Well it depends on the size of the pipe work you intend to use, also what material? do you intend to bend the pipe or use manufactured bends?
if using copper it will need to be protected from the plaster, and the pipe work should be secured normally using nail in clips

i useally go about 35mm deep fit the 15mm pipe in a conduit then secure with a few saddle clips and backfill with browning before plastering.

15mm copper any bends will be formed with a bender and how do you protect from plaster

 

[mcdommo]

hi seco may sound stupid but you have lost me with the backfill and browning please explain

 

[seco services]

pipe in conduit.

pipe clipped.

backfill channel before plastering wall with browning
but save buying a bag your plasterer will more likely sort that.

you'll be lucky.
better with 90 degree solder bend.

hi seco where is best place to get browning and is it like a filler then you plaster over the top thanks for help and do you no how much roughly the browning is

 

[seco services]

most buliders merchants plasterer supplies.
wickes do it about £7 but your not going to get through a whole bag.

you just mix with water depending on the channel you can backfill over 2 days when the first lots dry so it don't all fall out the hole.
ready for your final skim etc.
