I have seen such setups in southwestern New York state. My brother was
involved with a large old house that had, what was to me, a very scary setup.
All the gas burners were plumbed in using black plastic water pipe into what
must have been circa 1880's gas heaters. No safety pilots, just a pilot light
and a valve for turning the gas up and down.
