I know some of you are not supportive of DIY work on gas lines. However, I did want to mention that this work has been discussed with our local plumbing inspector, and he has given it the green light. I would very much appreciate any comments / review of the following before I bring it to the inspector for final review.
The existing gas line is 1" galvanized, and feeds the furance and hot water heater. They are both within 15' of the gas meter.
I am installing a 30' extension to feed a gas range / oven. I plan to install a 3/4" brass gas ball valve at an existing galvanized "T", followed by 30' of 3/4" black iron pipe, and the final shut-off valve (brass gas valve) at the stove.
Is there any problem mixing brass gas valves with either black iron and/or galvanized pipe for a natural gas line?
