Depends on the pressure. If you have a 1 or 2 lb meter, at least in
my area, small diameter tubing can be run to all the gas appliances,
provided each appliance has a regulator to get the pressure down to
the proper pressure for each.
BUT - If you have to ask the question, you shouldn't be messing around
with this stuff yourself. Get a licensed, experienced tradesman to do
this work.
