    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
    Cost is what you spend , value is what you get.

    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.

    Single pipe 392sqft system with an EG-40 rated for 325sqft and it's silent and balanced at all times.
