So solder it?

Gas mains in the street were replaced here last year (something like 3" 
plastic inserted inside the 1970s 4" cast iron). As built, the houses 
transitioned to black iron somewhere outside the front door, which then 
went under the solid concrete floors to the meter.  In the intervening 
years many front-porches and garages had been built over the transition 
point, they refused to leave my meter in the same location.

Some houses had ugly meter boxes fitted on (not within) external walls, 
others had yards and yards of external pipe snaked around their house 
also ugly).  I got them to dig* and divert the incoming pipe a couple of 
metres, so all that's visible is an external vertical riser about 18". 
The rest is 22mm soldered copper, neat enough and will get boxed inside 
a cupboard "soon".

[*] i knew there was concrete under the block paved drive, but they 
didn't ask, I suspect it was biting-off more than they expected!
