Re: [VACList] New propane lines?

	I would go ahead and just use copper- making sure that you buy
"type K" preferably, or "type L" if you cannot get "K". This will be
refrigeration type tubing- not the typical water pipe stuff sold at
home centers.
	Also- don't use compression fittings- just flare fittings. The
other option would be to use black iron as a manifold just back to the
axles, using black iron "T" fittings with brass mpt/male flare
fittings with copper running from there to the appliances- don't even
think about trying to run the black iron through the floor.

	Current code for RV gas systems does permit copper type K or L
in LP systems on the low pressure side- just not for the high pressure
(tank to regulator) pigtails. The standard setup now is for a flexible
"rubber" (not really rubber) section from the regulator to the
beginning of the "hard" pipe- which can be either copper or black
iron- (typically 3/4" pipe)- then 3/8" copper lines running to each
appliance.
