So is there a non-paint corrosion inhibitor that can be applied to interior gas piping in NYC without triggering the 90 PSI test requirement?
Cheers, Wayne
NYC has gone crazy with gas regulations that will cost landlords a fortune and place more people at risk then ever before
I worked for a co-op (

They had a company replace several risers and the mains after we located some leaks
The company welded all the piping including 3/4" AMAZING Job
Then they called my company to reinstall the gas stoves
The building department considered each stove a separate work order of about $100 EACH for filing and inspection plus my labor and materials that is 412 apartments plus the gas for some other appliances
They said "too expensive" and only they know who did the installations BUT it was not the piping replacement plumber or my company
The only thing I would try to use to prevent the rust is to use a steel wool pad to wipe off excessive rust then apply WD 40 NOT by the threads.
NYC has a list of master plumbers, engineers, Architects, Master electricians, and fire suppression piping contractors who had their license(S) revoked
