Hello,
I am planning on installing a BBQ island and a fire pit in our back yard. Right now, we have no hardscape or obstacles. I will definitely hire a licensed plumber to install anything related to the any gas item we'll end up using, but would like to dig the trenches and prepare for this installation in advance.
I checked with the local county's building department the code concerning depth of the the pipes and still could not find the answer to my question. So here its:
I would like to install a flexible (yellow) gas line starting from an existing gas stub which exists already on the side of my house. I would like to have the pipes installed in an underground sleeve (or a conduit), such that if there is an issue later on, it will be simple to pull the existing yellow gas line and replace with a new one - without a need to break concrete which will cover it. If so, can anyone recommend the type of sleeve/conduit required for this job? Also, would that be considered as a metal or non-metal type of pipe as far as the code concerned? Anything else I should consider?
Any help and advice is appreciated.
