Gas Pipe Above Kitchen Entrance

[mw66]

Dear Master Cecil,

Please kindly advise if it is ok for one to run the gas pipe above the kitchen entrance according to the below floor plans (the RED line indicates the intended gas pipe routing to the cooker hob).  Is it against good feng shui if one is to enter or exit the kitchen entrance with the gas pipe that is being installed above the kitchen entrance?  We have a concern if it is good for one to walk through the kitchen entrance with the gas pipe above one's head.

Is it better for us to choose the gas pipe routing in the clockwise manner or anti-clockwise manner?

Many thanks in advance for your advice.

Frankly Feng Shui does not micro manage or rather, there is no precedence in Feng Shui of managing this area.

For example, lets take the purchase of a brand new condominium unit or EC.

Here, more often; once T.O.P. when the keys of the unit was handed to us; many of us find the air-con units; more often we find the air-con units directly above bedrooms 2, 3 etc. 

And on many occasions, we see a hall air-con unit directly along the foyer leading towards the home.

What many do not know is that if we were to tap the ceilings near-by to the air-con units; usually these are dry-walls.

And little do many also know that three things may even be running across these areas and even the covered passage-way leading into the bedrooms:-

The three things are:-

1. The drainage pipes for the condensed water to flow .. yes .. towards the nearest toilet.
2. The copper gas pipe carrying the liquid to coil the coils = which makes the air-cold

3. Electrical wiring carrying electricity towards the air-con units.

Even many HDB flats have external trunkings abeit; that these are visible.

Here, knowing the above: who dares or can complaint that these items (air-con unit) / pipes and power lines cross above the heads?

Under Symbolism in Feng Shui; one can use this clause. And "conceal" example: via trunking or dry-walls and or kitchen cabinets to hide the gas pipe.

Common sense says that gas pipes in HDB flats can be run on the exterior for safety reasons. And subsequently kitchen cabinets can be installed to hide it.

Why common sense. Many years ago; there were a few incidents where in a certain development; the kitchen cabinet installed; drilled into the wall to fix mountings and inadvertanetly drilled into the gas pipe. Fortunately, for safety reasons, gas containing methane is smelly unlike CO2 which has no smell.

Like our 2nd former Prime Minister's wife once said about the salary of a charity: she said "PEANUTS".

Why go and dwell with "peanuts".. And as I had mentioned, Feng Shui does not micro-manage such things.

Unless, one meets with an obsessively compulsive Mad geomancer who loves also to eat, sleep on peanuts. Got it, get it?

Feng Shui is concerned with something similar to this attachment.

And Feng Shui has no precedence with "PEANUTS".

Feng Shui does not micro manage every nitty gritty thing in the kitchen.

Exposed "yellow" pipes are more of an eye-sore than Fung Sway.
