GI pipe is good enough, there no water only gas, won't clog the GI pipes.

After many yrs, it will clog also. But clog the valve O ring and stuck the nozzle. GI is using because it cheaper.

Doing a lot using GI pipe as gas piping. Even for bigger gas pipe which using flange to joint.

The best is still the copper pipe. And for easy work, just use the flexible copper pipe. Cause the diameter is just fit nice to the hose. And tighten with the hose clip.

I still prefer using rubber hose.
Mine already last for 8.5 years and never leak.
The best way to make the hose last long is depressurize it and remove the head from cylinder.
LPG have some impurities inside, so it may corrode the metal piping over the time.

Mine says otherwise.
Using copper for 8 yeas too. The rubber hose need replacement ea 3 years++
There is a tint of gas stink in the kitchen when the hose get stiffens

How long it last very much depend on the vapour content in the pipe. Who will open out the GI pipe and check. Most of the people don't no and thaught the burner have problem when the

1) turn the knob higher to get more frame
2) yellow frame
3) totally no frame.

But this is very easy DIY. Just unscrew the nozzle, knock the nozzle till the dirt out. If too stubborn use a needle or what ever match the nozzle size hole, poke into it. But don't poke too hard till the hole big. Some of this nozzle is make of copper.

For o ring, change it, oil it and clean the internal.

I not sure here. But what I experience in spore HDB is using GI pipe.

For factory yes. Most of it. For bigger size that have big gas tank in factory which need bigger pipe, Steel pipe is use. Joint is weld with flange and screw and nut is use.

Copper is use when near to burner and around it.

Any copper size 1/8 is ok. The gas hose internal diameter is just nice to fix in. Use hose clip to secure it.

Don't forget to test with soap water and pressure it for sometime for leaking test.
