Re: CSST required at gas applicances
On newer construction I see black pipe from the meter to the CSST manifold in the crawl space or up the wall to the attic. CSST from the manifold to the top plate or bottom plate. Black pipe in the wall and stubbed out of the sheetrock to within about a foot of the applicance. CSST from the stub to more black pipe with a sediment/drip leg. Basically all the black pipe is standard length pipe so no cutting or threading.
The house is question was 11 months old. Water heater and attic furnace had CSST last foot. Heat pack had all black pipe.
Western NC is category 3 so has to meet siesmic stuff but that is basically Winston Salem and points West.
I was in Fuquay Monday. Fuquay, the best of all the Varinas.
