Yes, galvanised pipes may certainly be used. Making sure that the threaded joints are well sealed, however galvanised piping can be tricky and sometimes difficult to install. Copper pipe is so widely used and preferred because of the soldered joints, you are guaranteed a leak proof joint and much easier to install. Black iron pipe is more commonly used than galvanized. The galvanizing reacts with the gas and can flake off.
