The type of line used for gas depends on the specific application and the type of gas being transported. Generally, gas lines are made of either copper, steel, or flexible tubing.
Copper tubing is commonly used for indoor gas lines in residential and commercial buildings. It is easy to install, highly resistant to corrosion, and has a long lifespan.
Steel piping is used for outdoor gas lines and high-pressure applications. It is durable, strong, and can withstand extreme temperatures. However, steel pipes are prone to corrosion, which can lead to leaks.
Flexible tubing, also known as CSST (Corrugated Stainless Steel Tubing), is a newer type of gas line that is becoming increasingly popular. It is made of stainless steel and is highly flexible, making it easy to install in tight spaces. CSST is also resistant to corrosion and has a long lifespan.
Regardless of the type of gas line used, it is important to ensure that it is installed and maintained by a licensed professional to ensure safe and reliable operation.
