I am about to begin on my propane lines. I plan to use black pipe under the trailer. My question- Can I add 90 degree elbows to the straight run of that pipe ? To get from the front of the camper to where it needs to come up under my stove means I need to make a turn.
Wondering if elbows are ok??
Thanks !!

Yes, you can add black iron elbows, tees and 45s under the trailer. Be sure to use Rector seal 5 and yellow tape on the threads.
If you are going up into the trailer, use copper tubing rather than black iron. Start with a brass 3/8 flare fitting at the black iron and flare the tubing to allow the nuts to seal the tubing. Tighten snugly and carefully. Do not over tighten. When done, test with leak detector solution and tighten a little as you go. Once the bubbles stop, it's good.
