Whenn measuring gas pipe for a new run, is the measurement taken from the
inside of one corner to the inside of the next (ie: the pipe meets inside
the elbow)? Is any extra length added to this measurement (ie: the pipe
almost meets inside the elbow), other? What are the tricks of the trade to
get the accurate measurement?

Thanks

I measure inside to inside of the fittings.

The threads do not loose but a fraction of the length. ~ 1/16 inch
