Sheathing is only on the tracer wire buried with it. The lines that I have had exposure to are 100% plastic. In fact, if the tracer wire has been cut you can't even locate the lines and you must dig until you can find the tracer wire to be able to locate it. (I am a former locator and gas was one of my utilities) peace

tmies join:2002-10-11 Champaign, IL	Plastic Gas line is made of HDPE (high density polyethylene). I installed the same material for high pressure CO2 gas a couple years ago. I has a high pressure rating, and typical 5x burst rating, so it is very safe as long as it not punctured. It is naturally black, but has yellow pigment added for nat. gas id. The material with flex metal liner mentioned above is for inside distribution.
