[AT] O.T. propane question

[Don Bowen]

We are in the process of building a house.  The house is on a site where 
a double wide sat which we sold.  In the process we had to move the 
propane tank.  I want to run a line from the tank to the house then 
continue on to the garage.  I also want to run a line from the tank to 
the shop.  I have had some experience with plastic lines and think they 
would be a significant savings over Copper.

I have been told I need a high pressure red regulator at the tank and 
lower pressure regulators at the three buildings.  I was also told that 
the risers for the plastic lines require a special tool. Several years 
ago I helped lay some plastic propane lines and the risers just snapped 
on the plastic lines much like Sharkbite on PEX.  Special fittings were 
also mentioned.

Any comments?
