Many locations here in Georgia use copper for NG, use double flare fittings.
Mostly black pipe to a point then depending on device, Flex to furnace/water
heater, Copper to fireplaces, outside grills, etc.

I will be moving my outside grill soon, I will check to see what the inside
of the copper looks like as I am curious to the issues with flaking I am
hearing about copper and NG.

Nayone have any links to sites that can expain all these issues ?

Thanks,

Whats the point? If you got black pipe coming out the floor, all you
need is a $10 gas flex pipe made for gas. You probably spent half
that amount just on the copper pipe and all the soldering, etc.
Now you are living in danger, because you were too cheap to spend $5
more to do it right.

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?
