I'm wondering if flex line in required at all? Could a furnace be piped only using solid piping? Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.

Most of the furnaces I see are hard piped. My furnace is hard piped. Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.

Not sure where you operate but flex line thru a cabinet is NOT allowed. Must be rigid pipe through cabinet enclosures.

All rigid is just fine in my area. Sismeic areas often require flex line up to the cabinet to allow the cabinet to rock and roll during a quake without breaking the gas line.
