Question about running a gas pipe under a backyard for a grill: if the pipe will be inside of a larger pvc pipe that was previously run as a chase, do you still need to use the special kind of gas pipe for underground work, or will normal gas pipe suffice since technically the pipe won’t be in the ground, touching soil?

  1. Selfish Mom, your contractor is not doing you any favors with that PVC being open inside your home.

    He should know better than to install a direct conduit for gas, water, insects, mice, roots and whatever else from the soil to the living space.

    There are several smarter ways to do what you’re trying to accomplish, but they require more thought and planning than a forum post allow.

    Start by asking your contractors and subs to consult the Code.

  2. Can’t use the flexible tubing in NYC, it’s not approved. If you’re planning on filing the gas line, be careful, DOB is very strict on gas line rules for outside BBQ.
