Top Answer (63% of 19 votes): Yes, is is safe when properly installed.
Answer: It varies on a case-by-case basis
Explanation: When properly installed it is safe. It's the other varibles that come into play with CSST. Some plumbers hang in from the roof joist. When you get a new roof the roofers are not aware of where this pipe is and can very easily shoot a nail thru it causing a gas leak. Also when the piping is laying in the attic it can be stepped on causing a leak at the manifold. I would run black iron to prevent these issues. | | SDL Plumbing Inc. | Answer: Yes, is is safe when properly installed

Explanation: If it is properly bonded with a minimum 6 gauge wire, or you use the CSST in the black jacketed tubing, it is supposed to be safe. I personally work a little harder and install black pipe for the same cost or less. | | Hit the Gas LLC | | | ProMatcher | Answer: It varies on a case-by-case basis
