I have a question about specifics regarding underground natural gas line piping. Once the ground thaws, I will be treching from my outdoor brewery to my house to connect in to the natural gas line. I will "assist" with the process but most likely will not do the work myself on this one.
I would, however, like to limit the amount of labor involved by preparing the trench and anything else that may be needed. I have a couple of options for the process. The closest source for my run would be at the back of my house. I have a pipe stubbed out from the back of my house (in the wall) for a NG BBQ. I could trench to the area and core drill under the house to gain access to the pipe. There is plenty of room to work underneath my house. My only concern is connecting into a NG underneath my house. The idea of any possible leaks concerns me.
Option B would be treching over to the side of the house where the meter is. This is around 50 - 60 extra feet. Can this be "split" at the meter prior to where it is piped through the wall? My thought would be splitting at the meter and running straight down outside the wall and into the trench. Of cource, what I have learned is what seems logical isn't always code. The only reason I like the "outdoor" idea is there is nothing new being run underneath my house.
Anyone have experience with this?
