I have a detached garage that is about 30? feet from the house.
It is an older unit that is all brick and insulated.

I was looking into running a gas line and installing a gas heater.

Suggestions on digging depth and buying the correct gas line?



I just realized that no one really answered your original question.

Depending on where you are, you might be able to run soft copper for
gas line, but it seems that most underground gas piping in my area is
done in polyethylene tubing (or pipe). I'm not sure that you can buy
it from anywhere but a heating supply house, who probably wouldn't
sell it to you. I supposed you could run CSST through maybe 2" PVC,
since it isn't suitable for direct burial. What was the old line made
of?
