Properly rated galvanized pipe can be used for propane and not natural gas in some places. Some states do not allow galvanized pipe for any gas. Most rv manufactures and most accepted method is to use black iron outside and copper inside, because rv’s travel state to state.
Thank you for your video, super helpful. I have been contemplating replacing my very old propane lines to run two separate tanks, for for a cook stove & 1 for my Mr. Buddy heater.
If you do not like pipe tape for sealing gas lines,try Rectoreseal #5 Yellow Pipe Joint compound. Leave top thread bare so you will not contaminate inside of pipe.
Good video I’m not sure but I don’t think galvanized pipe is used for propane purposes. I believe it should be black pipe. Believe me I am not a professional but from my experience it has always been black pipe.
Your information, effort and time is appreciated. However consider this: Your regulator is mounted horizontal. Your screened breather vent and internal diaphragm are directed forward into oncoming highway weather conditions. Your regulator is designed to be installed vertical-down to avoid falling rain and dirt. Manufacturers recommend replacement of regulators that have had the diaphragm exposed to any water/rain and dirt. Perhaps you'll create a video on how to correctly fabricate and install something to protect that vent from the highway elements.. Thanks for the info.
@@westcoast_johnny Like everything today it - $$$ - but they are very efficient and have a low setting that wound be good for your small Scamp. Check around you may find a better price. Enjoy your posts, really you've put a lot of work in it.
Hi Michaela, if you have an LP dryer that runs on propane you would need a third propane line, and a 3 way splitter instead of a 2. Thank you and I hope this helps!
Don't listen to every one in the comments section,Stainless can be used as gas line, look into some stuff called home flex or better known as CSST it's stainless gas line
Galvanized pipe is not "stainless." It is coated with zinc, I believe, to reduce corrosion, but gas eats through it. Stainless would be OK, but ain't nobody got $$$ for heavy, thick-walled stainless pipe.

Hello everyone, I realized I made an error in the video, I meant to say ‘flared’ fitting instead of ‘compression’ fitting.

Awesome Corky, glad I could help.👍🏼
Very helpful, thank you for showing a detailed instal.
Awesome Lindsey!
Thanks for explaining so good this really helps us on our build.
You’re welcome, thanks for viewing!

Thanks for the tip, I’ll try it. 👍🏼
Thank you! Your videos give me confidence to tackle my project. 😊
Camp Boulder, thank you for the compliment! 👍🏼
What happened to all you "likes." I'm sure tons of people gave them. This was really good, clear info on the different connectors. Thanks!
Thank you very much.
Plumbing your tank in is the only way to go because those rv rubber lines always leak at the swivel points.
Good video

Hi Guy, thank you! I had the guy at Dixjeline Hardware help me. He assembled the pieces, maybe he doesn’t know. I’ll check into it, thanks again. 👍🏼
Galvanized is water pipe. They call the black gas pipe schedule 40. Hope that helps.
So I happen to be correct? Black pipe is used for LP lines not galvanized pipe.
Glad I could help!!
@@westcoast_johnny its fine! Black is not required for gas!

Thank you B Pow for that information, I’d like to make a shield, and correct the angle of the regulator.
That vintage jacket is killer !
Glad you like it Frank! 👍🏼
I'm trying to find the fitting to fit my lp withdrawal connection on my bulk tank it's really getting confusing
Thanks for the LP lesson
Any time! Have a great day Roy
Actually with gas the tape is yellow. That white stuff is for water.
@@randallgoguen3463 that’s what I figured. 👍🏼
It was the guy at the hardware store, he “seemed” to know what he was talking about.
Have you checked into a Wave 3 heater in that spot ?
Hi Allen, no I haven’t heard of those. I’ll check them out, thank you. 👍🏼

It would be an easy fix to cut a couple inches off the bottom of that closet door to be able to open it with the heater below it.
Very impressive
Thank you Frank!
Thank you so much!
No, thank you for watching! 👍🏼👍🏼
perfect
Thank you Mpalas! 👍🏼
I do not believe galvanized pipe is appropriate for gas use. I think it should be black iron pipe if you want strong and rigid pipe.
Absolutely galvanized pipe flakes with even slight gas pressure and can contaminate gad appliances. Easy code violation
Never use galvanized pipe, it doesn’t meet UPC code. Use black pipe for gas. Can you get away with it? Probably, but it’s not the preferred type
Your tank is suppose to be either siler/white/or grey to help reflect heat also. Somd propane fill ups won't even touch it
I’ve had no problems having it filled, At one time Coleman made a dark green propane tank.
what ifvyouvalso have a dryer?

don't think csst can be used in RVs. know people throw a fit if it outside even if it's per regs of the state.
make sure you disconnect the plumbing from the tank before driving
