Never seen it, never used it.

What does the writing say on the outer jacket of the pipe?

 

I've never used it http://www.valenciapipe.com/csst/ I've used tracpipe, gastite and Parker but I don't really like to use any of it. Its handy on some jobs though. Black iron is a lot cheaper and I trust it more.

 

Yes that stuff. I must have bought it a dozen times and taken it back because I would just use black pipe. In his particular case thought it would have been horrible to try to tigjten the fittings where I had to run the pipe. I do see some of the installation advantages but I din't think I would ever buy this brand again

is it the same as pro-flex? does it use gaskets? I used pro-flex for a long time. I like the gasket much better than forcing a flare and sometimes having to repeat a few times. the gasket doesn't need to be cranked on. but now I am back to gastite for csst. I have been using more iron lately though.

 

gastite has a special cutter that looks very similar to a more common copper pipe cutter. the only real difference is that the rollers dont have a notch in them. apparently the notch in normal cutters leaves a burr which can cause a problem when compressing the fitting and making the flare.

 

I didn't know they made a cutter!! how am I just hearing of this. burrs can hinder the process.

 

it's on their site. i got one for xmas

your gastite dealer should be able to get it for you.

 

also, if you are going to make a cut, cut it 4 rings too long. that first cut always leaves a burr due to stress from the roll. then make the final cut, there is no stress on the little 4 ring piece and it is nearly perfect every time.
