the big stuff or specialist is never on shelf due to cost , just installed abou a grands worth of vulcathene but they had that in staock due to it being school closing time

What size pipe and fittings is it?
You can use normal MI or galvanised.
A 6.5m lengtht of 1" mi galv is around 30 odd quid. Split unions are about 3 or 4 and bronze to iron about a pound dearer
You don't need a flat faced. A copper faced standard union is fine
Jet blue all the way. I use straight wrought unions, no bother with a bit of paste!
I thought you weren't allowed to use galvanised on gas
Every riser in the country is galvanised
Use loctite 55 on your threads mate with bit of gas paste ,
like simon says i use bit of paste to aid the seal gas paste on gas but each to their own
It's very late, I'm quite old and I have quaffed getting on for a litre of the red stuff but without
resorting to the regulations I am fairly sure that you can only use one or the other on gas threads
but not both.

Thats what i'd say too. And, only hemp on joints 3" and over which is now all welded anyway!
purge commercial pipes with air??
5-15% explosive ratio ?
isnt that dodgy?
