I have a gas pipe that I want to reroute for a basement remodel. It is installed about 8" from the wall, and runs in front of the window. I will hire a plumber to do the actual gas pipe work, but I'm doing the framing and everything else. I have a few questions that I'm hoping I can get some experienced advice on.
Is it OK to run the gas pipe in the floor joist cavity in the ceiling?
Is it OK to run the pipe through a joist or joists?
How should I protect the pipe if it winds up in a wall?
How much is reasonable to pay for the pipe work? The pipe run is about 10'. The pipe is currently 8" from the basement wall and needs to be about 3". Assuming it is OK to run in a joist cavity, the work would convert a straight run to a U-shaped run.
Thanks.
