Hello,
I am considering installing a gas line so that I can run my kitchen range on propane. The rest of the home will use electricity. The house is currently in design phase so I am interested in hearing suggestions on how this is typically done. I am assuming the piping will exit at the foundation level. Also, I don’t want to have a large tank. It will be a small tank that I can take and get refilled myself.
Here are my questions:
1. What components are needed? What type of piping? What fittings?
2. What is the ideal location for an external tank?
3. Is the code (distance from windows) fairly standardized?
4. Can I build a small cavity with a cover and bury a small tank instead of keeping next to the house? (I do know that larger tanks are commonly buried)
Thanks in advance.
