Licensed plumbers typically use materials such as black steel, copper, and flexible corrugated stainless steel tubing (CSST) for gas line installations. The choice of material can impact the overall cost and durability of the system. Black steel is durable and cost-effective but may require more labor for installation. Copper is also durable but can be more expensive. CSST is flexible and easier to install, but it may be more costly upfront. Overall, the choice of material depends on factors such as budget, local building codes, and the specific needs of the gas line installation.

This technology enables the plumber to identify the exact location and nature of the blockage without the need for invasive methods, helping to efficiently and accurately address the issue.
