1/2" x 100' Stainless Steel Gas Tubing, Corrugated

CounterStrike® FGP-CS-500-100 – 1/2" x 100' Flexible Corrugated Stainless Steel Tubing (CSST) for Gas Piping Systems CounterStrike® by TracPipe® is a 1/2 inch nominal diameter CSST (corrugated stainless steel tubing) supplied on a 100-foot reel, engineered for distributing natural gas and propane in residential and commercial systems. Designed to meet ANSI LC 1/CSA 6.26 requirements, it offers improved resistance to lightning-induced damage compared to standard yellow-jacketed CSST, without requiring additional bonding beyond normal grounding per code. Constructed from 300-series stainless steel with a patented black energy-dissipating jacket, CounterStrike® tubing minimizes arcing risks and provides enhanced mechanical durability. Its flexibility allows for direct routing through framing without the need for excessive fittings, while AutoSnap® fittings (sold separately) simplify termination without threading or disassembly. Key Features Non-annealed stainless steel core for enhanced crush resistance Conductive jacket design disperses energy from transient voltage or lightning strikes Bends easily around corners and through framing, reducing joint count Compatible with AutoSnap® fittings – no split rings or special tools required Suitable for indoor and outdoor installation in accordance with IFGC and NFPA 54 Conductive polymer jacket is UV and ozone resistant for exterior applications Specifications Nominal Size: 1/2 inch Length: 100 feet Material: 300-series stainless steel tubing Coating: Black energy-dissipating polymer jacket Wall Thickness: 0.010 inches Operating Pressure: Up to 25 psi Temperature Range: -20°F to 200°F Standards Compliance: ANSI LC 1 / CSA 6.26 ICC-ES PMG Listing NFPA 54 / ANSI Z223.1 ASTM E84 flame/smoke testing Certification Use: Approved for use in gas distribution systems for fuel gas piping under recognized building and mechanical codes Applications Residential and commercial fuel gas systems Natural gas and propane piping for appliances, furnaces, and water heaters Retrofit and new construction routing where rigid pipe would be impractical Installation Guidance Installation must be performed by qualified professionals per local and national gas code requirements. All installations must be grounded as required and conducted using manufacturer-approved fittings. For direct burial, separate sleeving is required. CounterStrike® does not eliminate bonding requirements in jurisdictions that mandate full-system bonding regardless of CSST type.
