(Assuming you're not talking about underground service pipes...)
Can you get push fit connectors for gas use with copper pipe? I vaguely
thought that I've seen some?
There are some crimped (aka "Press fit") copper fittings that are
supposedly ok for gas use, e.g.
https://www.geberit.co.uk/products/p...pper-fittings/
(note the water and gas versions are different)
Then there are the flexible systems based on stainless corrugated pipe
like tracpipe... that uses compression fittings rather than pushfit IIUC.
