I think that 3/4" pipe has to be used but wait for verification.

Dont think it can be done AFAIK per code..

Additionally you cant just tap into your homes gas line anywhere... You must have enough btus to support the new appliance..

If you dont do the calculation and figure it out then you can starve other appliances of gas.. Such as your furnace. That in turn may cause draft and CO issues..

You can wake up dead as they say....

I realize this is an old thread but anytime you go thru stone or masonary, the pipe has to be sleeved with plastic pipe.

When I ran a gas line to my patio through a concrete basement wall, I used black steel pipe. I didn't even consider anything else.

Hope you put the steel inside plastic (PVC or CPVC) pipe. If not, it's really worth the work it would take to do so.
