Throw in "vertical" if there's any doubt.
Do you know from which direction (above or below) the pipe comes? It might not be a riser.
Tige après compteur :
Tuyauterie d'allure rectiligne et verticale, reliant un compteur situé dans un local technique gaz à l'appartement desservi.
TIGE-CUISINE :
Conduite à usage collectif d'allure rectiligne et verticale, NON MUNIE DE COMPTEUR et n'alimentant qu'un seul appareil de cuisson par logement à l'exclusion de tout autre appareil http://www.ineris.fr/aida/?q=consult_doc/consultation/2.250....
It is made clear that tige cuisine is particular to multi-dwelling buildings:
Dans les IMMEUBLES COLLECTIFS, le branchement comporte :
a) Un branchement d'immeuble situé en amont de l'organe de coupure défini à l'article 13 (1°) ;
b) La conduite d'immeuble et la ou les conduites montantes ou TIGES-CUISINE (cf. article 7 [5°, c ]).
[op cit.]
TIGE-CUISINE gaz naturel
Canalisation pouvant être utilisée, DANS DES CUISINES NÉCESSAIREMENT SUPERPOSÉES, quand seuls des appareils de cuisson sont alimentés en gaz naturel.
Conduite d'immeuble
Tuyauterie horizontale alimentant une ou plusieurs conduites montantes, TIGES-CUISINES, nourrices de compteurs en local technique, ou encore des branchements particuliers. http://www.cegibat.fr/cegibat/reglementation/lexique/index.p...
Ah, but I think there you are risking over-interpretation! All we know is that this involves 'dwellings'; we do not know for sure that these are apartments, nor that there are several of them together in some kind of block or complex. Of course that could be the case; but we don't know that for sure, so it may be dangerous to extrapolate.
RE: "only relevant in one specific context, i.e. apartments in a multi-storey block"
That's how I understand "un seul appareil de cuisson par logement"
What you say is true, of course — but it is only relevant in one specific context, i.e. appartments in a multi-storey block (for example)
The term 'riser' has much more general technical usage than just that, and although it can indeed refer to some kind of pipe (gas, water, etc.) going vertically up a building to serve all the floors (cf. fire service 'dry riser'), that is only one of a much wider range of possible applications of the term.
I'm not sure I understand your question, but if the gas flows through the meter before it goes up the risers, it's not possible to bill on an apartment-by-apartment basis, so the charges are shared in common.
On the other hand, if the meters are placed between the risers and each individual apartment, each apartment can be billed separately.
My understanding of "riser" is the pipe that takes the utility from the network up to the meter, whereas once you get past the meter, a term like Tony's "appliance feeder" or Bourth's keep-it-simple approach would be more appropriate. (non-specialist but have had work involving the term)

Asker: Thanks for this suggestion, but I think the other comments are right, this refers to a much bigger affair than what I am looking for...
Explanation: Like CC, this is not my field, so I'm just offering this on the basis of intelligent (?) guesswork, as an alternative idea which may possibly be an avenue for further research.
Thinking about it, CC's idea of 'riser' might work with this too — how about 'appliance riser'?

Well, 'appliance riser' does get a sprinkling of Ghits, like this one, for example:
Part 7, Venting of Equipment, in the National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54-1996 ...... the slab and above the point of exit from the slab for the appliance riser. ...

To answer the point made by Claude-Andrew, in my experience both 'feeder' and 'riser' can be used for the pipe leading to an individual appliance (as well as for a 'main incoming riser'); as Bourth says, the dodgy one to watch out for is if the pipe is running downwards, though I guess that may be the less common situation.

Asker: THanks this seems like a good candidate especially as there seems to be no 'official' term.
