should i chose black pipe nipples for gas piping
(OP)
i have shifted to a new home and wondering which piping connection will suits best for my requirement. I have been using black pipe nipples from shanghai rolling threads since past 2 years and it worked perfectly fine for me. It just need to ask that either black pipes works exactly the same for water piping or should i choose some other option.

Galvanized only for Water
Using Galvanized on gas can result in zinc debris ending up clogging a valve or nozzle in your gas appliance.

As a side note, I grew up in a house with galvanized and black steel pipe for water and gas. No problems that I remember.
