Q. Can you use flex pipe for gas?
In short, flexible gas lines are perfectly safe as long as they’re properly installed. A CSST that is not correctly grounded or bonded can leak natural gas or become ignited, leading to a major fire hazard. Let’s look at exactly why that happens: CSST is extremely thin compared to the traditional 4 mm black pipe.

IPS is Iron Pipe Straight thread. It’s meant to seal on a washer (like the threads the hose for your toilet or faucets attach to). NPT is a tapered thread, designed to seal on the threads, which is why you put pipe tape on them – to lubricate them and help the threads deform and create a seal.
