Re: Water Heater
G2413.5 (403.5) Metallic tubing. Seamless copper,aluminum,or streel tubing shall be permitted to be used with gasses not corrosive to such material.
G2413.5.2 (403.5.2)Copper tubing shall comply with standard Type K or L of ASTM B88 or ASTM B280.
Copper and brass tubing shall not be used if the gas contains more than an average of 0.3 grains of hydrogen sulfide per 100 standard cubic feet of gas.
Unless I can verify all that (unless I am reading in all the wrong areas) I write up copper pipe being used anywhere inside a home (basement, living area, attic) . Every time I have, a plumber changed it out.
Please anyone add input because this is what I was told and or read or tested on for years. I would like to know your opinions. The substance put into natural gas is sulfides so yo can smell it unless I am reading it wrong as well. Like I said I would like advise on this subject.

I am very rusty on codes. That is one reason I came to this site and also started reading the books again. Slacking off I guess. Need to brush up. A lot!!!!!
