Installing a new pool heater.
Can the gas connection be a flexible pipe? or do i have to go black pipe all the way.
i want to be up to code.

The new one that I bought and installed came with a flexible connection.
eta: Disregard, this was an ordinary house space heater, I don't know anything about pool heaters.

The install drawing I saw has a flex line, between the gas control valve and the piping from the meter.

my drawing showed a straight black pipe.
i think I will just check with home depot helper guy. i bet he will know. i have had good luck with these old plumbers that work there.
from what i am seeing is that some flex is for indoors only.
