Why do you say that? Coated copper is allowed in many areas, MN being one of them.

What is "coated" copper?

Looks like regular copper to me & copper is normally not recommended/approved for natural gas (LP is fine).

Perhaps not, in your area.

Coated copper is used for NG and LPG applications. The new breed has a poly coating similar to CSST for identification. Many jurisdictions allow it, and has been required for LPG (propane) for a long time. Didn't you ever wonder how they "got away with" burying those copper propane lines?
