Flex gas line connection
I thought there had been a previous thread about this "non standard' installation, but I couldn't find it. Is this allowed?

If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.

According to the industry, CSS can be used where ever steel pipe would be used.

Re: Flex gas line connection
But, as Aaron stated, that's an appliance connector, not CSST.

Re: Flex gas line connection
Why is this product not treated and require the same protection as CSST which is heavier grade.
Seems ridiculous to bond CSST when this is downwind of it.
Just thought after looking at a few thousand of them.

Re: Flex gas line connection
An "appliance connector" means it must be within 6 feet of the appliance and connected to the appliance. See ANSI Z21.24 vs. LC1 for CSST, which is "piping" and not a "connector". Read the listed instructions for each. The application in the photo is improper. Flexible appliance connectors cannot exceed 3ft except for dryers and ranges, which can be up to 6ft. in order to pull the appliance out. You can NOT splice flexible appliance connectors the way you can CSST. The mechanical couplings with CSST are made up on site for each connection. The couplings on flexible appliance connectors are made in a factory supervised by a listing agency. Two entirely separate products.
Keep the fire in the fireplace.

Re: Flex gas line connection
I agree that CSST and gas appliance connectors are separate entities, each with its own set of manufacturer's installation instructions and other industry standards. That said, they are very similar in that they consist of thin-walled flexible stainless steel tubing.
