The reason is very simple. The Uniform Plumbing Code and the International Fuel Gas Code restricts their use. The reason for this determination is of little consequence. We as installers, servicers, and consumers must live by these rules and need not concern ourselves with the why or why nots. Our knowledge does not give us the right to evaluate and consider their use if we think it is acceptable. It simply is not! Regardless of local code this this applies to street elbows, street 45s, and close nipples or any cast fitting used to connect fuel carrying pipe..
