Here in Los Angeles, black iron pipe is used for
gas inside the buildings. I have run several
lines, and had them inspected, and all was well.
I think for some reason that galvanized is not to
code, and I also think copper is not to code (I
surely could be wrong).
I am certain, though, that burying black pipe is
not to code, and I think the city uses some
plastic pipe on large rolls, though I do not know
if it is pvc.
Like someone suggested, I would call the county or
city and find out what is specified locally.
