I have a fireplace project that I am working on and I would greatly appreciate some good information/advice before proceeding. My house was built in the 1940′s and has a gas starter wood burning fireplace. The fireplace and hearth were brick tiles laid over deck mud. The gas supply was embedded in the deck mud. My plan is to replace the deck mud for the hearth and just use black refractory cement for the firebox floor, and so the gas supply line will be embedded in the deck mud of the hearth and the refractory cement of the firebox floor. I am concerned about proceeding in this manner as the steel pipe that is there is a little rusted on surface. I don’t know if it has been there since the ’40′s or was put in at some point later. Is this safe to do? Does it meet code? If not, what is the proper thing to do to run a gas line through the deck mud and cement? Thank you in advance.
