Conduit Run near gas meter & pipes

[Ralf11]

Can I run a 110 line in conduit near a gas meter and its pipes?

I want to extend a run on an exterior wall of my house....

2nd question: can I then continue that run along a slab and concrete stem wall for a carport and come up next to a vehicle with a post that has an outlet on it? (for a battery maintainer if nothing else)

I want to build either a carport or garage on top of slab when I get some more buckaroonies so I'd like to make sure I pan for the future too...

Yes you can,Just make sure to use the right fittings and boxes for anything exterior mounted.

Gas meter has to 3' from a potential source of ignition. Google the national fuel gas code it clarifies different scenarios.

^ ^ ^ Generally yes, but as above the "clearance area" which is 3 ft.

Fundamental QUESTIONS first . . . .

. . . WHAT wire you running for electrical on exterior of house ?? Any buried ??

. . . Is it tied to GFCI circuit ?? You'll need one of those weatherproof boxes too.

. . . If it's going to detached "building," there can only be 1 power source to building.

. . . If building garage soon, why not just outside extension cord for battery tender ??

I dont consider a piece of conduit to be an ignition source,As long as a box isnt sitting right on top of it you should be fine.

Have the gas utility co. come out and take a look at what you plan on doing. Should be a free call. They are the governing authority. I have been involved in many a gas meter being moved at owners expense for the 3' rule. Simple

As mentioned your local utility will have the final say. As an example, I'm enclosing a diagram from my local utility that shows their clearance requirements.
