Is this installation acceptable? A friend sent this photo and I told him no due to improper clearance. Any thoughts.

Mathew,

Pex is Combustible ( saw some after it popped and put out a kitchen fire. )

The Gas line in the back looks like it is not properly supported.

"Any thoughts."

"no due to improper clearance"

You said it all, I really could not add anything. :)
