Question Re: Improper Installation

Wow... Are some of those flex connectors in your last " flex connector -coupling pipe- flex pipe" picture (copper in color) some of the "warning replace these" asap flex connector types?
There is a huge campaign by our local gas company to replace all old copper color (non-coated) flex connectors due to coupling separation issues.

BOOM! House is gone type of problem.

Scary stuff guys!!!

The flex in the picture from the valve to the cabinet looks like an appliance connecter and not CSST. See the smaller diameter right at the fitting?

You are correct. It was CSST connected to an appliance connector.
