About FlashShield

FlashShield flexible gas piping provides installation time savings for the contractor, and allows for greater design flexibility around the use of gas fired appliances for the architect and contractor.  FlashShield metallically shielded flexible gas pipe provides the highest level of lightning protection available and is the only flexible gas piping product to meet the electrical arcing requirements of the ICC-ES PMG LC1027 listing criteria. Due to product flexibility, FlashShield piping can be routed through a structure similarly to pulling wire.  The continuous nature of the piping runs reduces fitting connections and potential leak points by up to 80% that would otherwise be present in a rigid gas piping installation.
