One of the worst I've seen!

[Geoffrey Smith]

Saw this yesterday: a rubber natural gas extension running from furnace to fireplace.
First of all, there's no clamp on the rubber hose. Second, it's a rubber hose used in an interior bathroom.

It runs through the house:
30781
To the outside - directly below a sliding glass door, back inside to the fireplace.
30782
Any recommendations or further problems seen here?
Thanks.

That is CSST with a lightning strike outer covering - it is made for gas - it is not what you described it to be.

Now, the installation of it is ... well ... leaves A LOT to be desired.

If you thought that was a rubber hose you need to spend more time during the inspection actually inspecting and not jumping to conclusions. Spending more time leaning about materials and methods would also be advisable.

Thanks Jerry. I appreciate it.
