Home Improvement Asked by Jake Hassings on June 19, 2021
I’m getting new gas service (Nat. Gas, M425, 1-1/4") installed. Big Box Store doesn’t sell 1-1/4" black pipe (only 1"), but they do sell 1-1/4" galvanized. Can I run galvanized for mainline (from exterior protruding nipple for meter connection, then run up and through the attic) and branch off using smaller 1" black iron pipe, manifolds, and fittings or CSST and fittings? I’ve heard common folklore regarding galvanized, but I’m looking for cited code violations.
I’ve tried to thoroughly review UPC and IRC codes, but everything seems to point to no issues using black iron, galvanized, or CSST [1], but I couldn’t find anything mentioning a mix of them.
What I know so far from my research:
Code should be relevant to my locale: Snohomish County, Washington State, USA.
[1] IRC G2414.42(403.4.2), ASTM A 43/A 53M: https://up.codes/viewer/washington/irc-2015/chapter/24/fuel-gas#G2414.4.2
This specification covers seamless and welded black and hot-dipped galvanized steel pipe in NPS 1/8 to NPS 26
