natural gas line

Underground methane pipe

A natural gas line is a pipe that carries natural gas from its source to homes, businesses, or industrial facilities.

The term usually refers to the buried pipes running to and through buildings: The contractor hit a natural gas line while digging.

Larger transmission lines, called pipelines, move gas across long distances from wells to distribution networks.
