- All trenches must be 24” deep the entire length and level at all riser locations with no rocks or debris that can damage the pipe in any way. When back-filling, be sure to use clean back-fill material.
- Under certain conditions, the gas line must be installed in a sleeve for additional protection. We ask that you inform your estimator of any concrete that will be poured or any location where the underground line may be subjected to additional weight like a driveway.
- When back-filling a riser, please take extra time in making sure the riser is straight and plum.
