Recessed Lights And NatGas
Any thoughts on installing a recessed light in the same joist bay as a natural gas line? Have been able to avoid it until now. Thanks in advance.

Re: Recessed Lights And NatGas
I wouldn't have any issue with installing a recessed light in the same bay as black iron gasline. Consider the proximity of that gasline to the open flame of a furnace.

Re: Recessed Lights And NatGas
If the line is physically preventing you from installing the lights where desired or required, contact a licensed plumber and have the line rerouted. If you're concerned about the can light being close, or against, the line, that's not an issue.
