Look closer - The gas line should enter on the left side of the gas
valve. It is open in the photo, so gas line isn't run yet.
BTW, Galvanized isn't code in my area, but black pipe would be.

| Galvanized isn't code for what? Code doesn't say galv is not allowed on
gas, it's just not preferred.

Read the last line. It does not say galvanized is not allowed, but does say
black is preferred. As I said, it is not allowed by our local inspector in
MA, but it may be in your town. I don't argue with our local guy as it is
easier to do what he wants.
