Most areas wont even allow copper or soldered lines for gas. Gas

Then there are problems with leaky joints;bad news for gas,water is not

That for real? About 6 years ago, I had a big underground gas tank
installed by the local gas company and they used copper throughout. Of
course, the lawn guy then promptly ran into the house feed and never told
me. Learned about that one went I went out back and smelled gas... That
installation was an accident waiting to happen...

Propane and copper...........Yes
Natural gas and copper......No
