Default Natural Gas Fireplaces

Can these fireplaces be fed with copper pipe? For example fed of a fitting and reduced to flexible copper tubing, about 1/4 pipe? Let me know

In my area I often see the steel supply pipes reduced to soft 1/2" copper tubing for the final run to the F/P. Check local authority.
