The meter was on adjacent exterior. The main fuel pipe is located in garage.
Is this an acceptable material? Any report verbiage would be appreciated. I was looking through the National Fuel code and this does not appear to be properly sleeved and I am unsure of the material. |

It looks like CSST with the covering removed.

I believe when it is run through exterior walls it needs to be sleeved, also.

Larry, that is surprising to see Brian as a believer.
Not sure about residential, but Commercial, nothing but hard pipe is approved to go through an exterior wall, permanent or temporary installations both. Maybe it is a State Regy or something. LEED Green Associates InachiAwardsPortal: Inachi US Member of the Year Award 2009 |

Having seen/inspected miles and miles of every kind of pipe carrying all types of Gasses/Liquids/Cryogenic Fluids, yes I believe in proper piping installations. |

I know, and I like it. As for flex pipe in walls, that is allowed by the manufacturer and the code. Local codes may not allow it.
