Re: Check my math - Propane vs. NG cost comparison for BBQ Why didn't you use a Brass or Stainless coupling? You already have rust (or what appears to be rust). If it rusts on the inside than some can break off and contaminate equipment downstream like a generater. Personally if it were me I would change it out. It is a good installation and very handy. |

Thanks.  The local propane company did the work and it was inspected by the AHJ. I don't think code requires stainless or brass, just black iron, but I'm not sure. Guess they could have used those materials, but didn't. So far, I've had no problems.
It is a great convenience to have propane always ready for grilling and generator use... and the ability to do both at the same time will be awesome if I want to cook but don't want to heat up the house and still provide power while cooking.  |
