Lead is a poisonous metal and substance. It is banned in all but some very special applications anymore (car batteries for example) Lead pipe does not have the tensile strength for any type of pressure that gases may have. Most Natural gas systems operate at fairly high delivery pressure to homes as does LP in homes. That pressure is regulated to a very low state before entering the home or building.
