CSST & Romex in same conduit

[sammm]

I'm building a BBQ grill island (metal studs and cement board) on my back patio. The grill will be natural gas, and I plan to run a 20 amp GFCI circuit for a mini-fridge and 1 or 2 extra outlets. I have a plumber lined up to run the gas line using 'black flex' pipe. (I did some searches and found a product called TracPipe)

My plan is to run the electric and gas across the attic and drop it down the eave (1-story house) of the outside patio wall. I'd like the gas and electric in the same conduit if possible.

Thoughts?

Cannot put Romex underground or outside, whether in conduit or not. Need to use UF instead.

Thanks Charles.

So how about UF and CSST in PVC conduit together?

I would separate them, but the person to talk to would be the local permit office. If there is a building code against it they would know.

Thanks guys...I think I will separate them, but will cover the PVC conduit with a piece of aluminum or something to hide them. Here's a pic of the layout, with 2 black lines representing the conduit.

That's going to be a nice BBQ setup. Agree will completely seperate runs.

If you have full attic access, I'd opt for safer black pipe steel (with contracter grade length 21 ft sticks) over the TracPipe which is just CSST. Once that NG line is outside house, I would absolutely go with surface mounted black pipe steel for NG to the BBQ. You don't want that TracPipe rusting out on exterior of house.

Keep the pics coming as want to see how it turns out!

Looks like the Underground System PS-II would work better. It is good underground, on the roof, and on the side of the structure.

Run romex in the attic box, then transition to individual THHN conductors in Gray PVC and run down the wall and sweep underground and up to another sweep to an other box at the BBQ. Then to what ever in Gray PVC boxes and devices.

A piece of linehide that is used to cover A/C linesets would work nice to cover that up.
