The rubber flexible hose does not offer the protection from physical and thermal damage that steel pipe offers and the flexible connector, when used, shall be kept as short as pssible. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to correct this hazard is to install rigid steel pipe for all natural gas use and use approved flexible connectors for connecting gas utilization equipment.
