Can someone help me with my write up on this. I’m correct that it is a no no, correct? The flex does not pass through the floor. It is connected to a nipple and then to another flex line. For gas logs. image|368x500
You should really post a little bit more information about what’s going on with those gas lines. It sounds like at least one gas connector is being used as a piece of pipe so the short answer would be no.
Martin, were you able to see both pictures. I went back and looked at my post and only one show up easily.
I only see one Ben.
Ben I see the other photograph now I had to click on the link. You can’t put two appliance connectors together there’s a maximum length in your state code I’m sure this exceeds it.
As a side note the entire appliance connector should be located in the same room as the appliance.
Yep…Martin has it correct.

I see this sometimes in my area, it appears to be a handyman’s job or DIY, I live in CA, and local SoCal Gas, affirmed that multiple flex connectors are not permissible and need to be solid black gas pipe supported every 6’feet & 4"inches above soil or interior flooring. If in soil it needs to be black pipe insulated.

Here is an example wright up i use and I modify It to detail the subject deficiency.
[At the time of inspection it appears one or more flexible connectors used for gas supply lines passed through a wall, a floor, a ceiling, shelving and/or cabinets. Flexible connectors passing through walls, floors, ceilings, shelving or cabinets can be damaged, and leaks can occur as a result. This is a potential safety and/or fire hazard. Recommend that a qualified contractor repair per standard building practices.]
Hope this helps.
