Installing Copper Oil Pipe Underground
Plastic coated copper pipe is suitable for installation underground, when burying copper oil pipe certain provisions should be observed to both ensure correct installation and to prevent the risk of accidental damage.

Industrial grade polythene should then be laid above the bed of sand before backfilling (an ‘Oil Pipe Warning’ tape should be used 150mm below the finished ground level.
Buried oil pipes should be sited a minimum of 300mm clear from other service pipes (eg water, electricity, etc).
