Earnie Member   Join Date: Jan 2008 Posts: 355	Propane Tank Pipe I have two questions about buried residential propane pipe. Does code require a tracer wire along side a buried plastic propane pipe? Does code require warning tape above a buried propane pipe. I know code requirements vary per jurisdiction. Just would like to know the general requirements.
