Just got turned down on a gas line. It is a combination of black iron pipe and Gastite.
The reason for the red tag?
He wants my gas line to be marked every 3 feet with a yellow tag that says Gas on it in black letters.
No stinking way will I comply.
The code says:
And where did the 3 foot requirement come from anyways?
I will not comply. He will allow my code compliant work to pass or face the legal consequences. Thankfully on this job, we have a few months to play with so I have that in my favor.
First step? I placed a call to his supervisor. My bet is that this will stop right there. But we shall see.

The code says:
Well, he wants it on the black pipe and on the Gastite. I screwed up and did not have my fuel gas code with me. He wouldn't get his out. Said this is the code and that is what I have to do if I want it to pass. The code plainly says black pipe is exempt. And the Gastite already is marked "Gas" on a yellow label at intervals lees than 5 feet.For other than black steel pipe, exposed piping shall be identified by a yellow label marked "Gas" in black letters. The marking shall be spaced at intervals not exceeding 5 feet (1524 mm).
