[AT] O.T. propane question

[charlie hill]

They are in the process of putting in Natural Gas lines in my area.
All of their supply piping is plastic but it's very heavy plastic.
I suspect plastic piping is fine but I'd want someone at the gas company
or with a regulatory agency to tell me what kind of plastic pipe to use.

Don't know much about plastic lines Don.  Around here, you can't use 
anything but copper.  My copper ( almost 209-ft) was provided by the propane 
company.

Enjoy, Joe
