How bad are galvanized pipes for natural gas?
I'm buying a condo in Providence, RI. The place has old galvanized natural gas pipes. It seems like most houses in this area have the same type of pipes, and the real state agents / sellers say that it's fine to have them. However, the inspector say that it's really bad since the pipes will erode and clog (zinc reacting with gas).
Can anybody point out if this is ok/tolerable/bad and why? (also, is it legal to keep using galvanized pipes in Providence, RI?)
