Yes, cast iron fittings can be used for gas applications, particularly in older installations. They are durable and resistant to corrosion, making them suitable for handling gas. However, modern installations often prefer materials like steel or brass due to weight and ease of installation. Always ensure compliance with local codes and regulations when using any materials for gas piping.

Most codes do not allow Galvanized piping/fittings on gas piping. I have used galvanized pipe/fittings on exterior gas piping before in the state of Michigan but other states do not allows this. Check with your local code authorities.
No.
Stenciling is used to identify the direction of flow and what the piping is used for such as fire supression ,gas , potable water ,etc
No. You can use flared fittings with a flaring tool and soft copper pipe.

Brass is normally used for the gas connector to an appliance and for small shut off valves Piping and related fittings black steel is used ABOVE Ground in on piping not exposed to excessive moisture
It depends on the laws of your state or country. I would say, to be safe, inspect the gas line and install the same type of fittings you find there.
No, proper pipe dope that is approved for gas installations must be used on all threaded fittings. Using substitutes will not guarantee that a tight fit will be made which can lead to gas leaking into the house.
Not sure what you mean by pressure fittings. Threaded fittings for steel pipe are pressure fittings. Steel pipe with a 3/4" O.D. is known as 1/2" I.P.S. (Iron Pipe Size) pipe.
cast iron.....the best! How do you keep eggs from sticking to cast iron?
No, Victaulic fittings are not recommended for use with methane gas due to the potential risk of gas leakage. It is important to use fittings that are specifically designed and approved for use with methane gas to ensure safety and compliance with regulations.
Jordan Mott was the one who invented the cast iron stove it was call a baseburner. The stove had ventilation to burn coal it was made of heavy cast iron.
CGA stands for the Compressed Gas Association. A CGA fitting is standardized system for the attachment of a compressed gas cylinder to the required regulator or transfer line. Examples of CGA fittings would be CGA-580 for Non-flamable, Non-oxidizing gasses such as Nitrogen, Argon, or Helium. CGA-590 is used for compressed air and CGA-326 is used for Nitrous Oxide. There are approximately a dozen commonly used CGA-fittings, with others used for special purposes. These welding fittings are typically used for welding applications, but can extend to other application such as medical and other gas uses. The fitting standards are designed to make the gas connections leak tight and also prevent different fittings from being mixed up. For example, flamable gas fittings have a left hand thread fittings. Oxygen and inert gases have right hand thread fittings. Since a left hand thread fittings cannot be threaded onto a right hand fitting, it is impossible to connect the fuel gas to the oxygen and vise versa. It is easy to determine whether the fitting is a left hand or right hand thread. The left hand fittings all have a small cut or slash on the nut of the fitting that denotes the left hand thread.
Shark bite fittings are primarily designed for use with potable water and can also be used with some heating and cooling applications. However, they are not typically approved for use with propane gas or other fuels. For propane applications, it's essential to use fittings specifically rated and tested for gas use to ensure safety and compliance with local codes. Always consult manufacturer guidelines and local regulations before making installations involving gas.
No.
