    Yeah they are really light, guess that's why they're not too worried about it, the big gas meters here get support.

    Wow thats ashame. However there are some Lennox units that call for 3" and then drop down to 2" at the very end for an excellerator. Looks like these guys just needed to fit between the brick and the 3/4' gas line lol

    Is it 2 feet at termination? This house was just built. They could not have been living there more than 2 months.

    I think code calls for 2 feet separation.
