        I am hooking up a propane heater to my swimming pool and I want to bury the gas line so I can put the propane tank away from the heater. What kind of piping do I need to use?

          Contact your fuel supplier to find the following.

          1- What is the actual pressure you will need at the appliance

          2- What is the actual BTU input needed at this heater

          3- What type of piping materials are approved in your area with this type of fuel

          4- What provisions DEPTH is required for a frost line and or pipe protection by local codes

          5- What is the total length of piping required from the appliance to the actual tank? ( We call this pressure drop)

          Your local supplier can either size this up for you or give you the name of a Qualified gas fitter
