Would you do this at baseboard level and have a short section visible outside at ground level or would it be feasible to cut a small section of the lanai slab out and patch it after running the drain pipe below floor level? This would mean (I think) cutting into the footer at the edge of the lanai (assuming the lanai has a footer).

Also, what is the size of the propane tank that would be installed? I guess the line to the tank could be run with the drain line.

The size of the propane tank is up to you. We buried a 250 GL tank during new construction because we will use it for the spa heater, outside grill and kitchen range. Ours is buried on the side of the house near the lanai where the spa, grill and kitchen are located. The only thing visible is a green cover in the grass which 12 to 18 inches in diameter. Under this cover are the gages, valves and fill connection. Suburban is our propane supplier and they park on the street and run the hose to the tank fill connection. Suburban did an inspection on the entire system before they fill the tank the first time.
