NO !!!! Must be Galvanized pipe with threaded fittings or Copper piping with flare fittings. If there ever was a fire, the PVC pipe would burn & burst allowing the propane gas to flow out and explode !!
That's what most people use.
If a professional plumber ( one who actually had formal training) they would never use propane unless they are suicidal.
1- Propane is heavier then air thus it pockets
2- Propane does not give the same heat as Acetylene
3- Acetylene is a lot safer .
Yes one can solder with Propane and one can solder with Mapp and even solder piping with electric where the use of an open flame is not advisable .
As long as the heat source is above the melting point of the alloy it should flow by capillary attraction
Copper tubing is used for underground propane service lines but should be installed by a licensed propane company. See www.propane101.com/gasserviceline.htm for a better explanation.
Yes, use schedule 40 soft copper with flared fittings for connecting copper to appliance gas is going to.
check with your gas supplier. Copper is not usually used with gas lines, due to the lower melting temperatures of copper.
Not recommended.
A PVC pipe alone does not generate static electricity. Electrons need to be transfered for static electricity to be generated. Rubbing felt on the pipe or spraying it with sand are two common ways that people can use PVC pipe to generate static electricity.
Plastic pipe is allowed per 2006 Uniform Plumbing Code (current as of 2010) for underground exterior applications of LP gas (propane, butane, natural gas...). The pipe must be per ASTM D 2513. When you apply for your permit, the local jurisdiction will tell you what you can/can't use for your particular situation.
It's not used for making PVC resin, but it is used in processing it - they use it as a lubricant when making rigid PVC articles like pipe.
Install sealtite connector and use PVC FA connector -- threads on one end and coupling on other end to glue to pipe.
Flare copper pipe and use a flared shutoff valve. If valve isn't flared, use an adapter fitting between copper flared pipe and valve.
PVC is commonly used in plumbing
No! Steel is a very bad choice for plumbing, as it rusts and can poison your water. PVC, copper, or clay pipes are recommended for plumbing.
In plumbing IPS means "iron pipe size" that categorizes the thickness of pipe walls, still used by some manufacturers of iron and polyvinyl chloride, or PVC, piping that connects to faucets for home and business use. alliedallcityinc.com
A pipe cutter is the best tool to cut PVC pipe.
did you mean pcv? if you did mean pvc, then it depends if you want to use it for water or for waste. and if for water, how many bars of pressure will be in the pipe and for waste is underground or not. unless these questions are answered the answer to this question is vast.
Basic plumbing tools would be the best to use. These would include a propane torch, a metal file, a hacksaw, and several wrenches: basin, pipe, and adjustable.
Yes, if it is rigid PVC conduit approved for electrical installations. Don't use PVC water pipe as it will be rejected if inspected.
A sleeve is anything that protects the pipe from something else you can purchase special sleeving for copper or pex in slabs, sleeve an irrigation line in a driveway with PVC or use PVC between floors of a concrete building.
You can purchase PVC and CPVC piping at any local hardware or building supply store. Plumbing supply stores are less common, but you may have one near you. Be certain that you purchase the correct primer and glue for the type of pipe you intend to use, and use the correct pipe for the correct purpose.
No, do not use glue. Use teflon tape or pipe dope on the threads. You should also make sure you always put the male PVC thread into the female metal thread. If you do it the other way you will tend to split the PVC fitting when you tighten the threads.
if your waste pipe is PVC and your glue is for PVC . yes! but make sure to use a primer(cleaner) on the pipe first.
Absolutely Not!
