Gas Flex 1/2" Tubing Pipe KIT 33ft with 2 MALE Fittings Gasflex

Ran outside gas service to heater/ac. This stuff is great and IT IS burial, the yellow coating on it that makes it possible. 150psi pressure rating is WAY MORE than you need, nat gas is about 9 OUNCES after the pressure regulator at the meter, same for propane. The trick to using this stuff is TAKE your TIME! Unroll it slowly and straighten it as you unroll it so as not to kink it. Cutting is easy with GOOD tubing cutters, sharp cutter wheel, again take your time, tighten the cutter a very little at a time, take several rounds and tighten again, etc. to much tension to the cutter will crush the pipe. Remember "slow and go beats fast and crash" with this tubing. I ran 30 feet of it no problem, swooping bend around end of house (probably a 12 in radius), easy to use fittings on the pipe and you can buy extra fittings from company and here at amazon. OH after you cut the pipe gently ream the pipe so you don't damage the O-rings on the fitting when reinstalling pipe to fitting, DON'T use any lube on the O-rings, assembly is snug but easy to do and lube will deteriorate the O-rings over time. This is what I found with using this tubing, I am a master plumber and I would recommend this to add gas to whatever. Buy with ease of mind folks, good stuff if you TAKE your time. James

Installed a heater in my garage and had to run the gas line through the attic and into the basement. This made running the gas line super easy. It's flexible as though you can bend it anyway you want and it stays in the position. Great hardware and will definitely last!

easy to bend easy to work with, and zero leak on first try. had 8 black pipe thread connections from main pipe to water heater, installed a new water heater with gas flex, and now it has only 2 thread connections, 1 at the main pipe and 1 at the water heater. no elbows needed as 90degree bends are extremely easy to do with this piping.

Good value for your money

Arrived as promised and with two fittings. Note about the fittings: You get one female and one male if nothing is specified... both are standard 1/2" fittings. I should have ordered it with two male ends, as every valve and elbow, t-joint, etc, is female when working with gas. The stuff was very easy to install. I did radius bends of about 6" by hand... you could probably do more if you were careful and had something to wrap the flex pipe around. Cuts easily with a standard tubing cutter but be sure to go slowly... just a very slight increase in cut depth, then around the pipe again... if you try to go for too much, you'll bend the thin wall tube. It is thin wall tube. Thus, if you are going to run it anywhere where it might get whacked with something, you should provide additional protection, like running it through a PVC tube. My application was to install a gas grill which required 28 feet of flex pipe. It ran from a T connection in the rafters of my garage, along my covered walkway, then down a 4 x 4 supporting the walkway, where I ran it down the 4 x 4 to a valve and BBQ quick connect. I enclosed the portion of the flex pipe that ran down the 4 x 4 inside a 3/4" piece of PVC. Finally, in Houston, this particular material is not listed as code approved. However, the code also allows for "equivalent materials" (you have to prove it up). My installation is also exposed, and I added a valve at the the T as well. If I were to sell my house, I could simply disconnect at the T for the inspector and I would have no issues. The buyer could reconnect as she sees fit.

Plumbing a propane grill about 20 ft. from the main tank then using a Y connector to continue onto a gas log set inside the home. This product worked perfectly, bending around a small porch then up to the attic then down the wall to the logs. Could not have done this job as easily with black pipe, saved tremendous time and money. I did use short pieces of black pipe at the connections but used this piping in 90% of the routing.

This is the first time I have worked with this type of pipe. It made the routing of a new line for my through wall Propane heater so much easier than using rigid pipe.whe For the uninitiated, this "Flex" pipe is not like running a garden hose. However, with a bit of effort, and an ample dose of caution to be sure to not kink the flex pipe, I was able to route the pipe around a 90 degree bend (about a 8" radius bend) from a drop ceiling space, down a wall cavity. The route for the pipe involved several areas where the pipe would be exposed to potential abrasion. The risk was minimal and any abrasion that occurred would be minimal but I wanted to reduce the potential risk as much as possible. I had some PVC pipe with an ID about 3/8" larger than the OD of the FlexPipe. I routed the PVC through the areas of potential damage, then routed the FlexPpe through the PVC All in all I have no problem recommending this product. Please remember that you are working with an explosive gas. Follow approved installation practices as well as your local codes.

Hopefully it will stand the test of time since it does have natural gas running through it. The length was just right for what we needed but it was very difficult to maneuver into place.
