Gas piping outside?

Charlie from wmass

It is not their house that will be lost.

It is clearly stated in the Massachusetts gas code. I am assuming you are not in Mass as one can not diy gas piping here. The tether is a cable that is a few inches shorter then the hose and is attached so no matter where the grill is moved the cable takes the strain before the hose

Ah

Thanks for the info Charlie.



No I do not live in Mass and from the sounds of it I never will.  I would never live in a place that will not allow me to work on my own home when there are places that allow it.



I was able to install all of my gas piping and steam boiler with permits from the town.  It of course had to be to code and inspected.  The only thing I couldn't do as a home owner was certify my chimney which had to be torn down and replaced with a B-vent anyway.





I see absolutely no reason a state should prevent people from doing their own gas piping.  I needed a permit, to install the "fuel line" to code and I had to have a gauge on it and pressured tested for the inspector.  I pressure tested at 15 PSI and it held it for two weeks before the inspection.
