Gas fireplace
Going to an inspection this morning and the gas fireplace has copper piping ran to it. I think gas & brass tubing is ok if gas is <0.3 grains of hydrogen sulfide. This is a 2-3 part question:
Is this correct? Is there any other thing I missed? How would you word it? I have seen it before of course butits been a long while and I know this client is worried about it as per the agent! Thank you gentlemen and have a great day inspecting! Randy

Re: Gas fireplace
Copper tubing very common here. Call your local utility.

Re: Gas fireplace
Yep, call your utility company. Copper is prohibited in my area.

Brass gas appliance hoses have been on the CPSC's recall list for many years.
