Not a good idea to use copper for this. Natural gas reacts with copper
and causes it to flake off and clogs the orifices of the device using
the gas.

Note, for NG copper use, code here required plated (interior of tube)
copper tubing. That pretty much ruled out any soldering, brazing or
welding.

Now, only plastic may be used underground HERE. Propane or NG.
