Default Approved gas pipe?

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.

I would be inclined to believe this 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.

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 go along with this as well.
No flex or connections in the wall. CSST allowed in INTERIOR locations IAW Mfg recommendations.

Gas connectors will not pass through building or appliance wall.

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.
