No. You can use flared fittings with a flaring tool and soft copper pipe.

Gas pipes are bent to facilitate the routing and installation of the piping system in a way that avoids obstacles, fits within tight spaces, and maintains a smooth flow of gas. Bending helps reduce the need for additional fittings, which can introduce potential leak points. Properly bent pipes also help ensure structural integrity and compliance with safety regulations.
Flare fitting threads have a 37-degree cone shape that creates a tight seal when the flared end of a tube is inserted and tightened, making them ideal for high-pressure applications. In contrast, compression fitting threads use a straight thread and rely on a compression ring (ferrule) to create a seal as the nut is tightened, allowing for easier installation and disassembly. While both types of fittings are used in plumbing and HVAC systems, flare fittings are generally preferred for gas lines, whereas compression fittings are often used in water and air lines.
The type-B variants are called manipulative as they call for the tubing modifications. Such fittings are incorporated in the setups of special supply lines such as gas lines.
Compression fittings are used to join two tubes or pipes together. Typically it is used when the two pipes are different materials or different sizes. They are also sometimes used on pipes where it is difficult to solder or maybe dangerous to do so.
Pretty much any fitting that will fit. Narural gas is naurally leak averae and wont leaak out of fittings, only pipes with holes.
It depends on the laws of your state or country. I would say, to be safe, inspect the gas line and install the same type of fittings you find there.
Natural gas sould be transfered in yellow pipes.
It is not a good idea to use copper pipe with natural gas as any sulphur compounds in the gas can cause an oxide to form in the copper pipe. Often copper is used with propane. In these instances, soft copper tubing is usually used with compression fittings. The tools required are, pipe cutter and 2 wrenches.

Oil or natural gas
To connect natural gas fittings to a propane tank, you need to ensure compatibility by using a propane-to-natural gas conversion kit, which includes the appropriate regulators and fittings. First, turn off the propane supply and ensure all components are rated for the pressures involved. Then, carefully follow the kit instructions to replace the propane regulator with the natural gas regulator, ensuring all connections are secure and leak-free. It's crucial to consult a professional or local codes to ensure safety and compliance.
Pipes carrying natural gas are typically color-coded with a yellow exterior to indicate that they contain gas. This yellow color helps workers and emergency responders easily identify gas lines and take appropriate safety precautions.
Yes, natural gas can corrode solder on copper pipes over time. This is due to the sulfur compounds present in natural gas that can react with the copper and cause deterioration of the solder joint. It is essential to use approved materials and proper installation techniques when working with natural gas lines to prevent corrosion issues.
