Question:
I’m considering putting a washer/gas dryer hookup in a kitchen. I’d have to tap off the gas line from the range. This would require a run of about 20 feet under a bunch of kitchen cabinets. Is there any material I can use other than the standard black pipe to run this line? Removing the cabinets would be difficult (if not impossible, at least without damage, due to the way they’re installed), so I’d have to do it with very small pieces of pipe. Thanks in advance… Steve

When the route got "hairy" they switched over to this yellow flexible tubing. You do have to be careful with it. They kinked it in one spot and had to cut it and rejoin it with a $20 brass adaptor. Nail guards are a must and they went back to pipe whenever it was not running in a wall or crawl space. John Eaton
Response:
copper has been approved for use in Canada…I have both my gas fireplace and my gas bbq installed with copper… BTW it’s specially approved copper for gas use not quite the same as water pipes.
