I have installed a Gas stove and had to run pipe to the kitchen.


I tapped into the existing copper pipe with a copper T. Ran copper to
Black pipe which is what comes out of the floor in the Kitchen for the
Gas Stove to hookup to.


The copper fittings that I put in were soldered using standard plumbing
solder.


There have been no leaks and this has been in place a couple of months
now, but I've read somewhere that soldering is only for water and not
gas.


What are the problems with soldering for gas pipes? Is this setup
dangerous?


Did you live in a place where you have to pull a permit and have an inspection?

If so, and you didn't, keep in mind that your insurance is void if you get a
gas leak.
