The home originally had a single propane tank that served the clothes dryer, and the cooking stove. We have since changed from oil heat to propane heat, and sometime this summer, the underground 1000 gallon tank will be installed. Presently, the heat is serviced by separate tanks, and when they did the iron piping, they left a stub to connect the rest of the house to. Problem is that at a certain point, I have copper running inside the walls, and I need to hook that up to the new iron piping. When I installed a new cook stove, I piped that with iron and connected it up to the original copper piping. Today, I removed the stub, and started installing the iron pipe, and hooked it up to the gas dryer without any problems. The problem comes with the stove, since that iron piping is at a different height than the new iron piping. I can use a union and a couple of elbows, *******, etc. to make the connection, but it is going to be a hassle, since I don't have a pipe threading machine. I was thinking of joining the two ends of the iron pipe with a short piece of flared copper tubing, like what was originally done in the home. Do you see this as a good and viable solution? The only other choice would be to make multiple trips to HD to have pipe cut and threaded, as I work toward the two ends meeting.
