When you are installing a new gas fireplace or stove, you will need to run a natural gas line to the unit. You have two options available for running the gas line and can choose from solid iron pipe and CSST gas line . Solid iron pipe can only be run in short sections and requires numerous connections. This type of gas line is rigid and can make working around corners and certain angles difficult. CSST flexible gas line, on the other hand is less expensive to install as it can be ran longer distances and easily goes around corners.

Solid steel gas pipes are only a short length and often involve working with different elbows. You have to securely connect each section of the solid steel gas pipe together with the next section. Once the entire line has been run, then you have to check each joint for possible gas leaks. An easier option is to use flexible gas pipe , which is less expensive and easier to work with, than solid steel gas pipes.

Determining the Length of Flexible Gas Pipe You Require

To determine the length of flexible gas pipe, which is available on our website, here at Copperfield Chimney Supply, you will need to take some measurements. You can split a gas line at any point, by installing a tee. You will want to measure from under the home or in the basement, from the where you will install the tee, to under where the appliance will be located. Using this measurement, you will want to add additional length for running it through the floor, as well as having sufficient length to connect to the appliance.

Flexible gas pipe is a cost effective method for connecting gas fireplaces, gas logs, gas stove and other types of gas appliances. The flexible gas line contains corrugated stainless steel tubing, which is wrapped in a protective plastic coating. When you already have an existing gas line, you can split the gas line and use the flexible pipe to run to where you need the new connection. Flexible pipe can be run for longer distances, and requires fewer connections.

Before Installing Flexible Gas Pipe Shut Off the Gas

While installing flexible gas pipe to connect a new appliance, fireplace or stove to your natural gas line, you will want to take several precautions. You will want to shut off the natural gas line where it enters the home. Pilot lights will go out and should no longer be lit once the gas supply has been shut off. Once you verify the gas is off, you can install your new gas pipe line.
