Contractor Pipe And Supply

Can I use stainless pipe for underground gas line in my backyard?

I am having my contractor install a gas powered fire pit in my backyard and am supplying the material. My question is can I use schedule 40 stainless pipe and stainless fittings instead of the standard galvanized pipe? I never want to dig a 30ft. trench two feet deep again and feel like I won’t have to if I put stainless pipe in. I am not worried about cost because I can buy the pipe at cost and the $100 difference is worth the labor savings.

Stainless can be used for anything. Schedule 40 is same as the black iron you would use. The black iron pipe that is reccomended has a plastic coating and you wrap the joints with this really good tape and it lasts forever also. Just pay atention to the joints and use good pipe dope because it is dificult to get good threads with stainless unless you use a good threader. An advantage of stainless over plastic is you won’t damage stainless schedule 40 with a shovel or tiller. BTW most areas won’t allow galvanize or copper because the natural gas has sulphur in it and sulphur corrades both.
