So I did the right thing and spent a solid amount of money to have a licensed/bonded plumber run a gas line to my fireplace. I came home last night to find everything beautifully done. However, he ran black pipe outside the house and when it transitioned inside, it's galvanized, right into the firebox.
Is that OK? I can't seem to find a definitive answer. Some things I read say that black pipe MUST be used near fire, other things I read say galvanized is OK. I don't want to get into a fight with my plumber over this if I don't have to, but I just don't want my house to explode down the road.
Also -- part of the pipe will be covered over by brick -- that needs to be wrapped with tape, right? He didn't do that.
Thanks.
