Hello;
I'm running a new gas line to my outdoor grill, 24" deep. I've never buried gas pipe before. I've installed quite a bit of black iron inside, and am completely comfortable with laying and fitting the pipe, including pressure testing the system. It is also legal here to perform the work on your own property.
The AHJ here said they don't require black iron to be protected with any type of extra coating or wrap before it's buried. However, I am concerned about it rusting out, I've read of a several people that have had black iron rust out after several years in ground.
Does a wrap significantly extend the life of buried black iron? Is there a particular wrap material you recommend?
I can get CSST if it would be significantly better than black iron for a direct burial application.
Thanks
Jamie
