gas line

Stove supply pipe

A gas line is a pipe or system of pipes that carries natural gas or other fuel gases from a source to where they're used—furnaces, stoves, water heaters.

The contractor installed a new gas line to the kitchen.

Gas line also refers to the fuel line in a vehicle's engine.

In a different sense, a gas line is a queue of cars waiting at a filling station, memorable from the 1970s fuel crises: Gas lines stretched around the block.
