Is there a concern with the flexible gas line, where does the other end go? Is it CSST?, is there a union?

Those appliance connectors are CSST too and have different installation methods and limitations than the regular CSST distribution piping.

If your local code requires additional bonding on houses with CSST then this one falls under that.


The typical "pipe dope" is common for those fittings and natural gas but not allowed for LP gas.

Pipe Dope is not allowed on Compression Fittings, EVER.

It does look like some is on there but maybe it got smeared on there after the fact. When I touch that mess I end up wiping it on whatever is nearby.

Hard to see any on the compression end with the flash. I see it on the end of the fitting on the pipe thread side.
