Questions and Answers for HOME-FLEX 2 in. IPS x 100 ft. DR 11 Underground Yellow Polyethylene Gas Pipe

A:  Hi, Tedd - No, the shortest length of our product via The Home Depot is 100'. Some local supply houses, however, may sell it by the foot.

A:  Hi, Josh - You should refer to our HOME-FLEX Design & Installation Manual to more accurately determine your needs. You'll need the distance from the supply to the house (assuming propane unless the meter is a long way from the house); the total BTU/H of all the appliances in the home; and, of course, the capability of the tank or meter.

A:  I used chard pipe from the ground up.

A:  This pipe can 't take sunlight so you need to buy a riser to come out of the ground. The riser should have a threaded connection on the end.

A:  Not in Kerrville. All piping and fittings used on our project had to be purchased outside our trade area.

A:  No, i had to order it. Also had to order some of the fittings.

A:  Limited sizes I believe. It seems they carry 1” but other diameters may have to be ordered and delivered. Use the Home Depot app to see if your locale store has what you need. 

A:  Hi, Samf - Home Depot carries 1/2", 3/4", and 1" HOME-FLEX Underground products in most stores. Anything over 1" is available at homedepot.com and can be delivered directly to your home or your local store.

A:  Hi, Chester - Yes. All our pipe has all the required markings on it.

A:  Hi, Steve - We're a distributor and not set up for direct consumer sales. However, you can order our part number 19-2011500 2" x 500' gas poly pipe at homedepot.com. On line price is $844 per coil with free freight. This is the largest coil we make, so it's advisable that you have them shipped to your local Home Depot store where they have equipment to unload the order as well as to assist loading it in/on your vehicle. Each coil weighs 315 pounds.

A:  Hi, Help - This pipe is designed and tested for use with gas. Using it for anything else would be at your own risk. That being said, since it is a gas-tight system, it would probably work for water as well but, again, it's not tested and certified for use with anything but gas.

A:  Hi, Juan - The answer to your question would depend on the total btu/h of the system, the capability of your meter or tank, and the pressure of the line. Suggest you refer to our System Design & Installation manual available at homeflex.com/resources and refer to the sizing charts. Thanks.

A:  Marc - Home Flex Underground is specifically made for direct burial. No need to run it in a conduit for normal household installations. It should never be used in a building or under a foundation with a structure on it. Further, it should always be at or below local code-mandated burial levels.

A:  You need to follow code I have this in ground as required and in conduit when going under a concrete retaining wall. Some inspectors want that piece to be black cast iron pipe. Remember if you a installing it your responsibility for the leak or any other accident caused by improper installation.

A:  directly in the ground

A:  What is it about this product that dictates that it must be underground. I realize that it is not UV resistant and more puncture prone than iron pipe. But if you put it in UV resistant electrical SCH 40 conduit and clamp it to a wall wouldn't that work?
