    Default Furnace Flex Line

    I always call out flexible gas lines passing through the furnace wall ( the usual warning about the sheet metal cutting through the flex due to vibration etc...). Wednesday I saw something new. About a 1/8 inch thick rubber grommet/feed through between the flex line and the furnace sheet metal. Does this make it O.K.? I thought that the gas line had to be hard pipe to the interior of the furnace.

    The seller has had annual maintenance done by a good local HVAC company and the furnace is a Lennox. No comments from the furnace experts. I hate to make this an issue if it is just something that I have been previously unaware of.

    Somewhere I read that gromit is acceptable, and have always recommend iron pipe or gromit.

    The beatings will continue until morale has improved. mgt.

    The grommet would protect the pipe from the sharp edges.
