We've agreed on the following:
- that the IRC and many other codes allow mixing galvanized and black
iron pipe in distribution lines
- that there is little likelihood of there being any problems by doing
so
- that some local codes and gas utilities prohibit using galvanized
pipe
- that it is mandatory that people contemplating using galvanized pipe
in gas installations check with their gas utility and/or local code to
see if it is permitted.


Now, how do we erase all of the extraneous back-and-forth on the topic
on the Internet so people will have a clear, simple grasp of the
issues?



How can something so simple become so complex? :-)


Human nature...? Just bring up the subject of helmets on a cycling
newsgroup. Everyone is 100% right, adamant about it, and nobody
agrees.
