Gas Plumbing Question

[Illymost]

First let me say, I have and will, hire a professional. I am building a house and one gas line in the basement ceiling is running to a first floor fireplace. Because of LVL’s, it must drop below the ceiling. I have to stud out a wall that would leave some dead space that the pipe could run through, but instead of a straight shot it would add 4 90* elbows to the run. Is this not advisable? Or would it be fine?

Thank you in advance for your replies.

Your fine adding 90's. As long as it is sized correctly for the BTU's in the house your fine. The only time we would go up a size is when we had a long run of CSST, the corrugations disrupt the flow. At least that is what they told me

Check your LVL specs and maybe substitute/order a rated microlam from Weyerhauser, which allow holes New Round Hole Capabilities for Microllam LVL, Parallam PSL and TimberStrand LSL
