I assumed he was referring to Pic#2 I posted. But even with the piping in the original photo (which I assume is typical CSST like TracPipe) you are right that very tight bends are also allowed ... but larger sweeps are better practice.

I am absolutely amazed sometimes by how much thought goes into doing things wrong ...

Being a licenced gasfitter, this installation looks perfectly fine aslong as it was sized correctly. It's definatly not the most attractive install I've seen, but I see nothing wrong with it. Personally I'm almost sceptical of the CSST lawsuit at this time... to me it's almost like filing a lawsuit against Panasonic because my TV is a fire hazard because it will spark if hit by lightning.
