CSST Exposed
I haven't seen CSST installed exposed like this, seems like the sun would eat up the coating. If it's OK exposed, should it be supported off the roof? How about those bends where it penetrates the roof with no elbow (or flashing).

The whole installation looks pretty sorry.

Re: CSST Exposed
The roof penetration is clearly ridiculous.

"The jacket is engineered with thermal and UV resistant material making it suitable for outdoor use."

It is not installed properly, either on the roof or on the wall.

Re: CSST Exposed
Make sure it is the proper distance away from the deck per manufacturer's installation instructions. In this case it would not have been far enough.

Re: CSST Exposed
Agreed, nothing about that install looks professional. There are several issues with that install and I would definately recommend repair by a professional. Excellent product when installed correctly, dangerous when installed like this.
