Can you use soft solder on fuel gas lines?

Using soft solder on fuel gas lines is not permissible due to the high risk of potential leaks and hazards that can arise. Soft solder is generally not strong or durable enough to create a secure and reliable joint under the pressures and conditions found in gas systems. Instead, approved methods for joining pipes in fuel gas lines typically include techniques such as threaded connections or brazing, which provide the required strength and integrity.

The specific materials and methods used for gas line installations are regulated to ensure safety, efficiency, and compliance with local codes. By using the appropriate techniques specified in regulations, the risk of gas leaks is minimized, protecting both property and individuals from the dangers of fuel gas.
