I hope it’s okay? Does anyone know the regulation with this? I’m just worried if the water tap breaks or the pipes then might have live electricity or something? Anyone who has knowledge on this can share please? Thanks

Hi SaveH2O, Thanks for replying. I did measure it, it looks like it’s about 25mm. Did I understand it correctly? Does it means it’s ok?

Are you using a well qualified building consultant for stage inspections? Thanks so much. I am using a independent building consultant for each stage. I did ask him he thinks it’s ok. But that was already after bricks were put in. I was just concerned that the pipes were overlapping each other. But it seems like it’s ok Re: Electric meter pipe and water tap pipe too close to each 6Aug 05, 2020 7:09 am It could have been a lot neater and a sparkie might have a stronger view.
