This wasn’t from an inspection, but rather a question I was asked. Someone sent me this picture and asked me a question about this fireplace in their home. Obviously there is a leak at the fitting and looks to be cross-threaded. My question is about the flexible gas line. Does that fall under manufacturer’s requirments of the insert? Are there any code requirements against flexible gas lines in the firebox?
Love second picture. Tape or Liquid dope visible on flange fitting, dont see that on pipe fitting side. Home owner tried repair again and in wrong spot?
So it is safe to use flex line in a gas fireplace that has a vented log set in it? My girlfriend just bought a new log set for her gas fireplace and the gas inlet on the new set is on the right hand side but the gas inlet into the fireplace is on the left. Is it safe for me to run a flex line around and behind the pan that came with the set to the other side?
