There are flex lines made specifically for oil, I use them on boilers that have swing doors, and when installing a tiger loop. Read the tag that's on the line, it will tell you whether It's rated for oil, or for plumbing.
that looks like one of the oil flex lines. I would have personally put the shut off at the coupler between the hose and copper line.
hard to tell form the pic,but it most likely is rated for oil.it looks like a buderus which is a swing door boiler.wish more installers did that.
Thanks, I'll check the tag. It just threw me when I saw it never having seen it used before.
I thought codes required a connector and lines that wouldn't fail in a fire.
yes they come with Buderus boilers
Those are legal oil connections in Massachusetts.
I don't know as I would leave it so you could trip over it. I would have clamped the envirotube to the floor and put a loopy thing in the hose.
