This material is new to me, so I thought I'd best ask.
One end is tapped off at the exterior just downstream of the gas meter, the other end is connected to a fixed exterior BBQ. Around 5 feet is exposed above ground at the meter (seems wrong to me, as it's a location where such damage by lawnmowers, weed wackers, foot traffic etc.), about 20 feet is buried in an unknown depth running the rest of the way the barbecue.
1) What's this material called, and is approved for this application?
2) If it is approved does anyone have a link to the manufacturer's installation instructions?
3) Generally, what/where are the code reference(s) for this type of installation?
4) About a foot down from the connection that the meter, a portion of the line is wrapped in what appears to be electrical tape. Is this just a kludge, or is this some sort of special tape approved to do whatever it's doing (plugging a leak? Weather protection for some kind of connector?) .
Thanks as always....
