Re: [VACList] Running Propane lines.



Lee,
 I'd sure like to know the basis for your advisors telling you that copper
is unsuitable for natural gas. Those flex lines that are used to connect
household appliances are copper. I wouldn't use them in a trailer because I
suspect that the vibration over time would cause them to break.

Either the soapy water or pressure drop test will work fine. If you use the
latter, be certain that the stove pilot light is turned off, or it'll bleed
down the pressure, simulating a leak. Don't use a match to check for leaks!
(yeah, I know that "everyone knows better", but there are always a few that
don't)
