Default Re: Gas flex line in crawl space

Jeff,
Let me ask you about a inspection I did a couple of weeks ago. The flex gas line was run directly in front of attic stairs. If you crawled up attic stairs the
the first thing that you would grab would be the flex

CSST can be run in the same manner as steel pipe. There are certain requirements for protection where CSST is run through walls or floors.

As long as it was properly supported, it can be run directly in front of an access point.

I would reccomend that the tubing be protected from physical damage if you think someone might step on it.
