cbass Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Hey guys, I was at a home today with a gas FP in the basement. It had the yellow Flexible CSST gas pipe simply going through an adjacent wall (from the unfinished section of the basement), traveling un-protected and un-secured to the wall (just laying in the corner by the base molding) for about 15 feet before entering the FP. I am not familiar with the code or rules as far as this goes. Should it be boxed in or protected in some other way? Thanks.

Bill Kibbel Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 How about reading the manufacturer's installation instructions? In about 15 minutes, you'll know everything about how it's supposed to be installed, in every situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottpat Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 GasTite has a wealth of information on CSST. http://www.gastite.com/bonding.php They have also introduced a new product called FlashShield. They had it at InspectionWorld at their booth. It has a couple of layers along with a mesh sleeve that is suppose to dissipate any electrical charges along with any heat. The key with CSST is in bonding it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
