A 42" line-break valve has a 2" sensing line which shall be branched min. 5D downstream in an underground gas pipeline. 2" branch shall be done at 12 o'clock. Is it acceptable (from engineering point of view)to use sandbags under 2" pipe (as it is shown in the below picture) permanently and backfill the line?
