I am running a gas line out to my garage, however the run is about
120feet so I'll need to use a couple of rolls. I am using type L soft
copper tubing. Is it okay to solder joints in a gas supply line or
should I use flared fittings? thanks

TH Hi, Flared fittings. How about length of yellow flexible hose kind?

You need to attend a day long course to buy this stuff and last I knew it was
fo contractors only.


I saw a 250' roll of yellow covered stainless flex pipe, for gas, at my
local home center, which also had fittings for it, so I'll guess it can
be purchased by mere mortals.

I don't think this stuff is rated for underground use.

A little checking on the web finds that you are correct, CSST tubing
isn't for ground contact.
