Hi folks,
I'm converting a portable generator to run on natural gas. I need to tap into my gas line in my home, run the line through the basement wall and then underground for about 25 feet. From there, the line will need to go vertical and rise above the ground level to around 16 to 24 inches where I plan on installing a secondary valve and an elbow with a simple pipe plug. (I'll remove the plug to connect the generator as needed).
I will also be putting a valve in my basement to shut off the outdoor portion of the line for safety reasons.
What kind of gas pipe would be suggested here? I'm thinking standard black iron pipe but was also considering a plastic line that would attach to steel at both ends.
The line will exit near the front of my garage behind a bush and a large boulder to keep it hidden.
Any suggestions?
