Guys, My gas line seems to be devoid of shutoffs. There's a few of these things: http://imgur.com/StikUPR Which I hope are shutoffs, and one obvious shutoff...on a pipe with an open end. Opening that

Scott - It looks like a shutoff. Turn the part of the left side of the picture perpendicular to the pipe and it should be off. Parallel to the pipe like in the picture is on. The shutoff will be simi

It is my understanding that modern codes favor black pipe. In New York, I don't think copper is allowed with gas, especially if it is inside a wall. The concern is that someone drives a nail, hits th

Do modern codes really favor CSST or do modern businesses just favor it because it is easier and cheaper to install? I don't really know the answer to that. The answer probably depends on where you l

I'm pondering how one would re-solder a pinhole leak in a copper gas pipe system. I can't think of a way that doesn't involve the solderer becoming an involuntary astronaut. Jeff Scarbrough Corrosion

What I'm reading seems to indicate that you shouldn't be soldering copper gas lines. You have to braze with melting point over 1000 degrees or use other "approved fittings." Here's a forum discussing

Well...if I can't set up copper gas lines the same way I'd set up copper water lines, copper is right out. If I've got to learn a new skill, I might as well learn how to join black iron to be leak fr

I guess you'd want to be isolating the area you're working on and purging it with something inert before you light up. I don't imagine this kind of thing would be widely accepted by authorities over

Funny you should say that. I did my air lines with copper "just like water lines" in my garage. Other than the cost of copper, I haven't really come up with any drawbacks. -Steve ____________________

Wait...you did your air lines in copper? This is the part where I tell you no matter whether you're using type L or M, eventually it will fatigue and explode. Copper shrapnel everywhere. Yes, you *ca

I'd think you'd just remove the section of pipe. You really can't solder a pinhole leak shut, even on water lines. Eventually the solder will give way. You can get a sleeve, I suppose, but I'd imagin

I knew when I wrote that I would be opening that can of worms yet again. Go search around and find any evidence of "copper shrapnel everywhere." What you say is true for PVC, but I really don't think

The risk there would only be to the first soldered fitting, I would think. You can always silver solder that one. If it does fail, it is not going to explode or anything. -Steve _____________________
