Not being harsh, but this is the home you had inspector problems with and they let it fly like that?
You might try as I did, I had my local gas company run 250 of the proper line and correct ends and to code and the cost wasnt too crazy.
Yep same place but nothing was ever said about the gas lines, just the foundation. I don't recall seeing the tape on the gas line before we bought it but it took so long for the deal to go through who knows what happened and we didn't get a final walk through either. Oh well, we still would have bought the place though because we love it here so much and nothing else came close to what we wanted.
First off the gas poly pipe is not by code allowed to be layed on top of the ground. It is for direct bury use. When you come out of the ground you need to use the special metal ends to make a connection to the house pipe or appliance you are feeding.
So if you had this pipe exposed at the time of your inspection your inspector was very lax in doing his job.
That kind of work would get you a big failure sticker upon inspection here in New Jersey.
