Water Valve On Gas Line

[John McKenna]

No sense in letting a perfectly good water valve go to waste
when you can use it on a natural gas line to the fire place.

I found this yesterday at a home inspection.

Is there a problem with galvanized gas pipes in Texas and Canada?

[Bob Elliott]

Russel ..you may be right on that as I believe cost is the only defect with using galvanized for gas if memory serves me.

Some areas do not like galvized gas piping as sometimes the galvinized interior flakes and is not good for orifiices. Teflon tape is probably worse, it just flys right by drip/dirt legs.

And I am still not sure why the globe valve pictured is just for water, is it labeled that way?

You can not use white teflon tape in Canada . If you are using teflon it must be yellow, or gas approved thread compond.

Nope. Mercaptain (the stick additive in NG) is acidic and will eat through the zinc coating im galvanized pipe.
