It appears the Water heater is in the Garage (the model I stayed in during my visit ) The only other possible gas fired equipment would be the stove or maybe AC unit .from what I saw the AC units are Electric --and I dont think anyone is cooking in the attic...
What am I mising ?

The heat, hot water, dryer and stove in my house are gas. The line runs through the attic, and is flex pipe where it is visible. I had A1-Lightning install a lightning protection system that grounds the gas line and the meter, along with multiple rods on the roof. I have gained some peace of mind as a result.
If you did change out the pipe, I agree with Frank above, you would use black pipe, not galvanized. It's not suitable for gas for sme reason. At least not in NY.
I would still want the LPS as the roof is still a target.
Why did they run them thru the attic? It must be less expensive.
