[/quote] It complies with Essential Gas safety if thats what you mean, Pipe is protected in the notch with "Armaflex" self adhesive lagging tape as is the other pipes.

Copper is ok if protected from nails etc which it will be, marker tape is ok and not shown in pic.

The compression fitting is not allowed and only being used to temporary cap the pipe end subject to being extended after other work which took priority.

Shakes head....

I only do domestic, but i'd challenge any spark to any pipebending in MI/mild steel. I'll even use a hand bender and let y'all use ther hydraulic machine, and hand cut the threads and let you guys use the electric die.
