Default Flexible gas pipe needed

I am installing a new boiler in the loft space. To do this I need to run
22mm copper up the outside of the house and into the loft. The awkward bit
is getting the pipe 'round the corner' at the eaves, i.e. through the soffit
and over the top of the wall into the loft. I have run tv and network cables
this route and I know it is difficult even with such flexible wires.

Anyone know if there is any flexible pipe that can be used for this with
gas?


I've seen flexible copper pipe (flexinle due to concertina-style
ridges, and made to be bent once only). Ive only sen it in 15mm
though. It may exist in 22mm. Whether it is legal to use it for gas, I
don't know.

Its also available in stainless steel, (as used on gas meters) this is OK
with gas.
