Jim,

Glad to see the pros chiming in. This will only make these threads better. Thanks for the tip. I used standard sized gas pipes (4 and 10' sections) to keep it simple and my supply end connection came down between wall studs. I did not wish to just use wall anchors through the drywall to secure the pipe so, I will place a 1x4 between two studs beneath the supply connection and anchor the pipe to this board for a solid attachment.
