tbowker Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 It almost looks like a braided fuel line for a motorcycle...which would mean that the cloth is protecting rubber...and protecting it from UV damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
housewhisperer Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 Since the gas line to the gas igniter is in the firebox, the covering on the line may be an asbestos containing material. I spent some time online looking for information on coverings (asbestos and otherwise) on flexible gas lines and came up empty-handed. If your client wants to know what the covering is, you'll probably want to recommend having the material properly sampled and analyzed for asbestos. However, I don't think I'd spend the time or money. If there's a concern about the line, just have it professionally replaced with a modern, approved line. Just curious, was the igniter itself secured to the fire grate or can it be knocked around or moved without disassembly of any components? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homnspector Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 Looks a bit like an older style air compressor flex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
