I hope THEY NEVER ALLOW it...Scary...Chris...no one worth their salt in NYC brazes gas..thats a bad joke, right? Mad Dog
It was a joke, though I'm not sure why it's bad. A good quality brazed joint is quite strong, and apparently allowed by code in NYC.

It’s allowed in NYS because there are areas that allow for copper tubing and flare/brazed connections. Copper tubing is not allowed in NYC for gas piping.

Put your brazing rods away in the 5 boroughs.

Iron press for gas may be allowed in other parts of NYS, but not NYC.

Re: New York City gas

Clearly the real pros weld or braze gas piping in NYC.
Threaded joints are for DIY.

We are not robots, Chris. I speak only for myself, but I actually enjoy and am very interested in other people's references, Little stories, life experiences, age differences. It would be very cold and boring otherwise. Mad Dog

I'm going to need you to prove that.....

Like most things, @JakeCK and @jumper ,it's a matter of concentration and time. And sensitivity. You can't make a blanket statement that oh it's fine, not a problem -- nor can you make a blanket statement that OMG you'll die. Neither one is true.

Re: Spray foam insulation

Formaldehyde is everywhere. It is naturally occurring as well. We actually have enzymes that can metabolize it, and in fact our own bodies produce it constantly.

Say it again. After Canadian fiasco some guys studied issue and UFFI is not the problem. As Jake says: formaldehyde is everywhere. But we live in the Age of Snowflakes when EVERYTHING will make us grow two heads.
