Gas Line Canada

[ace_cobra101]

HI all,
Im installing a big maxx 50,000 btu propane heater. I have the tanks, the copper pipe fitting and all. But I am having trouble finding the flexible yellow line at a supply store. Anyone able to help? Im in NS

I believe the yellow is for natural gas. You can use black iron to mate up to the copper. The black iron needs to used inside, the copper outside.

I'm not sure if you can use the new corrigated stainless steel inside with copper.

Try Menards if you have one there ? But it's not something I would use.

Look in Home Depot and lowes It's called an appliance install kit

Ok ill look at home depot. I dont have a Menards here, but we have a 'Kents' and 'home depot'. So far havent had any luck. What is the size thread to mate into the unit

 

[ace_cobra101]

Is there a specific name to the line? I need something flexible to withstand the vibrations

Since you are a hard working diYer and live in the socialist republic of Canada, you need to find yourself somebody that is in the gas business. He wiill have to buy this for you from an approved supplier. If it can't be found at Home Cheapo or Walmart, you can't have it. Head across the border. The Menards and such will surely help you out. Good luck sir.

And what about the attachment for the propane tank itself?

how about an RV store.
the big RV dealer around here has a huge inventory of propane stuff!

I believe the yellow is for natural gas. ...

Not that I know of, and mine is yellow (propane)

OP: the line used to install my heater was made in Canada! I'm sure it's there but may be a trade item only (sold only to licensed installers?)
