I am installing a brown enamel Jøtul GF400 natural gas heating stove over a Pennsylvania bluestone hearth in a 125 year old northern Pennsylvania victorian home . I’d like to use brass not black pipe. The pipe will come up from a basement through a refinished white oak floor, hit a gas cock then an elbow to run horizontally behind the stove. Very simple set up. But Braxton Harris couldn’t help and local custom top-tier stove retailers said they have no idea, “no one ever asked before”. I guess everyone just runs black pipe with a yellow plastic valve handle?! For the love of Pete, where can I find a retailer that has this vintage-era-looking high quality pipe and valve? Am I looking for a gas cock or a petcock? It’s standard 1/2” coming up and ending at 3/8” for the stove connection. Thanks for any information or suggestions. George (Wellsboro, PA)
Vintage gas valves?
