Re: New York City gas
What is the reason copper is allowed in some areas but not others?ChrisJ said:I hope THEY NEVER ALLOW it...Scary...Chris...no one worth their salt in NYC brazes gas..thats a bad joke, right? Mad Dog
It was a joke, though I'm not sure why it's bad.
A good quality brazed joint is quite strong, and apparently allowed by code in NYC.
It’s allowed in NYS because there are areas that allow for copper tubing and flare/brazed connections. Copper tubing is not allowed in NYC for gas piping.Put your brazing rods away in the 5 boroughs.
I believe I've heard the same thing about NJ? I think it's allowed for LPG, but not NG or is that incorrect?
Either way, what is the reason for not allowing it?

Re: New York City gas
Clearly the real pros weld or braze gas piping in NYC.

We are not robots, Chris. I speak only for myself, but I actually enjoy and am very interested in other people's references, Little stories, life experiences, age differences. It would be very cold and boring otherwise. Mad Dog
