Yellow plastic gas lines
I saw an inspection document that stated the gas line must have a minimum of 2" clearance from combustible materials. I looked at this yellow plastic gas line feeding the furnace that was stuffed between the foil backed insulation between the supply and return ducts running vertical. Is he correct? Made no sense to me however, I am not a plumber!
thanks for any insight.

Re: Yellow plastic gas lines
I bet that you are talking about CSST pipe. It has a yellow outside plastic cover over a corrugated stainless steel pipe.

Re: Yellow plastic gas lines
I'd love to see that report.
The only clearance requirement I can think of off hand would be a 1" clearance to the furnace flue pipe (B vent). I can't think of a 2" requirement for anything.
