Can you use pipe unions in Natural gas lines?

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.

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.


What type of pipe used to extend natural gas line?

Hard copper using silfoss for the joints, copper tubing using flare connections, and screwed black iron pipe. You should hire a Journeyman gas fitter and get a permit for any gas work done as if there is a problem, it won't be covered by your insurance!!!!


What is the code for natural gas lines?

The National Fuel Gas Code, also known as NFPA 54, provides guidelines for the installation, operation, and maintenance of natural gas lines. It covers aspects like pipe sizing, pressure regulation, and safety measures to ensure the proper installation of natural gas systems. Always consult with local authorities and professionals when working with natural gas lines to ensure compliance with applicable codes and regulations.

Why cant you see an object through a bent pipe?

You can't see an object through a bent pipe because light does not travel in straight lines when passing through the bent pipe. The light rays are refracted as they enter the pipe, causing the object to appear distorted or blocked from view due to the curve of the pipe.


Why is black pipe used for natural gas lines?

Natural gas is corrosive and black pipe does not corrode so there is no debris to clog the lines. A more common form of gas pipe is corrogated stainless steel. Especially in residential homes.
