Depending which country you live in will depend on depth. Consulte your local municipality for the laws applying to you. In South Africa, depending on the size, Diameter of pipe, less than 75mm, not less than 650mm below the surface of the ground. More than 75mm but less than 110mm, not less than 1500 below the surface of the ground. More than 110mm, not less than 2000mm below the surface of the ground.

Gas piping in California will have to have 18" of ground cover over it. So and 18" trench with a one inch pipe will be an inch too short. 2007 upc where damage is not likely to happen, steel gas piping can be instaled with 12" of ground cover. Warning it will be up to the inspector to decide where damage might be a problem.

Depending where you are at but most gas lines from mains to homes are about 18" to 30" deep. I would call locates to have them find out exactly where and how deep your gas line is and its free even if all you want to do is know.
