Re: [VAL] Installing my new (to me) Humphrey gas light.



    Forrest,

    Er, ah....I think they might be referring to a special type of tubing.

    This is what they say under the heading of Copper Gas Tubing.  "Copper
gas tubing must be internally tinned to meet National Gas Code Standards
unless otherwise directed by local authorities".

    And elsewhere under the heading of Copper Tubing it says, "Internally
tinned copper tubing, 3/8-inch outside diameter, is recommended.  Copper
tubing must be internally tinned to meet National Fuel Gas Code unless
otherwise directed by local codes".

    Does propane harden copper making it brittle or some other way damage
it?  

    Now that I look at this seven page document I see that there is no web
site information on it so it must be a pdf that I printed.  I can fax it to
anyone interested. 

    Later,

    Glyn
