VIDEOClick to see full answer. Thereof, can you cut a gas line?You really should not use any electrically powered tools to cut the pipe, since there is still gas in the line even with the main off. A sawzall has ignition potential. Use a wheel cutter or a hacksaw, these are the preferred (safest) methods.Furthermore, can you bury flexible gas line? Yes, however it must be sleeved in a non-metallic conduit ½” larger than the pipe. HOME-FLEX CSST has been tested and certified by CSA and IAPMO for compliance with the industry standard ANSI LC-1 / CSA 6.26, “Fuel Gas Piping Systems using Corrugated Stainless Steel Tubing (CSST).” Also to know is, where can flexible gas line be used? Flexible connectors may not be permitted on gas furnaces, water heaters, space heaters, etc. In areas prone to earthquake, flexible connectors are more likely to be used on all appliances since they provide some measure of protection against gas piping leakage or rupture during an earthquake.Can you connect two flexible gas lines together?Gas connectors should never be used as a substitute for gas piping. This means that if you ever see two connectors joined together, it’s an improper installation. This material is not a flexible gas line.
