From what materials are LP-Gas piping systems commonly constructed?

LP-Gas piping systems are typically constructed from materials that can withstand the pressure and corrosive nature of liquefied petroleum gas. Steel is the most commonly used material due to its strength and durability, making it highly effective for managing the pressures involved in LP-Gas systems. Copper is also used in some applications, especially for smaller diameter tubing, since it offers good resistance to corrosion and is relatively easy to work with for certain installations.

The choice of these materials reflects industry standards and safety requirements, as they help to ensure a reliable and leak-proof system. Plastic, rubber, aluminum, PVC, wood, and ceramic are not suitable for LP-Gas applications due to their inability to handle high pressure, potential for degradation, or lack of structural integrity when exposed to the conditions present in an LP-Gas system.
