Plastic pipe is allowed per 2006 Uniform Plumbing Code (current as of 2010) for underground exterior applications of LP gas (propane, butane, natural gas...). The pipe must be per ASTM D 2513. When you apply for your permit, the local jurisdiction will tell you what you can/can't use for your particular situation.
