Yes. But, only if the union is after a main shut off valve and is before and appliance connection.

ex.

A ball valve then pipe and a union before an furnace connection. Unions used as couplings to lengthen pipe are not code approved.

Gas pipe clogged with water how do you get it out to make the gas flow again?

To clear a clogged gas pipe with water, you should turn off the gas supply, drain the pipe, and use compressed air to blow out the water. If the water is not easily removed, a professional plumber should be contacted to ensure the safe and proper removal of the water from the gas pipe before restoring gas flow.


Can water enter natural gas main lines?

No. It cannot enter because the lines are pressurised and any hole or crack in the line will exert more pressure outwards than the water can inwards. High pressure propane lines are self sealing because the gas is so cold upon leaving a crack, it will freeze to ice and be self sealing. Water can condense on the inside of a pipe just as any other surface and the gas companies have dryers to remove this moisture. Water can enter a natural gas distribution system (a pipe). Many older systems, particularly in the North Eastern US operate below 0.5 psig. If there is an opening in the pipe, water can overcome the operating pressure and enter the pipe.
