Blocking RF on water pipes and propane pipes

fantasticsam131
Is there any kind of ferrite that can be used to put on water pipes and pipes that come into the house from the propane tank to block RF coming in on those pipes?  My propane pipe is about 1 inch pipe.  So I'm looking for a ferrite device that can be wrapped around the pipe just before it enters the house.  Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Someone more knowledgable should chime in, but wouldn't replacing a small section of the pipe with a insulated non-metallic section of pipe work?

Yes, it's called a dielectric union, and a plumber should know
what it is.

You can by ferrite sheets that are designed to go inside
RF devices.  It might work a little at high RF frequencies,
but I think a 1" choke might not work well.

Thanks.  I found a one inch choke and will install it when it comes.  Will look into a dielectric union.  I live in a mobile home that has plastic piping.  The metal pipe ends right before it goes up into the house.  So I shouldn't need to concern myself with the water pipe since it becomes plastic???????  thanks
