What kind of underground pipe do you use for natural gas grill?

My preferred material is yellow plastic pipe (actually polyethylene) but it is not available in most big box stores and the metal risers required are pricey and need a specialized tool to make the connection to the poly. Supply houses typically only sell in minimum of 250 foot rolls. More common for short runs is the green coated "black iron" (actually steel) pipe that is available at big box stores. You will need a primer and special tape to wrap each joint that is underground (also available at the box stores). The threaded portion is the most vulnerable to corrosion as the pipe is thinner at that point and moisture tends to accumulate in the thread. Local codes vary but 18" depth is common for piping inside a yard and not in a right-of-way. Remember to dig with caution - there are other lines underground. Safest thing to do is hire a plumber. Working with gas piping is not for amateurs.
