Gas Piping 101.

That sounds like a good read, doesn’t it? The beginning of October means many homeowners living in and around the Spokane and Coeur D’Alene area will have to start firing up their heating systems. Natural gas is among the least expensive and most efficient ways to fuel a furnace or boiler.

Here are some of the basics of gas piping inspection –

1.  Branch lines run to individual appliances.

2.  At the appliance connection point, there usually is a sediment trap.

3.  The piping downstream of the gas meter usually is the responsibility of the homeowner.

4.  The most common gas piping is black steel.

5.  Thread seal tape is NOT recommended as a joining compound for steel gas piping.

All of this may be good to know, however installing gas piping in your Spokane or Coeur D’Alene area home is a delicate proposition and should be done by a licensed plumber!
