The lifespan of a gas line depends on the material it’s made of:
- Depending on soil conditions and maintenance, black steel pipes can last 50 to 100 years.
- Galvanized steel pipes: These typically last 20-50 years but are prone to corrosion and are no longer used for new installations.
- Copper pipes can last 50 years or more with proper installation and maintenance.
- Corrugated Stainless Steel Tubing (CSST): These newer flexible gas lines typically last 30 years or more.
*We recommended that you have your gas lines inspected every 2-3 years.
