CSST appliance connectors should not pass through walls. CSST distribution piping can.  
That is an appliance connector.

Depends on your AHJ.  
Here, the wall must have a **sleeve** for (CSST dist. pipe) to pass through.  
Agree, no on the CSST appliance connector.

CSST is not allowed to be used directly to an appliance around here either.

Check local code but this is what I have…  
CSST is not designed to be used as a flexible gas appliance  
connector and shall not be used as a substitute. The use of CSST  
as a final connection for permanently installed appliances, such  
as water heaters, furnaces, and boilers is allowed. CSST shall  
terminate outside of the appliance jacket where the excessive  
heat may ignite or damage the protective coating. The use of  
CSST as a final connection of movable gas appliances, such as  
ranges and clothes dryers, is not allowed.  
CSST shall not be installed outdoors and shall not be run  
underground unless installed in a sleeve or conduit.
