If they are old and possibly brass colored there have been quite a few
fires caused by them rotting out. Look into it, it is a real saftey

Yes, our local gas utility issued a mandatory replacement notice for those

They had to be replaced with SS flex lines and only SS is allowed to be
installed on new installations.
