No. Needs a sleeve.

Check for bonding from the gas meter to the main panel or electrode.

Depends on who makes it. Some require anything below 6 ft to be in a protective cover. I have also read another manufacturer does not even allow it on the outside.

Correct, and the radius in the sideways picture looks too tight.

Hey I very well know what csst looks like and yes it needs physical protection along with bonding but I swear that looks like a loose covering on the material to me.
Must be just paint.
Fine go that way.
