Running gas line

[Mike_Thorp]

I am running gas line for my permanant and a resort owner told me to run the line on the outside, but the more I look at other fish house’s they are almost all ran on the inside? Does it make a difference or any input? Thanks for any info or ideas

Welcome to LSF! Thanks for taking the time to become a part of the increasing family of fishing and outdoor entheusists.

Though Im not a permanent house owner, friends that have them all swear by running the line along the inside ceiling: which is the warmest area and pre-warms the LP making it burn more effeciently.

Well my .02 would tell you to run it on the outside. I know that by running it on the inside it warms the pipes and it burns more efficiantly, but then theres the problem of a gas leak. by running it on the outside of the walls especially with a permanent house that will be bounced around because if a line were to start leaking the gas would be escaping outside and not inside. It might smell but then again wat if your sleeping, i would reccomend running it on the outside, again jsut my .02.

Run them inside the house. Rubber LP hose is the best and will not crack or break. This forums sponsor Fish House Supply has them for sale. Follow this link to them http://fishhousesupply.com/lpaccessories.htm

Excellent info!
I never thought about the copper flexing when traveling and rubber is a great solution. Are there worries about mice chewing the rubber lines?

The mice would find much more enjoyable things to eat in your Fish House before chewing on a Lp hose.
Besides. don’t store it so mice can get in it. There would be other worries, like furnace wiring etc.

Run it on the inside. I’ve never seen it run on the outside other than the little bit that connects to the tank.
I used copper and that is all our crew uses. Not to say that rubber wouldn’t be a good idea, but copper will be fine too.
Every fishhouse should have a carbon monoxide detector in it anyway.
If you run it on the outside, it’s gonna have alot better chance of breaking or leaking than on the inside.

Personally running gas lines on the inside sounds like a bad idea to me.Kind of like checking for gas leaks with a match.I ran mine outside up under the eves and down to the heater,gas lights,stove etc.

Castaway, You’ll love this then ” title=”” class=”bbcode_smiley” />

When I built my fishhouse last year, I built my tank storage on the inside. So the tank and hose are both inside. I drilled a hole in the side of the house and hooked up a computer fan that blows out. The fan sucks the air from the compartment out.

I also put a small slider window by the head of the bunk and always keep the window open, and I have abattery operated Co2 detector/smoke alarm close by.

The hell with art, lets rock

You can do it any way you want but seeing as these things are getting pulled around I think it is safer to have as much line as you can on the outside.Besides that it is one less thing to get in the way on the inside.But its your house and you can do what you want.

[Mike_Thorp]

Thanks for all the input!! I think I will follow castaways lead and go on the outside.

Woodboy you are brave or crazy dont know which?

Run it on the inside. Running the gas lines on the outside could be damaged when moving around your shack or banking it with snow. If any gas lines leak on the inside you will smell it before you light your appliances, unless you can’t smell.
