I still don't see it used in Florida. LPG is piped with plastic
underground and copper inside or galvanized outside above ground on
the low pressure side of the regulator.

galvanized is strictly not recommended. It's not against code, but it
can 'flake' and plug orifices.

Some local codes, at least, do prohibit galvanized...

Recently there have been some studies that indicate that usage isn't as
much an issue as was one time thought (zinc reaction w/ trace
contaminants) but other data I've seen indicate that w/ more imported
gas and domestic supplies becoming more limited that those issues may
becoming more significant again...

Overall, I'd recommend against it (galvanized, that is) simply on basis
of long-time precedent irregardless of local code on the issue for
either NG or LP or LNG.
