I understood that... and just like the telephone company agreement... totally useless.

They add it to the bill and I imagin you can opt out but gas companies means more as a homeowner since the phone lines never blow up unless it is 2012.

And when it does "blow up", their responsibility ends with replacing that 3ft section of black iron piping.

Actually the nice thing is you can call them for an emergency.

I discovered pin hole leaks when working for Sears in elbows that were provided me and it ended up being a big recall.

I was confused by the leakage showing with my bubble test and called Peoples gas getting me chewed out at first.

Now that I think about it that may have been my first big inspection.

I think we all know that the dryer venting is unacceptable and the gas line in the photo should have been black iron pipe to be in the wall with no joints allowed.
Copper pipe shall not be used if the gas contains more than an average of 0.3 grains of hydrogen sulfide per 100 scf of gas. Gas tubing shall be of type K or type L.
Piping installed aboveground shall be securely supported and located where it is protected from physical damage.
To meet that requirement in the above photo, it should of been black iron schedule 40 pipe.

Yous Ladies talking about copper gas lines makes me smile every time I read these type of post. If yous only knew how much money I have made in past years from replacing gas control valves that were stopped up beyond repair with black oxide scaling as the result of copper piping used as natural gas lines. BTW Okla gas companies finally outlawed the use of copper. If the gas company observes copper they will not turn the gas on until replaced

Same here Charley.
