The product is fine quality and easy to install. Delivery arrival was a little slow but that's no reflection on the quality of the material.

    Easy to install. A bit pricey for all the fittings, but then again, you don't need a plumber or special tools to install it.

    70 year old 1" steel main gas line between our home and the meter by the street recently began to leak. The run is about 30'. Got some estimates from local plumbers between $1800 and $5000. We have some plants and flagstones to navigate so no ditch witch rental would suffice, so I asked our gardener his fee to do the trench and put back $600. Parts Riser Bent $70, Straight transition $40, 1" Pipe $66 and 2 x straight connectors $35, $11 50' if 14 gauge stranded wire for tracing pipe dope... Tools PVC Cutter or pex cutter, permanent marker a couple of pipe wrenches Total ~$260+tax for parts and perhaps 3 hours to connect both ends...The pipe was hard to wrestle single handed so my spouse and I wrestled to stretch out and get the pipe into the trench...Did a pex hot water re-pipe a few years ago and this 1" IPS gas pipe is much more rigid (= harder to work with) compared to pex Total cost ~$900 and some sweat equity I noticed the printing on the riser and the straight steel transition is melted into the plastic not just printed, and I was concerned that this might create a leak as noted by others... Thankfully No leaks Poly gas pipe is supposed to last 50-100 years the connectors are warranted for 1 year. I got some sand to cushion the pipe as a partial protection from rocks in the soil shortening life Did a pex hot water re-pipe a few years ago and this pipe is much more rigid and still than pex Note about the store The inventory at the Camarillo Store was not right they were out of things that were listed in stock online, so I needed to visit another store to get everything I needed to getterdun.

    Hi yojamey. Regarding the heat stamped markings in the yellow poly gas pipe. These markings are a requirement of the standard that this pipe and fittings are manufactured to. ASTM D2513. The marking must meet the standard's definition of "permanent." Our fittings are designed to seal around these heat stamped markings. This gas pipe is shipped in coils. Prior to installing it, it is helpful to lay the pipe out in the sun to help it relax. Carefully cut the tapes that hold the coils together and you will see it unwind slightly like a spring. If you have a helper, you can pull on opposite ends of the pipe for a few minutes. This will help the pipe to relax further and be even easier to work with. For additional installation tips, give me a call. I am here from 8-5 Los Angeles Time M-F. (661) 257-3923. Ask for Jon. ValenciaPipe

      Yes our fittings do cost more than simple iron fittings, but they are competitively priced with other gas compression fittings and stab fittings. Unlike stab fittings, our HOME-FLEX Underground fittings do not require the purchase of a chamfering tool. Plus, they are removeable and reusable. Overall our fittings offer a better value.

      They get you selling the pipe, it’s very cost effective, so you think you have a great, easy to work with solution, until you buy the fittings. 2 transition fittings cost more than 100’ of the pipe. Add in the unions, and now you’ve spent as much as you would have to run black steel.

      Yes our fittings do cost more than simple iron, but these fittings offer benefits far beyond black iron fittings. Please keep in mind that black iron pipe is far more difficult to handle, transport, store, cut and fit than the poly pipe and fittings. Plus, the poly gas pipe and fittings will not rust in the ground like black iron pipe and fittings. The little bit more that you spend on the HOME-FLEX Underground fittings is offset by how little you pay for the poly gas pipe compared to the black iron pipe. Poly pipe and fittings are approved for "direct burial" whereas iron pipe and fittings must be wrapped. When you compare the longevity and ease of installation of poly pipe and fittings to black iron, you find that poly is by far the better value. ValenciaPipe
