My next purchase is going to be a natural gas grill. I will need to get NG out to the backyard. I will not need anything run underground as I'd like to have the quick disconnect coming out of the back of the house well above grade. In the basement I have a 1/2" line running off of a 1" line. The 1/2" is going up to the 1st floor laundry area for the location of a gas dryer. I have an electric dryer and will never get a gas dryer. Also I am really not that concerned about the needs of any future owner as far as their clothes drying preference.
Was contemplating just taking this gas dryer line apart back to the 1" x 1/2" Tee and rerouting the 1/2" run toward the outside. The run toward the outside would be about 40' from the point of the Tee. The grill will be about 40,000 BTU. The gas piping is black iron pipe. Have no qualms about installing new run as I have worked with black pipe alot. Is 1/2" ok for that distance? Also is there anything to mount on outside of house where the gas line exits? The house is vinyl siding at the location where the gas line would exit.
