What else can I help you with?
Is ppr pipe can be use for gas piping system?
No, PPR (Polypropylene Random Copolymer) pipe is not suitable for gas piping systems. It is primarily designed for hot and cold water distribution and is not approved for transporting gas due to its inability to withstand the pressures and potential chemical reactions associated with gas. For gas piping, materials like steel, copper, or specific types of plastic such as polyethylene (PE) are recommended. Always consult local regulations and codes for proper materials in gas applications.
Can you use white teflon tape on natural gas piping?
Yes, you can. You could also use pipe dope, according to my dad. He works for infra source installing natural gas piping.
Gas piping schedule?
I use schedule 40 for natural gas BUT if your talking medical Gases then look up the NFPA 54 or contact the CDA and your local codes
Can you use galvanized connections on gas iron pipe?
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.
What advantage does galvanised pipe have over black mild steel?
Great material for oil lines /natural gas /steam / hydronics / condensate /chilled water piping /air
What materials are suitable for forming gas piping or dissociated ammonia gas piping?
Piping material used for forming gas would be 316L stainless steel.

Why does natural gas leave a residue in piping?
Natural gas can leave a residue in piping due to impurities in the gas such as sulfur compounds or moisture that can react with the metal of the piping or form deposits over time. These residues can accumulate and clog the piping, leading to reduced flow efficiency and potentially causing operational issues. Regular maintenance and cleaning of the piping can help prevent the buildup of residues.
What is natural materials?
natural materials are those materials which are produced naturaly e.g coal,oil,water and gas
Is it all right to use galvanized pipe with black iron pipe?
What is the application as many times such as natural gas it is permissible as gas lines exposed to the elements have to be protected painted / insulated or galvanized piping vanized piping
Is copper safe for natural gas line?
Copper is not recommended for natural gas lines because it can corrode and degrade when in contact with natural gas, potentially causing leaks or other safety hazards. It is important to use materials that are specifically designed and approved for use with natural gas, such as steel or flexible CSST (corrugated stainless steel tubing).
What will happen if you use white teflon tape on a natural gas pipe?
Using white Teflon tape on a natural gas pipe is not recommended because it is not suitable for use with gas fittings. Teflon tape is typically used for water piping applications. It may not provide the proper seal for natural gas, leading to potential leaks and safety hazards. It is best to use yellow Teflon tape or an approved pipe joint compound specifically designed for natural gas applications.
What type of piping are you required to use with Methane gas?
As far as I know, for underground piping use plastic, for above ground steel or copper. That is the practice in the UK, but I don't know about the US. I would be surprised if it is different. We did have underground steel pipes but these are now being replaced with plastic and all new is plastic (underground)
What is the formal name of the orange plastic natural gas piping used in the 1970's?
The formal name of the orange plastic natural gas piping used in the 1970s is Polyethylene (PE) pipe. These pipes were primarily made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) material and were commonly used for natural gas distribution due to their flexibility and corrosion resistance.
Gas piping schedule?
I use schedule 40 for natural gas BUT if your talking medical Gases then look up the NFPA 54 or contact the CDA and your local codes
What should rooftop gas piping be?
Galvanized piping or painted depending on local codes and type of fuel (gas) NO drip legs where the piping is subject to freeze ups
