Gastite® System
The Gastite® system is a safe, time-saving and efficient method of installing piping for natural gas and liquefied propane gas. It utilizes corrugated, semi-rigid stainless steel tubing (CSST) with polyethylene jacketing and fully integrated, all-metal components. We offer a comprehensive system of fittings and accessories from our patented XR2 Series Fittings and exclusive Modular Stub System; to our regulators, mounting hardware and protection devices. Gastite complies with ANSI LC1 "Fuel Gas Piping Systems Using CSST" and is listed with CSA, ICC and IAPMO.

Corrugated Stainless Steel Tubing >>Gastite® Corrugated Stainless Steel Tubing (CSST) supplies natural gas or LP gas to appliances. Gastite is a reliable, cost-effective system that can be installed in all modes of construction. Flexibility means quick and easy installations: Gastite® installs 30-70% faster than traditional piping methods. |
 |
Quick Connects & Accessories >>Quick-Connect valve and accessories provide a safe and easy "quick-connect" for barbecue grills, space heaters and decorative lighting. Recessed mounted quick connect boxes are available in stainless steel. Surface mounted boxes are offered in gray or white PVC. |
 |
Fittings >>Featuring its patent-pending multi-point seal, the Gastite® XR2 fitting’s sealing surface does not sit on the cut end of the tubing, so even the most unsightly cut will yield a tight seal. The XR2 fitting is also reduced in size and requires minimal torque, making the installation of larger sizes considerably easier. With no o-rings or gaskets, the reusable brass components provide a reliable metal-to-metal installation. |
 |
Tubing Cutters & Accessories >>Tubing Cutters, fitted with cutting wheels designed to cut stainless steel, create clean cuts for optimal flaring of tubing. The Gastite 18" Spud Wrench provides the ability to get into tight spaces, while its smooth jaws delivers traction without marring surfaces (fits up to 2-inch fittings). |
 |
Mounting Hardware >>Termination brackets, rooftop blocks, recessed gas outlet boxes, and manifold brackets. Everything needed to properly and conveniently install Gastite® flexible gas piping in commercial, industrial and residential applications. |
 |
Bonding Clamps >>Bonding clamps for proper bonding and grounding are required for Gastite installation. |
 |
Modular Stub System >>The Gastite® Modular Stub System creates a fixed point "stub-out" on a wall or floor surface for meter and appliance attachment. Reducing the number of joints in the system where "stub-outs" are typically fabricated from rigid pipe nipples, elbows and couplings, the Modular Stub System is aesthetically pleasing and a time saver. |
 |
Regulators >>Gastite® offers Maxitrol, Pietro Fiorentini, and OARA regulators for use in elevated pressure systems (in excess of 1/2 psi) to reduce pressure to standard appliance use levels. Outdoor vent protectors and vent line protectors for end termination are also available. |
 |
Strike Protection >>Where flexible gas piping passes through structural members and is restricted from moving to avoid potential puncture threats, Gastite recommends striker plates for protection. Steel conduit is also available to provide additional protection where striker plates cannot be easily installed. |
 |
System Identification >>Adhesive Labels for are offered to identify elevated pressure systems, as well as metal tags for Uniform Plumbing Code compliance. |
 |
Manifolds>>Manifolds provide central distribution point for individual runs to each appliance. |
