And those are just the ones that feed the stove top, oven and the gas logs. I did not even show you the STAB LOK panel. We could hold a three day class in this house.

Copper tubing is not allowed for use with natural gas in my area.

No Copper in Phoenix either, Galvanized was used but Black Iron & CSST is strictly used now, if I had either Galvanized or Copper in my home I would replace it, regardless of what the "Code" maybe in your area Buck I'd say get rid of them both in a report.

Many parts of the country do use galv. pipe for natural gas and it is allowed. I would never pretend to know what is or isn't allowed in other parts of the world. We have inspectors from all over the world here so what may not be allowed in one jurisdiction may be in the next county. Like Dale, what I would do in my own home is another matter.

The reason Galvanized should not be used is because of flaking, That is why black Iron is used in most places .

Can flex gas lines be installed in concrete this way?
I don't believe CSST can be directly embedded in concrete. I believe it needs inside a non-metallic watertight conduit with an I.D. at least ½” larger than the tubing outside diameter. And within conduit it should be one piece with no splices or joints.
