Corrugated
stainless steel tubing (CSST)
Corrugated stainless steel tubing (CSST) is a
promising alternative to traditional threaded black-iron gas piping for
residential, commercial and industrial applications. Its light weight,
flexibility, and need for fewer connections and fittings can make it
easier to
install than traditional threaded black-iron piping. These benefits can
add up
to substantial labor savings for installers and cost savings for
builders.
